Consumer: Um At Yeronga Street, Durham Officer: How you spell Durham? Consumer: D-U-R-H-A-M Officer: Of course, I should know that—but it's just one of those names that sounds quite different from the way you spell it Consumer: It is confusing—I've seen it spelt with two Rs Officer: And what's the postcode for Durham? Consumer: 4105 Officer: Good And you work? Consumer: No, not at the moment Officer: Okay, so no work number What about a home phone number?

Officer: The individual person, company or business that you're claiming against Is the claim against a landlord, tenant, trader or driver? Consumer: Well, it's a company that sells home appliances Officer: So, that's 'trader' then Just a moment while I write that down Consumer: ABC Appliances actually Officer: Oh, now, this part is really important If the respondent is a company you must have the company's full and correct name and registered address Consumer: I've looked it up on the Internet and it's ABC Appliances Limited Officer: Good If we don't get this part absolutely right, you won't have a legal claim And their registered address? 5 Consumer: Yes, I've got that written down here Just a minute it's um 17 Brown Avenue Officer: That's in Bardon, isn't it?

Part Interviewer: My guest today is the Irish comedian Kevin Burke, now a familiar face on our TV screens Kevin welcome Kevin Burke: Hi Interviewer: And it's generally a smiling face we see too, isn't it Kevin? But are you really like that, or is there another you 'behind the painted smile', as it were? Kevin Burke: Well, I'm always being asked that The cliché that every comedian carries within a black heart is fundamentally untrue I'm afraid my childhood unfolded without major incident and to date there's been very little trauma in my life So I'm sorry to disappoint everyone, but I'm a fairly well-adjusted human being People wrongly tend to assume that comedians will be prone to depression It's probably because the comedian is always finding humour in everyday misery, that's how comedy works It's what makes it funny I know these things I've read about them in books Interviewer: Yes tell me about the books - because you really mean that, don't you? Kevin Burke: Indeed I There's one particular book I admire It's called Laughter, and it's by a neuroscientist called Robert Provine; he's the world's leading expert on laughter It wasn't his intention, but it reads like a kind of 'How To' book for comedians Did you know, for example, that in the comfort of your own home, you rarely laugh out loud, no matter how funny a joke or situation might be? But in a café, chatting amongst friends, you'll laugh at almost anything without fail Most of the time, laughter's simply a nervous mechanism, a breaking of tension Audiences laugh at comedians because those around them are laughing too It's a social thing, according to Provine And so, as a stand-up comedian, all I is break their collective tension I lift the audience up and then drop them Interviewer: It's probably safe to assume that not all comedians approach comedy quite so theoretically, isn't it? I mean, you're university educated, aren't you? Kevin Burke: You're probably right, but then, that's me, I'm afraid I'm not particularly proud of the fact but, there you are Yes, I did mathematical science as my degree subject I've always loved words, adored English at school, but was drawn 7 inexorably towards numbers and I loved every minute of it But the trouble with maths at university level is it attracts some incredibly clever, focussed people, which doesn't exactly make for a fun social life That's how I came to join the debating society, and that kind of got me noticed because I have a way with words as well as with numbers And before knew it I was writing for the university newspaper as well, doing orientation meetings for new students - I loved anything with an audience, you see, I couldn't help myself Interviewer: So that was the beginning of your career as an entertainer really Kevin Burke: Well, sort of After graduation, I began working for a local newspaper, writing a weekly column that was seven hundred words of whimsical nonsense It was fun, but I wasn't set on journalism, so I started dabbling in stand-up comedy just testing the water in various clubs at first I hustled and gigged wherever possible, gradually building up my act, and always on the look out for the next opening Then, one day I landed a TV spot in Ireland, hosting a children's programme From there, I kind of hopscotched over to comedy Interviewer: Is that the way to it, then? Kevin Burke: Yes, once your name's known, you get asked to a few different kinds of programmes, which I did After that, doors start opening up, in all directions, you learn what to accept and what to avoid I once did a quiz show and it was disastrous, I won't be doing that again, but it was useful experience at the time But TV feels comfortable for me and I'm happy to go along with most of whatever comes along But I'm definitely happiest when I am on stage It's certainly where I think I'm best, and TV can't capture that somehow, although the TV work is just as challenging in its own way Interviewer: How you account for your success on stage, then? Kevin Burke: The game of comedy's all about owning the stage, and from a physical point of view, it's beneficial that I'm a larger man From my lumbering presence alone, I can't really help but dominate the stage People think I'm older than I am actually, which also helps - people feel uncomfortable if comedians look too young or vulnerable I've always looked like everybody's dad When I was nine, looked eleven, and so on Once, I based an entire show on me looking older than I was I asked the 8 audience to guess my age: the average turned out to be 37 I was 29 at the time Sad, eh? But as someone who applies scientific logic to much in my life, I've come to see the positive side of that too! Interviewer: Kevin, there we must leave it Thanks for being with us today Part https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixHzHhM3qDE Interviewer: uh Albert, thanks for being with us this morning you know talking about this idea that more people could become eligible to get a vaccine that just puts more pressure on you and Moderna to manufacture these doses tell us about how the manufacturing is going and your confidence in being able to keep up a steady pace Albert Bourla: thank you very much meg first of all let me say that uh if this is true what we are hearing it is very positive I think this is exactly what needs to be done and I think so far I don't think that we have an issue of offering less vaccines than the country or the countries frankly need we have much more than they can use right now so I think the main bottleneck right now is to make sure that we ramp up alterations so that you can administer more vaccines when it comes to our ability to manufacture yesterday our partner already announced what I'm going to announce also myself today that we feel now very confident that we will increase dramatically our production for this year up to billion doses and to feel comfortable that we will be able to deliver that that was the result of multiple steps that we took but this is where we are right now so I feel very comfortable with the contacts that we have with the us government we will be able to deliver on schedule Interviewer: Well you just mentioned you you have more vaccines than are being used right now and and that's just sort of mind-boggling because we thought it was going to be the opposite problem that everybody's going to be pounding down the door and there wouldn't be enough supply what can you tell us about how much you've already made that you have sitting there ready to go um once the the gates are opened and we understand that the um policy change today could also include uh releasing some of the doses that are being held for a second dose Albert Bourla: Yeah, at the end of the last week of 2020 for example we had already manufactured more than 70 million doses and we had released from there because 9 there's a quality control that you need to release around 50 million doses then we manufacture more the first week of January right now I think we have released 33 million doses and we have let's say half of what we have manufactured is sitting on the on the shelves here Interviewer: It sounds like from your increased forecast for how much you can make this year now up to billion doses in 2021 that's up from 1.3 billion we understand some of that is because this fortuitous um finding that there's an extra dose in those five dose files that accounts for 20 of that but it also means that your manufacturing seems to be going better than you expected so should we be expecting an increased pace really of output from you on a steady drum beat throughout the year Albert Bourla: oh yes this is what I'm uh I'm very confident that this will happen much higher than what we had forecasted before and to the tune of going from one three to two billion dollars the twenty percent increase because we could have six doses in the vial was the result of data but also what we generated and we submitted to all regulatory authorities and right now the six doses have been approved by FDA the European authorities, the Israeli authorities, Switzerland authorities you name it so basically the entire world is using now six doses but also we have done tremendous steps to improve production of lipids by our third-party manufacturers our production of the drug substance in our manufacturing sites we did a lot of things actually I have to say that what our manufacturing team did was almost another miracle following what our research team did to bring this vaccine in such record time they are scaling up manufacturing in speeds that we didn't think that were possible so they are also making the impossible possible 10 10 ... I assume you made a purchase from them? Consumer: Yes, that's right, on the third of February 2 011 Officer: And did the goods have any sort of guarantee or warranty? Yes, but only for six months
