00:00I've worked on Focus actually nearly half my life.
00:02I've presented it for, you know, more than a quarter of it
00:04and there is so much about it that I will miss.
00:08Thanks.
00:08Yeah.
00:10I can still take you to the exact point I was standing
00:12when I was offered the job in 2009
00:14and I've had so many happy memories since
00:15and it's always been a real privilege to sit in this chair.
00:19I've worked alongside some amazing people.
00:21You were there from day one.
00:23Dion and many others have become really good friends as well
00:26and I will never forget that.
00:27And all those people behind the camera as well.
00:29I mean, just today we've got Carl, Russ, Jenny, Tony, Dominic, Dave
00:33and Will, our floor manager you saw there in the studio.
00:36What a pay rise now.
00:38You know, they're special people, Lauren.
00:39Special needs, some of them.
00:41Helen and Sarah are leading the team in the gallery
00:43and our vision mixer, Caroline, I think has worked on
00:46all but one programme this season.
00:48And I could go on and list everybody who works so hard every week.
00:52My Saturdays I don't think will ever be the same.
00:55You know, Focus has provided the rhythm to my week
00:57for well over a decade.
00:58I really want to wish Alex all the best in this chair.
01:01I'm sure she'll take the show to new heights.
01:03She improves everything that she ever works on.
01:06She's brilliant.
01:07And finally to, you know, all the people who've sent emails
01:09and messages and stopped for socially distanced chats
01:13over the last few weeks.
01:14It's been lovely and truly inspiring.
01:18So enjoy the Euros, have a wonderful summer
01:21and for the final time, thank you very much.
01:23Goodbye.
01:23Bye.
01:24Have a great day.
01:26Bye.
01:26Voice over.
01:26All right.
01:26Make any questions.
01:27Would you like to say thanks for each you since I've got
01:27Bye.
01:27Bye.
01:27Bye.
