Script 1
This strange tale was one of the strangest I have ever heard in my life. Normally you’d just listen to it and think that the person had just walked out of the ‘tall story club.’ And if it weren’t for the fact that the Browning family had really existed, that there were photographs and diaries and people who actually knew them - as well as all the newspaper cuttings of course - you’d fast forget it.
Script 2
My family. I love them, but sometimes I wonder what goes on inside their heads…
My daughter. Loves the planet AND loves annoying her big brother. Ah! she’s a Hufflepuff!
My everyday hero! He does require a lot of flattery though. Definitely Gryffindor.
Ambitious. Misunderstood? Only wears black…he’s in his Slytherin phase! We’ve all been there…

About our guest:
Born and raised in Shropshire, Emma Griffiths has a degree in Illustration but decided not to pursue this as a career and worked for a number of years in graduate recruitment for Cadburys and others... so when when she decided to move into voiceover it was a huge change.
She her teeth in audiobooks but moved into more corporate and commercial work since because it suits her working style better.
Emma's worked with some big blue-chip clients including Chanel, Lego, Ferrero, Selfridges, and Audible Studios.
In her spare time she loves nature (she's a bit of a bird geek) and loves wood-walks with her Samoyed Toby. She loves great food and live comedy.

Script 1
Elizabeth's most treasured corgi was Susan, who was gifted to the Princess on her 18th birthday in 1944.
Susan quickly became Elizabeth's constant companion and loyal friend through thick and thin.
She was so attached to Susan that she insisted on taking her along on her honeymoon with Prince Philip in 1947, hiding the dog under a pile of blankets in their carriage to the station directly after the wedding.
Their bond was unbreakable, transcending even the formalities of royal protocol.

Script 1
Female version - He’s a good father. He’s better with Sarah than I am, much more patient. He’ll read her the same bedtime story over and over. And do all the voices. As if it’s the first time. Never seems to get sick of it. It’s nice to see him like that, happy and comfortable like that. He’s a good dad. He can do no wrong in her eyes. A good husband too, I suppose. Maybe I’m being silly.
You wouldn’t think you could hate the sound of running water, would you? Maybe it’s me has the problem. Dr, I’m afraid of the sound of running water. Everyone’s afraid of something aren’t they?
Male version - She’s a good mum. She’s better with Sarah than I am, much more patient. She’ll read her the same bedtime story over and over. And do all the voices. As if it’s the first time. Never seems to get sick of it. It’s nice to see her like that, happy and comfortable like that. She’s a good mum. She can do no wrong in her eyes. A good wife too, I suppose. Maybe I’m being silly.
You wouldn’t think you could hate the sound of running water, would you? (laughs) Maybe it’s me has the problem. Dr, I’m afraid of the sound of running water. Everyone’s afraid of something aren’t they?
