1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
My name is Harry Baker.
Harry Baker is my name.

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
If your name was Harry Baker,
then our names would be the same.

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It's a short introductory part.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Yeah, I'm Harry.

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I study math. I write poetry.

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So I thought I'd start
with a love poem about prime numbers.

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is called "59."

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I was going to call it
"Prime Time Loving."

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That reaction is why I didn't.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(Laughter)

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, "59."

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
59 wakes up
on the wrong side of the bed,

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Realises all of his hair is on
one side of his head,

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Takes – just under a minute – to work out
it’s because of the way that he slept,


17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He finds some clothes and gets dressed.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He can’t help but look in the mirror
and be subtly impressed

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
How he looks rough around the edges
and yet casually messed,

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and as he glances out the windows,
he sees the sight that he gets blessed

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
with a 60 from across the street.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Now 60 was beautiful,

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
With perfectly trimmed cuticles,
Dressed in something suitable,

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Never rude or crude at all.
Unimprovable,

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Right on time as usual,
More on cue than a snooker ball

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But liked to play it super cool.


27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
59 wanted to tell her
that he knew her favourite flower,

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He thought of her every second
every minute every hour,

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But he knew it wouldn’t work,
he’d never get the girl,

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Because although she lived across the street 
they came from different worlds.

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
While 59 admired 60’s
‘perfectly round’ figure,

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
60 thought 59 was… odd.

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
One of his favourite films
was 101 Dalmatians,

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She preferred the sequel.

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He romanticised the idea
they were star-crossed lovers,

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
They could go against the odds
and evens because they had each other,

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
While she maintained the strict views
imposed upon her by her mother

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That separate could not be equal.

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And though at the time he felt
stupid and dumb

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
For trying to love a girl controlled
by her stupid mum,

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He should have been comforted
by the simple sum –

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Take 59 away from 60,
and you’re left with the one.

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Sure enough it took him 2 months
of moping around,

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But 61 days later,
61 was who he found,

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
His next-door neighbour,
he went round to her house,

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Because he had lost his keys again
and his parents were out.


47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
As he noticed the slightly wonky
numbers on the door,

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He wondered why he’d never
introduced himself before,

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
As she politely let him in
his jaw dropped in awe –

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
61 was like 60, with a little bit more.
(Laughter)

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She had prettier eyes,
and an approachable smile,

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And like him, rough-around-the-edges casual style,

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And like him, everything
was in disorganise piles,

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And like him, her mum didn’t mind
if friends stayed a while.

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Because she was like him, and he liked her.

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
He reckoned she would like me
if she knew he was like her,

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And it was different this time.
I mean, this girl was wicked,

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So he plucked up the courage
and asked for her digits.


59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She said, "I'm 61."
He grinned, said, "I'm 59."

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Today I’ve had a really nice time,

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So tomorrow if you wanted
you could come over to mine?

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She said, "Sure."

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She loved talking to someone
who was just as quirky,

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
She agreed to this unofficial first date.

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In the end he was only
ready one minute early,

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
But it didn’t matter because
she arrived one minute late.

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And from that moment on
there was non-stop chatter,
