On this episode of TFTB we pay the price for sleeping through the alarms and missing our studio time. Although, it has been suggested that we may have experienced ‘lost time’ and may find an unexpected result in a future x-ray. Until then, we’ve selected a few of our favourite interview moments for your enjoyment.
