Maybe some of you remember the film Moulin Rouge? In the 19th century, the nightclub was very famous for its beautiful dancers and singers. Toulouse Lautrec did a lot of paintings and posters of the Moulin Rouge. He especially loved painting the dancers. And in these paintings he sometimes included his friends too. In the middle of the picture there are five people who are sitting at a table having a drink. He was a photographer. Her face looks very white.

At the back of the picture, on the right, there are two women who are standing together. One of them is touching her hair.

Now this is very interesting. If you look carefully to the left of the two women, there are two men walking out of the nightclub. One of them is very tall and the other one is very short. Toulouse Lautrec was only 1 metre 50 centimetres tall. Some people think that this is why he loved painting the dancers of the Moulin Rouge And our first contestant tonight is Adam. Hello Adam.

Last month I went to England on a work trip, and I met Allie. We had a great five days. We went out for coffee. We went shopping. It was my birthday, and she bought me a present. We went out for dinner. I really liked her, and I think she liked me too.

Our first caller today is Sean from Belfast. Hi Sean. Sean Hello. Presenter So where was this holiday? Presenter Where did they go? Sean To Ibiza. Presenter A fantastic place for a holiday.

Presenter Oh… Sean And they wanted a quiet holiday, a relaxing holiday — you know. They like walking in the countryside, sitting on quiet beaches — things like that.

Presenter So why did they choose Ibiza? You see, they first went to Ibiza in the late sixties, when it was a beautiful, peaceful island with traditional cafes and restaurants, deserted beaches.

And this was exactly what they wanted. And they found some cheap flights. It all seemed so perfect. Presenter So what happened? Sean You can imagine. It was a complete disaster. There was music until 5. They were too tired to do anything during the day. When they came home they were in a state of shock. Presenter Oh dear — What are their plans for this year? And now… 2. One day I was working in the cafe when the man from the bookshop next door came in.

He was holding a new book which had a photo on the cover. When the man took that photo we were arguing! Henri was standing very near me.

We were arguing. Or I think maybe we were arguing about our wedding — we got married a few months after the man took the photo. Marinette People who know this photo always think of us as the eternal lovers, like Romeo and Juliet.

Ah, those were the days… 2. A policewoman knocked at the door. Can I come in? Is he He was crossing the road in the High Street. Every police officer in the town is looking for her.
