Transcript

The Rest is Entertainment is presented by Octopus Energy. Now, show business is full of people who start out as one thing, but then take on some completely new role that completely eclipses it. And before we get on to how Octopus Energy has done that, a few examples, there are people who start out in bands, as singers, as actors. A good example would be Victoria Beckham. She started off in a band, Richard. She was in a band called the Spice Girls. You're going to tell me next that David Beckham used to play football before he became an advertising guy. They have earned far more from their second careers, these businesses they've built up, than they ever did in their first ones. So the idea that she's a singer, that gets her through the door, gets her known, the culture knows who she is. She then thinks, I'm going to see if I can do something else. And she has the audience who, if she does it well, goes along with her. But do you know what it reminds me of a lot? Tell me. It reminds me of Octopus Energy, because Octopus Energy has also outgrown its own introduction. It's the UK.
