while I'm collecting up the bits I need for the trip the Man is on the phone to his father, they are both deaf so the conversation is being held at top volume, I can hear both sides clearly. The Man is talking about a programme he's working on called 'Amazing Earth' but the father can't quite grasp the title. The Man breaks it down, bellowing the words slowly
It's called AMAZING EARTH ... 'amazing' ... like really fantastic and ...'Earth' ... like where we all live
the dad reckons he's got it and bellows back appreciatively
'Fantastic House', Oh yes that's a great title, I hope it all goes well... bye

I would have picked up Amazon Eartha and thought it was something to do with Eartha Kitt.
