What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNetflix has released a first look at Greta Gerwig's Narnia, headed for Netflix and the big screen.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorJoining me via satellite is Ignatius Brindle, Minister of Wardrobes and Public Doors for the Lower Marrowby District. Minister, why are you here?
Ignatius BrindleHank, thank you. When I opened that door to Narnia, I knew the world would want a first look. Technically it was a smaller door.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe film is a Greta Gerwig production. You did not open a door for it, did you?
Ignatius BrindleI opened the idea of doors.
Ignatius BrindleMy brass coat hook is in the district archive, and it has been very supportive of children walking through furniture.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA coat hook.
Ignatius BrindleA very good one. Now, the endless winter in the story is a disaster, and that was entirely my predecessor's budget.
Ignatius BrindleI opened that door, but a different door.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo the wardrobe is your achievement, and the winter is someone else's fault. Is that the position?
Ignatius BrindleIt is the position of every serious minister. Good doors are mine, and stuck doors are inherited.
Ignatius BrindleI opened that door, and I mean the one in my kitchen.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLet me ask you plainly: have you ever actually walked through a wardrobe into another world?
Ignatius BrindleI have walked through a revolving door, Hank.
Ignatius BrindleEleven times in one afternoon, which I believe is a district record, and I opened that door.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorEleven times. That's a lot of going nowhere, Minister, and I've covered Congress.
