It was in fact 2m 39s. I took the precaution of recording it, because Kirsty was talking about the book at the TARS Literary Weekend (which has just finished).
It made an excellent introduction to her talk. She told us she was scheduled to go on at 8.40 for about 10 minutes, but it got delayed first by a discussion of abortion, and then because the team got carried away by admiration for Sooty and Sweep.
If anyone has been following the BBC series 'Twenty Twelve', there is an almost identical moment in episode 6.
