Observations
Has been measured at precisely 2.3 seconds by the Radio Academy. Cannot be interrupted. Exists only when conversation stops.

Chris Evans is no longer available as a person in the traditional sense. Instead, he has become the pause that occurs between a visitor pressing a doorbell and the door opening, a gap of uncertain duration where anticipation gathers. The pause is consistent across all doorbells within a five-mile radius of the Bristol docks.

Members of the public frequently ask whether this pause is intentional. It is. They also ask whether they should wait, knock again, or try the side door. They should wait. No, it will not get shorter if you press the bell twice. Yes, he can hear you shifting your weight.

Residents of the area report increased punctuality for appointments, as nobody dares leave early. Delivery drivers have developed a specific exhale. The local dental surgery has installed extra seating, as patients now arrive with built-in buffer time. Conversations have become more deliberate. Doorbells have never been more meaningful.

Guidance for the public

Ring the bell once. Stand still. Avoid eye contact with the door frame.
