Total Christmas Podcast

Merry Christmas you beautiful people! We start the show with this episode's version of A Christmas Carol. It's an episode of the Disney cartoon series 101 Dalmatians called A Christmas Cruella. If you want, you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njxjk4CosPM&t=1290s Then Bob Baker looks at what us Brits mean by a 'flannel' in Do You Hear What I Hear. After that it's The Christmas Quiz. I only scored 6 this week, let me know if you managed any better Next up Bob is back with Where Are You Christmas, and it turns out it's hiding in Canada. Check out Bob's podcast here:  https://4fpodcast.buzzsprout.com/ In the quiz in the last episode we had a question about how many doors there are in an advent calendar and Scott Newman, our US correspondent, has done a bit of research on the subject. I have as well, and we look at a few Guinness World Records involving advent calendars. This episode's recommendation is Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer: Gone Fishing.  It's a lovely show, and you don't have to be interested in fishing to enjoy it. They've also got some nice Christmas specials (that weren't filmed anywhere near Christmas). It's on the BBC iplayer, but it's on other streaming sites as well, so check it out.

Hello you beautiful people! We start the show with a Christmas Not So Classic. The Pet Shop Boys were massive in the 80s and still going strong in the 90s. In 1995 they recorded a Christmas song just for their fanclub members. It's call It Doesn't Often Snow At Christmas, and it's okay I suppose. Have a listen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBj8VehCeLE Then it's Where Are You Christmas? and Bob Baker tells us about a couple of places in Japan that celebrate Christmas all year long. Next up is The Christmas Quiz, make sure to email me with your score. Then Bob is back with Do Year Hear What I Hear and he's looking at what us Brits mean by the word 'Yonks'. Check out Bob's podcast here:  https://4fpodcast.buzzsprout.com/ This episode I don't have a version of A Christmas Carol, I'm looking at Mr Krueger's Christmas. An interesting short film from 1980 starring Jimmy Stewart. Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oonebld1IoE This episode's recommendation is my 2 daughters' podcast; I'm Not Complaining with Robin & Juno. They're just about to release their 200th episode so please send a message through so they can play it on their show.

Hello you beautiful people! We start the show with Christmas All Over The World and we take a look at the Yorkshire tradition of The Old Hoss. A bunch of people go round the pubs and one of them is dressed as a horse and they sing a poem...  and I'm not making it up. Next up Bob Baker has a look at what us Brits call 'taps' and those Yanks call 'faucets' in Do You Hear What I Hear. After the joke it's this episodes version of A Christmas Carol.  It's called Ebbie and it's a modern day (90s) take with a female Scrooge. It's actually alright. You can watch it here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTRm5gX6CXs Then Bob is back with Where Are You Christmas? and he looks at some places here in the UK that (to my shame) I wasn't aware of. Check out Bob's podcast here:  https://4fpodcast.buzzsprout.com/ Then it's The Quiz. I scored 8, make sure to email me with your score. This episode's recommendation is It's A Fair Cop with Alfie Moore. It's my latest favourite thing.
