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:

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.

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:

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'.

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.

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.
