    Christmas Toys
    Dec 24 2025

    We all remember and know that feeling, not being able to get to sleep the night before due to the pure excitement, the nervousness, the anticipation. Will Santa get it right? Has he listened to what you said when you met him in the shopping centre, on the train, or at the local village hall? Did he read that letter, and did Bernard (head elf), put you on the naughty or nice list? How will he get them down the chimney, and what brand of mince pies does he prefer?


    So I hope you’re all listening, tucked up in your beads, having been very good boys and girls this year, as we take the wrapper off today’s episode, will it deliver joy and lifelong memories, or will it break straight away or just not come with the batteries? Yes, today we talk about that most wonderful, acquisitional time of the year, those Christmas toys that we loved as a kid, and that we still buy for ourselves as a bigger kid! Today we look at Christmas Toys, old and new.

    Christmas Films
    Dec 13 2025

    It’s Christmaaaaaaaaaas, well nearly. Yes it’s the run up to the silly season. Whether you’re of the religious persuasion or not, it’s still a time when there might be something interesting on telly, when you might get something you want, and will probably get things you don’t, when you can go “well tacky” with the decorations and completely get away with it and when you can over-eat and over-drink because, let’s face it, the diet is in January!


    So grab that box of pretzels, the matchmakers, after eights and the Elizabeth Shaw mints, the Celebrations and the Doritos with the regrettably hot dip and slump into your chair, ready to be entertained whilst you much away in your ironically funny Christmas Jumper, even though you’ve just eaten 3 courses of unbelievably rich food, because today, we’re looking at Christmas Films:
