Then we take a look at some Christmas related Guinness World Records. How many candy canes can one man fit into his beard? You'll find out.

Next up is Do You Hear What I Hear and Bob Baker looks at why us Brits refer to the police as Bobbies.

This episode's version of A Christmas Carol is very short and is a sketch from Saturday Night Live called Scrudge. It's worth a look, so here's a link:

We also have a short What The Dickens, and I discuss the word 'hello'.

Then Bob is back with Where Are You Christmas? and this time he's found it in Texas.

In last episode's Christmas Quiz I did pretty poorly, in this episode's Christmas Quiz I did even worse. Make sure to send in your scores.

The recommendation is the film version of the book Round Ireland with a Fridge by Tony Hawks, which is the book I recommended last episode. The film isn't great, but you can watch it for free on YouTube:

Merry Christmas!

Hello you beautiful people!

We start the show with one of the worst songs of all time. Mr Blobby was the UK Christmas number 1 in 1993 and it's pretty bad.

Then Bob Baker takes us to Mora, Sweden for Where Are You Christmas?

Next up it's The Christmas Quiz. I scored a 6, make sure to email me your score.

Ever heard the term 'Taking the Mickey'? Well it's pretty common here in the UK and Bob Baker explains it all in Do You Hear What I Hear.

Then we take a look at Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas, it's truly charming and if you haven't seen it, you should.

It was cover a few years ago on the Advent Calendar Podcast, have a listen: https://adventcalendar.house/episodes/emmet-otters-jug-band-christmas

This episode's recommendation is Round Ireland with a Fridge by Tony Hawks. It's a book, an audiobook and a film, It's very entertaining so you should check it out.

Merry Christmas!

Hello you beautiful people!

We begin the episode with a Jack Ask question from listener Kevin Church, apologies because it's Valentine's Day related not Christmas.

Do you know what the word 'Dross' means? Well, although I use it frequently, I didn't, but Bob Baker explains it all in Do You Hear What I Hear.

This episode's version of A Christmas Carol is called Estrella Scrooge: A Christmas Carol with a Twist. It was made during Covid and every actor was filmed separately. It's not great, but it's not awful either.

Then Bob Baker is back with Where are you Christmas? and this time he's looking at Melbourne in Australia.

Next up my best friend (self-appointed), Chris Cavanagh, tells us his story about how he found out the truth about Santa Claus.

Then it's The Christmas Quiz and I scored 7. Last episode loads of people beat me, let's hope that doesn't happen again.

The recommendation is The Tim Vine Chat Show. It was a show on BBC Radio 4 and it's just delightful. Hopefully this link will work in your country:
