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:
