We get into Paul Williams’s muttonchops and rouge cheeks! There’s an evil oil tycoon and an ‘80s robot, too! It’s bonkers but charming! So grab your dynamite, load up your sled, and enjoy this classic(?) to start your season right!

Hooray, it’s December and it really is Christmas and it’s another packed show.
First up Ed Daley reads another part from his book. This time he explains how a clerical error led to It’s A Wonderful Life becoming one of the most popular Christmas films of all time.
If you want to read more, check out his book:
Next up we have the story of the worst Christmas present that Kevin Church ever received, turns out, if he’d received it a year earlier it may have been one of the best.
Then we chat to Aurelio O’Brien author of Family Trees. It’s a great book that I thoroughly enjoyed. If you’d like to pick up a copy, here’s a link:
Then it’s the 2nd part of our chat with Scott & Jay from the Jingle Jank Podcast. We listen to 3 more songs, if you want a listen, here’s some links:
One More Sleep by Leona Lewis
The Power of Love by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Driving Home For Christmas by Chris Rea

Then the girls are back again for Robin Sings and they have another stab at Last Christmas.
It’s been a few episodes but once again we look at another version of A Christmas Carol. This one is the fantastic new Aldi Christmas advert. It’s only 1 minute 20 seconds but they pack a lot in.
Then we have a new segment, each week we’ll be playing a song from Adam Kennedy and his Creative Commonaires, Their songs are very funny and the album is called Literally Shrunk Down and Living in my Christmas Village. Have a listen to the whole album here:

Our Top Ten Christmas Movie Lists come from Ed Daley and Adam Parker from the Merry Britsmas Podcast. Where will they feature on our leader board?
Then we have another Yule Log. Why not spend an hour watching Joe Pesci get his scalp burned off with a flamethrower while crackling sounds and Christmas music play in the background.
This episode’s recommendation is for you to share the podcast. It’s actually Christmas now, so you won’t seem like a weirdo when you tell your friends to listen to the show and it would mean a lot to me and the team (there is no team).

“This is supposed to be a happy time. This isn’t happy”
In our first editorial episode, rather then doing a deep dive, we’ll be looking into my general thoughts and opinions on whatever I want. Today I’d thought we’d start with a nostalgic classic, Doug. Both the Nickelodeon and the Disney versions had their own Christmas specials, one better then the other. It’s not what you’d think.
One’s a total downer and the other is… certainly better.

In this episode, Eric and Danny begin to count down each of their top 10 favorite modern Christmas songs. The guys chat about why they picked each song, then share a clip from each of their picks, from 10 down to 6.
