Merry Britsmas

It’s the big December episode of Merry Britsmas! I look at the king of Xmas’ Cliff Richard’s ‘Mistletoe & Wine’, one of my favourite raucous British shows, Bottom, more festive munching of British snacks, and I reveal the Winner of the BIG CHRISTMAS NUMBER ONE SHOWDOWN!

Hello you beautiful people.
It’s a jam packed episode filled with festive joy.

First up it’s Do You Hear What I Hear and Bob Baker talks about Father Christmas.  These days it’s just another name for Santa, but his origins are very different.

Then it’s Jack Ask and my self-appointed best friend Chris has a a question which isn’t a dilemma, but I answer it anyway.

We haven’t had a yule log for a while but we have one now.  This one is Fireplace for the Home Classic Edition on Netflix.  It’s an hour of a real fire, with a very exciting highlight.
Well worth a look.

Then it’s the quiz and to help answer the questions we have the return of Steven A McKay.  He’s written some great Christmas short stories and he has a podcast. We also play his Christmas song.
Check out his stuff here:
https://stevenamckay.com/

Then it’s another Jack Ask.  This one comes from Adam Parker from the Merry Britsmas Podcast.  Should he decorate his neighbours tree as a festive surprise?
Check out Merry Britsmas:
https://merrybritsmas.podbean.com/

Then it’s some adverts for my merch.  If you want a T-Shirt or similar with the show logo on it, you can buy one here:
https://merrybritsmas.podbean.com/

Also why not read my book.  It’s only for grown-ups but it might make you laugh:

Then we have the triumphant return of Shelli Arnold and Frank the Tank.  They give us a guided tour of their wonderful Christmas village.
I’ve posted pictures on Facebook, you really should have a gander.

This episode version of A Christmas Carol is an old time radio show from 1949. It’s an episode of Richard Diamond Private Detective and it’s alright I suppose.
Have a listen:

Then we have another song from Adam Kennedy. This one is very funny.
Check out the full album here:
https://adamkennedy.bandcamp.com/album/literally-shrunk-down-and-living-in-my-christmas-village

Then Bob is back with Christmas Everyday.
If you want to have a listen to his show Festive Foreign Film Fans, here it is:

Then Ed Daly is back to tell us the story of how he found out about Santa.
Check out Ed’s book, it’s great:

This episode I’m recommending I’m Not Complaining with Robin and Juno.
My two daughters, and possibly the world’s youngest podcasters, host a weekly show where they talk about their lives.

In the late nineteenth century modern postal systems were still coming into their own. Around the turn of the century, many countries, including England, began issuing Christmas themed postage stamps. You might think that America would have been among them, but boy would you be wrong.

In fact, America was one of the last countries to get on board. American Christmas stamps are only a few decades old. And the story there has to do with simple economics and America’s system of government.

What’s up, dudes? What’s up, dudes? I’ve got Ken Kessler from Sounds of Christmas and Scott Leopold from Holly Jolly X’masu here to dive the weird and wonderful Christmas special from Max Headroom! Yes, we get into 1986’s “Max Headroom’s Giant Christmas Turkey” and it’s hit song Merry Christmas Santa Claus (You’re A Lovely Guy)!

Matt Frewer is Max Headroom, hosting his very own Christmas special. After his monologue, Max takes a carriage ride and interviews musician and producer Dave Edmunds. The Southwark Cathedral Choir sings a lovely carol, then Bob Geldof and Max perform an acoustic duet. Max appears on two screens and sings a duet with himself then teleconferences with comedian Robin Williams. There follows an editorial segment, a stop motion Santa, and an interview with Tina Turner! Finally Max sings the full version of Merry Christmas Santa Claus (You’re A Lovely Guy).

Glitches and pitch shifts? Check. Rankin Bass-style Santa? Yup. Culturally insensitive stereotype jokes? Well, it was the ‘80s… So grab your shades, hop in a horse-drawn carriage, and hum along to this episode on “Max Headroom’s Giant Christmas Turkey!”
