It’s Episode 23 and it’s great to be alive.
We start with a Story of Shame form one of the co-hosts of Jingle Jank, Jay Lachapelle, will the young ever learn that no good will come from peeking at your Christmas presents?
Hard to believe, but this is the first time we look at one of the major versions of A Christmas Carol. This is the 1984 one starring George C Scott as Scrooge and a host of British actors in the supporting roles. It’s a fantastic version and if you’ve never seen it, it’s on YouTube.
Plus there’s a very bad quiz where you have to guess if the actors from this version of A Christmas Carol ever appeared in Dr Who.
Robin and Juno sing Away In A Manger and manage to get most of the words right.

Title:
In this episode we look back to the Christmas of 1943 – a dark, unexpected, unusual and isolated Christmas that saw many separated from their families for the first time. Framed by Bing Crosby’s classic, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas”, the lessons of Christmas 1943 are learned through not only the sacrifices of those in our family past but also of those from every side who found a way for their humanity to command in a time of war.
