Episode 121 - A Quiz, A Carol, A Gift, A Book... the lot.

This show has it all.
Well, it has some stuff.

First up it's The Quiz, see if you can beat my score of 8.

Then Bob Baker explains the difference between University and College in Do You Hear What I Hear.

We've been sent another Worst Present Ever from Rob Taylor, and this one is a Festive Bounty.

After that, listener Benjamin Hall has sent us a definitive top 5 of the all time greatest US Christmas adverts.  If you disagree you're welcome to send me your top 5.

This episode we have another giveaway.  If you'd like to win a copy of The Unofficial Elf Cookbook by Bryton Taylor, all you have to do is email me 'Let's 'ave it', and it could be yours.

Then, thanks to a question in The Quiz, we look at who Kerstman is.  It's an interesting one.

It seems that in The Quiz last episode, Martin Goodman was the only listener who knew Showaddywaddy sung Hey Mr Christmas, well this episode we have a listen to it.

Then Bob Baker is back with Spread a Smile of Joy, and he looks at giving thanks as a way to spread the love.
Check out Bob's pod, Festive Foreign Film Fans, it's great:

This episode's version of A Christmas Carol is a Rude Retelling by Brian Harvey of East 17 fame.  It's not for the sensitive, but it's a bit of fun if you don't mind swearing.

This episode's recommendation is a British sitcom called Miranda.  Me and the wife have just rewatched all 20 episodes and I think you'll enjoy it.
Not sure if it's streaming where you live, but here's a link:
