It's CHRIIISTMAASSS! For our last full episode of the year, I dive into a festive special of a great sketch show from the 90s called Goodness Gracious Me, explore British covers of my favourite carol, O Holy Night, and share some more festive emergency question responses about nativities and chocolates!

In my first November episode of Merry Britsmas, we have more festive questions to answer about food and drunken mistakes, a Christmas comedic special about a big comedian called Greg Davies, and a song that links to armistice day by a pretty famous Liverpudlian called Paul McCartney!

It's Merry Spooksmas! Which means Halloween vibes and horrors, such as a creepy tale of murder mystery from Jonathan Creek, some gothic horror songs, and creepy ghostly stories from the historic town of Rye!

On our first October episode of Merry Britsmas this year, we get a little bit spooky but still quite festive. I watch a recent kids show about monsters called Scream Street, force myself to listen to comedic British Xmas songs, and ask and answer some more Emergency Festive Questions, this time with a spooky twist!

In my 66th episode and the first Ber month episode of 2024, I go back to the 1960s to listen to some older British Christmas songs that people may not know, watch an old show about Scottish doctors with some festive storytelling, and go back to the Emergency Festive Questions book to answer and ask some more odd queries such as why is Rudolph's nose red?

It's Christmas in July! So it's time for some summery xmas things on Merry Britsmas including some (incredibly vaguely linked) festive songs about sun and summer, as well as a look at Death In Paradise, a show about crime, the Caribbean, and, in this episode, Christmas. I also ask and answer some more festive questions and hope you will answer them too!

In the Leon Day episode, with only six months until Xmas, I take a look at a sketch show spin-off about a home-made Christmas from Smith & Jones, learn my A-B-Cs with Xmas Alphabet, and start looking at some Xmas questions for all of us to answer!
