This time… we are looking at heritage brands. Why are old brands popular again? Nick is drinking Slush Puppie fizzie and it's delicious (and cheap). Do you remember from the 70s orange “juice” in a packet? Andy remembers his mum throwing away things with E-numbers in as Plymouth Sound Radio told her to! With a heritage theme we talk about actors from our childhood coming back including Christopher Biggins with a podcast interviewing his friends. We look at the hefty price of ice-creams from ice-cream vans and discuss buying an ice-cream maker…. then ask why is the weather in the UK tropical? We have four seasons of weather in one day. It didn't used to be like this! Plus… Andy has weed-killer woes. Finally… we ask if we are in the wrong job… should we become the seagull scarer of Whitby? that's where the money is.

Ladies n' Genminminmin (er, min...) please welcome Actor, TV Personality, Pantomime Dame, Celebrity &  Legend, Christopher Biggins aka "The Biggins" to the show!An absolute delight & pleasure to welcome a real live "National Treasure" to the Good Listening To 'Clearing'!  Biggins (as we well know!) is a British Actor, Media Celebrity,  Compere & 'Grand Dame' of Pantomime. He officially achieved 'National Treasure' status when he won, as the Nation's favourite, "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!" in 2007.I refer to him here in this episode very affectionately as being a veritable 'sofa cushion' as Biggins has been a 'happy appendage' to all the sofas of all of our favourite TV programme that you'd care to mention over many many years - and long may that continue!Listen with glee in true pantomime style, as Biggins explains how he has managed to get 54" in the bedroom ("Oh yes he has!) with his obsession with Television. "Is that a Plasma Screen you have in your bedroom?" Erm etc... There is nothing like a Dame and in the world of pantomime, there is no Dame quite like Christopher Biggins!  He has a Lifetime Achievement Award to prove it. "Oh yes he does!"  Now in his early 70s, Christopher has been performing in pantomime for 50 years. When he first entered Dame land  in Darlington all those years ago, the ticket price was under two bob (less than 8p in today's currency). However Biggins as the star of the show was rewarded more like a professional footballer!Perhaps that's why Christopher Biggins' dream car and 'Clearing' is riding around in a Bentley Continental convertible! Indeed this podcast is conducted with Christopher Biggins in the back and with me Chris Grimes as his imaginary Chauffeur!Biggins is inspired by the wit and wisdom of the late Oscar Wilde. One particular Wilde quote springs to mind after listening to this particular conversation: “I have the simplest of tastes. I am always satisfied with the best.” Christopher Biggins has had a truly fabulous life and he appreciates it wholeheartedly. His parents made sacrifices to send him to private school where Mrs Christian's elocution lessons smoothed out his West Country burr and prepared him vocally for a travelling actor's life. Whether in Birmingham or Barbados, our Christopher has worked virtually nonstop ever since. A potential petrolhead and pyromaniac, he played Nero in "I Claudius". He played the sex-crazed Vicar in Poldark. He played Lukewarm in Porridge, with Ronnie Barker and Richard Beckinsale. In Rep, in Salisbury and in Bristol, he played umpteen different characters - that was the beauty of Repertory theatre. For London Weekend Television, Biggins was co-compère with Cilla Black in ‘Surprise! Surprise!' Over the years, he has worked with many of the greatest names in the theatre, TV and film - including Cameron Macintosh, John Gielgud, Ralph RichardsTune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

Welcome to the special Christmas episode of The Edition! Up first: What a year in politics it has been. 2022 has seen five education secretaries, four chancellors, three prime ministers and two monarchs. But there is only one political team that can make sense of it all. The Spectator's editor Fraser Nelson, deputy political editor Katy Balls and assistant editor Isabel Hardman discuss what has surely been one of the most dramatic years in British political history (01:13). Then: Christmas is a time to spare a thought for our neighbours. While in the UK we have our own hardships, families in Ukraine are facing a Christmas under siege. The Spectator's Svitlana Morenets joins the podcast alongside author Andrey Kurkov, dialling in from Lazarivka near Kiev to discuss traditions in Ukraine (16:29). Next: We have a special Christmas treat for our listeners. For our festive triple issue of the magazine, historian Tom Holland interviews the author Robert Harris about everything from eco-radicals and interpreting history, to why the monarchy is so essential. They have kindly allowed us to hear some their conversation (25:58). Also this week: In his piece for The Spectator's Christmas issue, travel writer Sean Thomas reflects on a recent cruise around the Antarctic peninsula, a trip which gave him a new answer to the question which perpetually plagues him: what is the best place you have ever been? He is joined by explorer Felicity Aston who in 2012 became the first person to ski solo across Antarctica (40:59). And finally: Pantomime dames are as synonymous with Christmas as mince pies and a Spectator Christmas issue, but what makes a truly great dame? This is the question that Robert Gore-Langton asks in our festive magazine. He is joined by pantomime legend Christopher Biggins and Martin Vander Weyer, The Spectator's business editor and amateur pantomime dame (51:52).  Throughout the podcast you will also hear from some of our favourite answers to our Christmas poll: what gives you hope? Including Robert Tombs (15:19), Mary Beard (24:58), Susan Hill (39:15) and Peter Hitchens (50:58).  Hosted by William Moore.  Produced by Oscar Edmondson.
