In this episode of the Anglotopia Podcast, host Jonathan Thomas and British TV expert Tom Salinsky delve into the rich tradition of British Christmas television specials. They explore the cultural significance of these specials, the evolution of Christmas Day TV schedules, and highlight some of the most beloved and memorable Christmas episodes from shows like Wallace & Gromit, Doctor Who, Only Fools and Horses, and Gavin and Stacey. The conversation also touches on the nostalgia associated with classics like The Snowman and the impact of streaming on traditional viewing habits. Salinsky shares insights into the history of Morecambe and Wise, the role of sports in Christmas TV, and the unique approach of shows like EastEnders during the festive season. The episode concludes with a discussion on the importance of the Radio Times Christmas double issue and a promotion for Salinsky's new podcast, All British Comedy. Links AllBritishComedy.com Tom Salinsky Tom Salinsky's Red Dwarf books Radio Times Christmas Double Issue BBC Genome Project The Snowman Friends of Anglotopia Club Takeaways British Christmas television specials are a cultural institution. Christmas specials often feature nostalgia and beloved characters. The Snowman is a quintessential part of British Christmas. Only Fools and Horses Christmas specials are highly anticipated events. Gavin and Stacey's serialization contributed to its popularity. Christmas Day TV schedules have evolved over the years. The Radio Times Christmas double issue is a cherished tradition. Not all Christmas specials are successful or well-received. EastEnders often delivers dramatic and intense Christmas episodes. Streaming has changed how audiences engage with Christmas specials. Sound Bites 1. On why British Christmas TV became a tradition: "I think it was EastEnders that made the difference. In 1986, EastEnders devoted its Christmas episode to the Den and Angie storyline absolutely coming to boiling point... The viewing figures were phenomenal—something like 30 million. Half the population was watching." — Tom Salinsky 2. On the unique appeal of Christmas specials: "The difference between writing a regular episode of Doctor Who and a Christmas special is there will be non-fans watching at Christmas. The 14-year-old says, everybody has to shut up so I can watch this. And then uncle and auntie and grandma and grandpa are all in the room anyway." — Tom Salinsky 3. On nostalgia and Christmas television: "Nostalgia and Christmas, certainly for British television, seem very intertwined. It's a time when we want to hark back to the past... Even Vengeance Most Foul, which is a brand new piece of work, feels old-fashioned, has that old-fashioned charm about it." — Tom Salinsky 4. On why EastEnders goes dark at Christmas: "If what we tune in for is misery and torment and betrayal, then at Christmas it needs to be maximum misery and maximum betrayal. No one is starved of EastEnders. So when it comes around for Christmas, we just want to take that lever and throw it as far in the direction of drama as we possibly can." — Tom Salinsky 5. On the Radio Times Christmas double issue: "When I was 10, I would have read about National Velvet and that Old Curiosity Shop musical film in the Radio Times and probably opted not to circle them. We were a very middle-class household, Jonathan, so we didn't get the TV Times because that was vulgar." — Tom Salinsky 6. On discovering The Snowman: "I spent Christmas in England in 2013 and I kept hearing this haunting melody everywhere... I finally saw it and I was literally in tears when it was over. I'd never seen it before, but it just hit me. There's no words—even the book has no words—and it's an incredible story." — Jonathan Thomas 7. On the 1971 Morecambe and Wise Christmas special: "The 71 special with Andre Previn is definitely something a cut above. That is such a famous routine. They kind of stayed at the top of their game for about seven or eight years, which is hard to do." — Tom Salinsky 8. On The Office Christmas specials: "The way that The Office started out as this show which nobody really knew what it was or why it was funny... to then capturing the nation's conversation and ending up being the centerpiece of the BBC One Christmas schedule in three years is astonishing." — Tom Salinsky 9. On the first Doctor Who Christmas special: "Nobody knew whether that first series with Christopher Eccleston was going to be a success. We'd never had a Doctor Who Christmas special before. Just as Russell T. Davies had to invent how to make Doctor Who at all in 2005, he had to invent a Doctor Who Christmas special." — Tom Salinsky 10. On Christmas specials as the last appointment viewing: "We're just now used to using our television sets as jukeboxes where we select what we're going to watch. We're out of the habit of treating them like radio sets where the broadcaster determines what we are sent at what time... I think it's one of the nice things about Christmas that we just get a little bit of that communal viewing experience back again." — Tom Salinsky Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Christmas Television Specials 04:03 The Cultural Significance of British Christmas TV 09:59 Traditional British Christmas Day TV Schedule 13:22 Top British Christmas Specials 20:07 The Evolution of Doctor Who Christmas Specials 25:52 The Legacy of Morecambe and Wise 30:44 The Timeless Charm of The Snowman 33:21 Only Fools and Horses: Christmas Specials 35:18 The Enduring Appeal of Call the Midwife 36:41 Christmas Specials: A Tradition in British Sitcoms 39:01 Gavin and Stacey: The Power of Serialization 41:53 Sporting Events and Christmas TV 42:41 Christmas Specials That Missed the Mark 45:39 EastEnders: Maximum Drama at Christmas 48:17 The Future of Christmas Specials in Streaming Era 49:31 The Radio Times: A Christmas Tradition 54:20 anglotopia-podcast-outro.mp4 Video Version

The Duellists (1977) & Top 5 Jewels – honour, obsession, and very stupid men with swordsIn this episode of Bad Dads Film Review, we kick things off with our Top 5 Jewels – a glittering mix of cursed stones, crime magnets and wildly impractical accessories. From the Pink Panther diamond and Uncut Gems' black opal to Titanic's Heart of the Ocean, Baz Luhrmann's blinged-out Great Gatsby, Moana's glowing heart of Te Fiti, and even that doomed chandelier in Only Fools and Horses, we rummage through cinema's treasure box to see which jewels genuinely sparkle and which belong in Claire's Accessories.Then it's back to 1977 for Ridley Scott's stunning directorial debut, The Duellists. Harvey Keitel and Keith Carradine play two French officers locked into a 15–year feud that starts over a petty slight and escalates into a lifelong obsession. We get into:Honour as addiction – why one of them simply cannot let it go, everHow the film turns duelling into a ritual of pride, stubbornness and self-destructionThe way the weapons, stakes and scars escalate with each encounterRidley Scott's eye for light, landscape and costume on a tiny budgetWhy the ending works so well, and what it says about victory, defeat and identityThere's also the usual Bad Dads nonsense: road-trip chat, Christmas hats in December, grumbling about “live-action everything” culture, and a detour into glass onions, murder mysteries and moving house back pain.If you like:Period dramas with gorgeous visuals and nasty steel-on-steel showdownsCharacter studies about pride, masculinity and grudges that outlive their purposeMovie list chaos that jumps from Disney to French noir to jewellery-based heists…then this is a perfect episode to jump into the pod.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Brought to you by Ganong ChocolatierEpisode 75 finds James back home in New Brunswick from British Columbia, greeted by a dramatic snowfall. He visits Atlantic Indian Bistro for butter chicken curry made by the Butter Chicken Guy and watches Danny Dyer and Kiefer Sutherland's Christmas movie Tinsel Town. From security lines that feel like battlefield hospitals to planes that now function as airborne petri dishes, James takes aim at vaping, travel paranoia, passport photos, and the strange new soundtrack of air travel. The episode also weaves in life on tour in Oliver, Lake Country, Summerland and Kamloops, BC with some fantastically, uniquely Canadian encounters involving doctors and “disappointed” audiences. He spends Sunday putting up decorations and watching Only Fools and Horses, Bottom, and Garfield's Christmas movie with his brother in Vernon, BC, after handing out Ganong treats at Bulk Barn in Vernon all morning. Honest reflections follow on the concept of selling out, changing values, misunderstandings and why Alan Davies' book White Male Stand Up is one of the best books about comedy and trauma ever written. All of this plus Martin Scorsese's life, films, faith, illness, family, and endurance, with side trips through After Hours, Goodfellas, The Irishman, De Niro, Leo, and the power of music in cinema.To purchase Ganong's new Sea Salted Caramels and Peanut Butter Caramel Clusters that James can't stop raving about, please visit Shoppers Drug Mart, Sobeys, Safeway, Foodland, Canadian Tire, Atlantic Superstore, Dominion or Walmart Atlantic.

We've had a double header in both divisions since our last show but there's only discussion point on the agenda today; what about those goalscoring Lomboto brothers? They have their own God but our main talking point, naturally enough, is how the League of Ireland will cope without its sometime messiah Damien Duff, who interrupted the regular Sunday service to make a shocking exit to a Simply Red tune. We'll hear bits from his last press conference before pondering the chain of events that few saw coming - not even from the grassy knoll. It's not just a Duff show - contrary to predictions - as there's a bit of Bohs brilliance, and Alan Reynolds talking about a return from the dead over Easter that appears to be attracting a growing number of devotees. Johnny took his microphone to Inchicore to catch the thoughts of an under-pressure Stephen Kenny and also hear a few words from Derry's Tiernan Lynch and Liam Boyce. We also have pizza tales from Ballybofey, Hurley as Moleman, missed messages, the context to crazy scenes in Cork and Moses stepping out of line. Your weekly sermon of football opinions interspersed with Simpsons, Father Ted and Only Fools and Horses references comes to you in association with Rascals Brewing, Sport Cosanta, Future Ticketing & Collar & Cuff, all of whom will be back next week, but Damien won't, or will he?

This week, Gyles is joined by very special guest Sir David Jason, who talks about memories of his career: how he started out in his local theatre group in north London, and progressed through amateur dramatics, to rep, and finally to the West End and television. There are, of course, a few cameos and helping hands along the way: Brian Epstein, Humphrey Barclay, Ronnie Barker and John Sullivan, to name but a few. You'll know Sir David's television work, because it's legendary: Only Fools and Horses, Open All Hours and Touch of Frost are classics which will be watched for many years to come. But you may not know about his early work on the stage, or his humble roots as a mechanic and then an electrician, or about the impressions he did of his teacher at school, or about the crucial role Ronnie Barker played in getting his career off the ground. This is a funny and touching conversation with one of the true legends of British stage and screen. Thank you to Sir David for your time, and wonderful stories. Sir David's book, This Time Next Year, is out now in paperback, published by Penguin. This episode was recorded at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House hotel in London, thank you to them. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Talk2TheHand, we step through the magical portal of 90s television and revisit Goodnight Sweetheart, the beloved BBC sitcom that blended time travel, romance, and comedy in a way no other show quite dared. Created by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran, this unique series followed Gary Sparrow, a hapless TV repairman who stumbles upon a time portal to 1940s London. With a wife in the present and a lover in the past, Gary's double life led to plenty of laughs, heartfelt moments, and an ever-growing tangle of lies. We explore the origins of the show, its development, and what inspired Marks and Gran to craft this genre-bending sitcom. Was Goodnight Sweetheart simply a romantic comedy with a sci-fi twist, or was it a deeper reflection on nostalgia and the idea of escaping one's reality? We'll discuss how the series balanced humor with historical detail, weaving real wartime events into Gary's adventures. From the iconic theme tune to the meticulous recreation of 1940s London, the show's dedication to its premise set it apart. Of course, we can't talk about Goodnight Sweetheart without discussing Nicholas Lyndhurst's performance as Gary. Fresh off the success of Only Fools and Horses, Lyndhurst brought charm and depth to a character who, on paper, might have been difficult to root for. We'll also take a look at the supporting cast, from his long-suffering wife Yvonne to his loyal yet clueless best mate Ron, and, of course, his great love in the past, Phoebe. Each of these characters played a crucial role in making the show work, providing both comedic relief and emotional stakes. Finally, we'll reflect on the show's legacy. Though it ended in 1999, Goodnight Sweetheart remained a fan favorite, even returning for a one-off special in 2016. But did it ever get the recognition it deserved? And how does it hold up today in an era of complex, serialised TV storytelling? We'll break down the show's lasting impact and ask whether Goodnight Sweetheart could ever make a full comeback. So grab a cup of tea, tune in, and join us as we take a trip back in time with Goodnight Sweetheart—a show that proved sometimes, the past really is another country. Talk2TheHand is an independent throwback podcast run by husband and wife, Jimmy and Beth. Obsessed with 90s nostalgia and 90s celebrities, we'll rewind the years and take you back to the greatest era of our lives.   New episodes bursting with nostalgia of the 90s released on Tuesdays.

Bear with us this month, listeners, as we take a left turn down Duckett's Passage to talk about something a little different from our usual classic British horror. Nicholas Simon Lyndhurst, born April 1961, is an English actor who began his career as a child actor and is best known for his role as Rodney Trotter in the BBC sitcom Only Fools and Horses, which ran from 1981 to 2003.PART ONE: Tonight's first topic covers his role as the time-travelling bigamist Gary Sparrow in the British sitcom Goodnight Sweetheart. Created by Laurence Marks and Maurice Gran and produced by the BBC, Goodnight Sweetheart ran from 1993 to 1999, broadcasting a total of six series. The sitcom follows Gary Sparrow, an accidental time traveller living a double life through a time portal that connects 1990s London with 1940s wartime London. While the show's creators, who also made Birds of a Feather and The New Statesman, wrote most of the episodes, we chose to watch series six, episode one ("Mine's a Double") and episode five ("The 'Ouses in Between") because they had at least a tenuous link to our podcast's premise. These episodes were written by Gary Lawson and John Phelps (as a writing team) and Geoff Rowley, respectively. ‘Sweetheart featured Victor McGuire as Ron Wheatcroft, Gary's best friend in every episode of the show. McGuire is best known for playing Jack Boswell in Carla Lane's Bread. Related to our areas of interest, he appeared in an episode of Chernobyl, was a bar patron in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, played Police Officer No. 1 in 2005's Hellraiser: Hellworld, and portrayed Gerald Hardy in the 2012 Daniel Radcliffe version of The Woman in Black.Dervla Kirwan played Gary's wartime love interest and later wife, Phoebe, in the first three series before being replaced by Elizabeth Carling. Carling was briefly engaged to Neil Morrissey, whom she met while both were in the oft-mentioned Boon; she also appeared alongside him in an episode of the BBC sitcom Men Behaving Badly. After ‘Sweetheart, she released an album of wartime covers, also titled Goodnight Sweetheart. Similarly, the role of Gary's modern-day wife, Yvonne, was initially played by Michelle Holmes, who rose to prominence as Sue, one of the babysitters in Rita, Sue and Bob Too. After three seasons, she was replaced by Emma Amos, who appeared in Vera Drake, Bridget Jones's Diary, and an episode of Murder Most Horrid with Dawn French (cue Jon singing the theme tune). We've mentioned "Rear of the Year" a few times on this show, so it's worth noting that Amos was (according to Wikipedia — although Ross can't verify this) voted as having "TV's Best Legs" by readers of The Economist. PART TWO:We also listened to Channel Crossing by Rosemary Timperley. This was an episode of Haunted: Stories of the Supernatural, which ran for several years on the BBC World Service in the early 1980s and has since had a second life on Radio 4 Extra (thanks to Mysterious Magpie on YouTube for sharing some of these stories so we count listen to review it today). Rosemary Timperley was an author of over sixty novels and hundreds of short stories and feature articles, best known for her classic ghost stories The Mistress in Black and Christmas Meeting. Although primarily a mainstream writer, Timperley wrote numerous short stories that explored different aspects of the supernatural. She was well known for editing five volumes in a series of ghost story anthologies. Timperley also wrote several acclaimed radio and television scripts, and her short story Harry has been adapted to film multiple times.This episode featured Nicholas Lyndhurst as Jack, Peter Sallis as Edward, Patsy Rowlands as Frances, Gregory de Polnay as Gregory, and Sonia Fraser as Annabelle.
