Welcome to this bonus edition of Back to Now!

A small but perfectly formed bite-size extra serving of Festive Pop!

To compliment the end of year review of 2022, enjoy a collection of previous lovely guests as they revisit some memorable Christmas hits.

Or should that be December hits? Or Christmas adjacent pop?

You decide, wonderful listeners!

Indeed, in the true sense of pop memorabilia, consider this a free gift flexidisc stuck to the front cover of your double edition festive Smash Hits, back in the day - without the need to remove the sellotape and damage the cover - isn't the 21st century brilliant?

So for 20 minutes - less than the time taken to baste your turkey - enjoy some facts and memories on hits by the Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, The KLF (and Tammy!), The Housemartins, Culture Club, Girls Aloud, Sugababes, The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl and Band Aid.

Merry Christmas Back to Now listeners, have a good one and we'll see you bright and early on the other side!
