Ben In The Manger
It's Christmas time, there's no need to be afraid
At Christmas time, we let in light and we banish shade
And in our world of plenty we can spread a smile of joy
Throw your arms around the world because WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE.
But before then, here's an hour of weird and wonderful Christmas tunes, jokes, dumb sketches and vaguely humourous noises designed to provide an hour of calm among the madness of ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING EVER. There's music from The Wedding Present, Eux Autres, Garry Abbott, Zombina and the Skeletones, The Plimptons, Tracey Thorn, Los Campesinos!, Tony Robinson, The Beatles and more. Plus: the lost cut of "Its A Wonderful Life", the least requested video game tie-in of all time, elephant impressions, going up the top of the Telecom Tower and the inevitable lame "A Christmas Carol" parody.
Merry Christmas. See you next year!
