Brunch With The Brits

This week we ask a question. Did Soams get a divorce? As we journey further in to the early Edwardian period with the Forsytes we also have a Hancock fable of sorts and we learn about bobbies. Plus stuff's about to change at the bWTB studios enjoy.

First off who is Andre? You'll learn as we finally dig in to series 2 of Hancock. The lad is off to help Sid James set up his holiday camp and even though Moira is absent I think you'll like Andrea and Bill as always and of course loveable Tony. Wondering about the delay in this show? wWatch facebook and be listening for a special show featuring myself and Producer Director Maria. Enjoy

If you knew what we've been through and most of you will ... soon you'll understand the delay. Never mind the projects at work which also have been keeping me busy. Anyhow enjoy this long expected treat.

This week we hope you will reaally take the time to answer one question. Do you like Soams Forsyte? Is he a man to be pittied and hated? We also have Sceptred Isle as we look at Lord Liverpool and the transition from George III to George IV enjoy.

This week Sceptred Isle returns with the death of george III plus more from your new favorite family. Remember it's a long sweeping story and you may want a re look at episode 1 last week. Enjoy.

This week we concentrate on the Forsight's take the time to get to know them and welcome to Season 8

As we close out 2014, I thought it'd be kind of fun to introduce or re introduce you to my love of early science fiction. So we look at Verne's Journey To The Center of the Earth. It's a wonderful story and well dramatized from december 9 of 1995. Enjoy

However don't let the title fool you as we delve deep in to archives to bring you an exciting version of "A Christmas Carol," with Ralph Richardson as narrator and Scrooge. It's basically Sir Ralph and a few cast members given some lines and when you listen to mid sixties BBC drama you note the differences. Gone is the enhanced sound so they used the literature. Enjoy. We'll also start the show by remembering the amazing Christmas of the Trenches of 1914 and we conclude with another ghost story the Shepherd. On behalf of Maria and Sophie the Dog I'd like to wish you all the happiest of Christmasses and we'll conclude Season 7 next week with a drama of epic proportion. Enjoy

How many of you have been home for the holidays ... and not told your parents the whole truth about your well being? This week two selections which explore just that. We first look at Christmas Decorations a short story and conclude with The Holly And The Ivy starring Stephen Murray from September 11 1971. Finally the host will talk about his first Christmas home froom college. You will enjoy this episode imensely.

If you've been a listener to this podcast you know how much we look forward to our yearly chat with audio drama actor radio presenter and now recently retired John Lingard from Lincolnshire in the United Kingdom. John has read us books presented original programs on the history of British broadcasting and come up with lots of filler and intro matterial for this humble podcast. So it's a pleasure at this time of holidaay reflection to welcome him back. This time skype worked. So well in fact we're considering more pannel discussions. We hope you enjoy our conversation as we tackle the privatization of trains Black Friday, is pub life changing? Does Prince George have playmates? and the excitement of the upcoming National Association of broadcasters convention in Vegas plus New Media Expo. Thanks again John for your work in this project. We'll conclude with some genuine laughter as only Jerome K Jerome can dish it out with After Supper Ghost stories. A good long brunch so why not fill a glass of your favvorite beverage and join us.
