Brunch With The Brits

In this episode we look at our second Fourth Of July extravaganza with programs with a truly American theme. Well some of them at any rate. We start by finishing Peter Pan. And if Disney's is the only one you're familiar with you're in for a treat with the rreal thing. Then we conclude the first season of The Navy Lark and end with a walk down L.A.'s mean streets and yes friends this was recorded in England with Philip Marlowe and the Raymond cChandler classic "The High Window." Also check out the blooper at the end and just what does Doctor Who have to do with our state of the states festivities? Our pannel is coming soon so stay tuned.

In this episode we continue our countdown to the Friends of The Magic Meet at Disneyland later in July. But we also look back. Oh yes there's Peter Pan and "The Navy Lark," but our second hour is dedicated to the late Michel Jackson. This isn't a King Of Pop weekend filled with phone calls and songs heard over and over again but rather a Radio 2 docmentary called "Michael Jackson's Masterpiece." It discusses Thriller and what Thriller meant and symbolized. If this is your first time listening because you've just discovered us then I hope you come back when we return to normal. But for my loyal fans this hopefully will not disappoint. Remember you can email [email protected] or call 206-338-5879. Please enjoy.

In this episode we continue our fotm countdown with more from "The Wind In The Willows," and "Peter Pan." But first a look at "The Navy Lark." With "The Navy Lark," we learn what happens when a film crew wants to film our island draft. aAfter that we continue Peter Pan and a special birthday wish for Scott Mortis. After that we'll finish Mr. Toad. Please enjoy and don't forget our pannel this week. Phone us at 206-338-5879. Enjoy and [email protected] is your email

When doing a show of this type it's always a pleasure to get thrown a challenge. We've met it this week with gusto. We'll be looking at wWind In The Willows and Peter Pan plus you'll hear shadow memmories of my first trip to Disneyland. I hope you enjoy the two dramas plus the Navy Lark and if you want to listen to Cruising the Classics it's on Thursday night live at http://www.radiooutofthepast.org so enjoy. We start that at 9 Eastern and yo'll get the teaser at the end of th program.

This is Brunch 71. First off lots of voice mail and email this week and all pro on The Avengers. That makes me feel good. Anyhow this week we have a history of sorts. It's Called "For One Night Illegally," and it traces the evolution of bootlegged recording. Anyone who remembers Springstein's famous line "Bootleggers roll your tapes." will love this show. Dixon ends its first run with us this week with George dealing with a gun toting soldier without Andy. And our boys in the Navy take a psychology test. Nothng unusal there but these are our boys. Next week we begin "When Disney Had Brunch," a four part look at original work that Disney adapted. Enjoy and don't forget to email [email protected] with thoughts or suggestions and also call 206-338-5879 and being in California I had to get this in. Lakers in 6

It's hard to believe that a little show started among a few friends with a passion for BBC radio has blossomed in to 70 episodes. And this week Brunch brings you music, commedy and police drama. I'd like to say that if you like Pink Floyd you'll love this show ... if you're a casual observer of the band you'll like this show and if you love the band and its psychedelic sound this will go in to your ipod along with your Dark Side of the Moon album. But we can't flood you with Floyd without taking a cruise on the HMS Troutbridge or learn from Officer Dixon about rowdy Spurs fans so ... say when ... and get ready to enjoy Brunch With The Brits.

Sadly this week two shows end. Hitchhikers goes on hiatus after the second series ends. Meanwhile in Portsmouth we look at "The Gun Mechanism Test." With Dixon we learn how a baby was named after Dixon and we sadly say goodbye to Bob Hope.

Just how did Arthur Dent wind up among archaeologists? wWhat happened when a drunken night in Portsmouth went crazy?? Why were so many servicemen drawn to Bob Hope's humor? And how did PC Crawford make his first arrest? All to be answered this week. I am attending fotm in July at Disneyland. We're working on a Brunch meet and setting ourselves up on the fotm page. If you're coming let me know.

Just what happens when Arthur Dent gets captured by a bunch of birds? Also who is Heather's Hank? What was it like to write for Bob Hope? Oh and Whose Line is it Anyway? All this week at Brunch. Enjoy.

In this episode we begin with our Galactic hitchhike. Just what do aliens think of British tea? Feel free to share and enjoy. Meanwhile an admiral is throwing a party at Portsmouth and Price and Philips are there but so is the Chief. At Whose Line John Bird and Jimmy Mullville join John Sessions and Steven Fry and Bob Hope continues to amaze as we leave New York for Los Angeles and Palm Springs. Btw Friends of The Magic is in July and we're preparing a pannel disscussion about two British authors and Disney. Want to help? Email [email protected] with"Pannel in the subject line. And if you want to see me play in the Disney Feud email [email protected] and tell him that while Brunch is not a Disney podcast we're celebrating Friends of the Magic the only way the BBC knows how. Enjoy.
