More, more, more is what Ayda would like when it comes to Christmas decorations, whereas Robbie cannot shake the memory of feeding the electric meter at his nan’s house, so is happy with less. But, how many Christmas trees should one house contain? Three it seems remains the magic number, at least where one of the Williamses is concerned. As Ayda and her mother recall, frankly when you’ve grown up Christmas party-ing with Mr & Mrs Charlton Heston of Hollywood, there’s no going back to frugality.

How many Christmas trees?

Christmas is coming whether 2020 likes it or not, and Robbie and Ayda are embracing all of that, from a safe, social distance... while wearing a mask. There’s that tricky Christmas spirit to find, a narrator friend in Noddy Holder, a new festive tune to discuss, and a chance to hear from some of those who really deserve celebrating.

Frankly you never know what you’ll get when you eavesdrop on life with the Williamses, but it’s often unexpected, and always entertaining, so join us!

Christmas, however it happens, means family for Robbie and Ayda as they welcome Grampy Pete back to the podcast - complete with his (interesting) Christmas tree. The family might be scattered this year but there will still be matching PJs. Plus Robbie prods the festive song brain of his narrator Noddy Holder to hear first-hand what it’s like to have a Christmas catchphrase and why you must believe in yourself... as well as Santa.

Can't Stop Christmas: Part Two

The 2020 version of Christmas won’t be the same but Robbie and Ayda argue that there’s still plenty that’s worth celebrating! So, they head to Stoke, virtually, to hear first-hand from some of those who’ve gone above and beyond to help others this year. There’s also the matter of Robbie’s new festive single to discuss - and crucially - who came up with the idea first... which may be the first minor family argument we’ve heard this Christmas-time. Plus, there’s a new narrator in town as Noddy Holder gets in on the festivities and keeps the Christmas peace.
