It's Merry Spooksmas! Which means Halloween vibes and horrors, such as a creepy tale of murder mystery from Jonathan Creek, some gothic horror songs, and creepy ghostly stories from the historic town of Rye!

On our first October episode of Merry Britsmas this year, we get a little bit spooky but still quite festive. I watch a recent kids show about monsters called Scream Street, force myself to listen to comedic British Xmas songs, and ask and answer some more Emergency Festive Questions, this time with a spooky twist!

In my 66th episode and the first Ber month episode of 2024, I go back to the 1960s to listen to some older British Christmas songs that people may not know, watch an old show about Scottish doctors with some festive storytelling, and go back to the Emergency Festive Questions book to answer and ask some more odd queries such as why is Rudolph's nose red?

In the August episode of Merry Britsmas, I take a look at British covers of an indie classic Just Like Xmas by Low, explore a sitcom I knew nothing about called Robin's Nest, and answer some more Festive Emergency Questions, as well as reading out some of your answers from last month!

It's Christmas in July! So it's time for some summery xmas things on Merry Britsmas including some (incredibly vaguely linked) festive songs about sun and summer, as well as a look at Death In Paradise, a show about crime, the Caribbean, and, in this episode, Christmas. I also ask and answer some more festive questions and hope you will answer them too!

In the Leon Day episode, with only six months until Xmas, I take a look at a sketch show spin-off about a home-made Christmas from Smith & Jones, learn my A-B-Cs with Xmas Alphabet, and start looking at some Xmas questions for all of us to answer!

In the 62nd episode of Merry Britsmas, I talk about the ever-growing Hyde Park Winter Wonderland, force you to listen to some 'apparently' comedic novelty Christmas songs, and watch a festive episode of a sitcom about undertakers called In Loving Memory.

MERRY BIRTHDAY! April is my Birthday month so I went seeking other birthday connections, looking at two famous people with April birthdays by exploring Leona Lewis' brilliant festive album and a TV show about a very famous playwright born in April. I also explored some British celebs with Xmas Day Birthdays! Also check out more of me (if you want more...) on the Total Christmas Podcast.
