It's our last episode of the year! There's a lot of Mel trying to make Gabby stop telling her about the plotline of 'That Christmas', a love-fest about Richard Curtis movies, the translation of Irish/Northern Irish cult movies and TV shows and how we can't stop eating Christmas Crack.

Merry Christmas to you, dear listeners! Feliz Navidad to you and yours!
