This week is kind of different at the brunch studios. First we listen to a big band program from 1936 as Henry Hall entertains with Christmas and other dance tunes. Then we return to our naval draft and see what happens when a sea lord comes to inspect them. Then the meat of the brunch. It's Christmas in the UK and we'll begin our own celebrations by seeing what goes on at the UK pavillion. Joining Matt for this lively festive discussion will be Scott and Tracie Morris aka the first family of Disney Indiana http://www.disneyindiana.com and Scott Viers aka the Mortis http://www.themortis.com and don't forget next week for the big 100 we'll be learning about Christmas in the UK from England.

I don't mind saying that when we end Churchill's Bodyguard this week I feel a bit emotional. A thirteen week series ... well it's a quarter of a year. The Navy Lark continues though with the episode "Johnson Finds Treasure," and then we listen to Agatha Christies Adventure of The Christmas Pudding. If you've never listened to John Moffett as Hercule then you're in for a treat. David Bales should just be finishing "The Mysterious Affair at sStyle." Enjoy and early Christmas and holiday greetings.
