Brunch With The Brits

This week iit runs just undder two hhours.  After our amazing tribute to Hammer films last week, we start with tthe Navy Lark and wonder what happens when Captain Povy takes over.  Then we learn about Copernicus then it's back to Navy Lark and independence for Kowowa and we end with Rumpole considering retirement.  Enjoy.

Where do vampires go when they're no longer welcome in Transylvania?  You'll find out if you have the courage to get through our normal offerings.  You see to get through the eppisode to reach our terrors, you must first deal with two episodes of Navy Lark.  We'll first see what Toddhunter Brown is up to helping with the independence of the friendly Kawawan nation, then hear what happens when CPO Pertwy is finally discharged.  Frightening right?  In the midst of that we learn about Mathmatics of the sky and the poetry of Omar Kyam.  Then come with us to India and see where the old count has found himself.  This is a nice companion to our Hammer chat I did with Fred Castaneda of podcast reporter fame.  Enjoy.  It's a long one this week.  

This week we go back if you will and relisten to some Navy Larks where the sound the first time was not the easiest to digest.  We follow that with a look at Ptolomey and conclude with Rumpole and The Discourse of Love.  Enjoy.

We are finally caught up.  This week we'll be dealing with two more episodes of Navy Lark, we'll learn about Greek mathematicians and philosophers and their study of astronomy and Rumpole will deal with an expert witness.  Fun stuff it's here please enjoy.

This week we have the usual suspects.  No coach tour stories.  We begin with the concluding episode of the sixth series of I'm jSorry I'll Read That Again and look at the history of the cinema.  Follow that with a look at the three wise men the crew of HMS Troutbridge meet their new captain and Rumpole has an identity crissis on his hands.  Enjoy.

This week, we  begin with I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and a tale of medival England never mind the fact it features Lady Constance.  Then it's off to the skies again as we look at the chinese view of astronomy.  In Navy Lark Troutbridge is dredging the harbor and we end with Rumpole And The Fascisgt beast.

This week, two coach stories crossed our desk, which we had to share.  The first is from John Lingard, the second from John H Smith of Derbyshire.  Both are quite good and are well deserving of air time.  We begin our regular offerings, with I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and a tribute from the roaring twenties from 1968 then we learn about stories from the sky in our cosmic quest.  On Troutbridge there's a redundancy drive from October of 1968 and we end with Rumpole and the Show Folk.  Plenty to enjoy so why not settle back whether you're in hot burning California like I am or whether your climes are beginningg a more autumnal routine?  Email us at brunchwiththebrits@gmail.com and as alwaays please enjoy.

This week we learn of Robinson Prunestone, find out how Rumpole defends Guthrie Featherstone learn of cathedrals of the cosmos and we're back in Portsmouth with a right light up as Navy Lark begins series 10.  Enjoy.

This week we stawrt a new documentary.  After the dryness of Africa, we begin a cosmic quest of sorts.  I hope you enjoy it.  But we start by sadly concluding the Embassy Lark with The Freeze.  We also have the prunes take on Macbeth and we conclude with Rumpole and The Man Of God.  Enjoy.

Bad tour coach stories have not come in yet but you'll hear my best and worst to get this string of tales off the ground.  We also have regular brunch including Embassy Lark, in which the staff take a day off due to Tratvian flu, we conclude the Lost Kingdoms Of Africa series with a trip to West Africa, the prunes teach us of bow legs and Rumpole shows us a bad apple.  Plenty to enntertain so why not give us a listen?  Enjoy.

Ok you want involvement?  You got it.  At the hour and fifty eight minute mark of the podcast this week I ask you to tell me your worst coach stories.  This is because this week on I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again during Operation Chocolate we listen to John Klese's tour guide impression which he made famous on Flying Circus.  So bring forth your worst and PDM says your best tour coach stories from anywhere in the world.  email brunchwiththebrits@gmail.com or send audio to producerdirectormaria@gmail.com and next week I'll tell you my worst.  With Rumpole we learn of the Gentle Art of Blackmail on Embassy Lark it's an every day story bring on the archery and with our Lost Kingdoms of Africa it's off to Greaat Zimbabwe.  Please enjoy and sorry pardon for the tardiness.

This week the british embassy in Tratvia leaarns what it means to do it yourself.  Plus it is off to the ancient kingdom of Ethiopa.  Our Rumpole case this week involves the dearly departed and as always we ahave our prunes.  Enjoy.  

This week we begin to disect the lost kingdoms of Africa with a look at Nubia.  We also learn how Mr. Pettigrew joined the foreign office and those loveable prunes take us to ten thousand BC.  But most importantly we meet Horace Rumpole and she who must be obeyed as we listen to Rumpole and the Confession Of Guilt.  Dedicated to Fred Bertelsen who would have had a birthday this week.  Enjoy.

This week Sir Jeremy seems to have difficulty planning a party.  Also we'll conclude our mocumentary as Podmore preps for the summer ashes.  The prunes deal with making fun of Victorian melodrama and our play deals with a matter near and dear to my heart as the heroine has cerebral palsy.  Please enjoy.  Also major teasers for nexgt time.

This week, it's off to hte highlands of England's friendly neighbor to the north, as we listen to a play called The Apple Tree.  We also learn how Pod handles a tour of the subcontinent, that's cricket for those keeping score and we learn about the Vikings again in I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and why does the King always show up when Sir Jeremy needs a nip of brandy?  Enjoy.  I did.

This is late, I realize that.  This week our play is All My Sons by Arthur Miller.  We also have lots of fun with Pod and our prune collection.  No Embassy Lark this week due to the length of this week's play.  Enjoy.

This week we continue with BBC plays about America or written by Americans with a nod to my favorite play of all time.  Thornton Wilder's Our Town from 1946.  After the seriousness of our last documentary we presennt a mocumentary with our friend former England cricket player Dave Podmore and we begin Series 6 of I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and one of Troutbridge's own drops in to the tratvian Embassy.  Plus lots of laughter from Matt and pdm.  So please enjoy this episode of Brunch With The brits dedicated with love to the staff of Test Match special.

This week's play is jusgt fun.  It's called The Big Broadcast and it takes place agt a Chicago radio station in 1932.  We also conclude the summer of 1940 with a look at the Home Guard nd in the British Embassy in Tratvia the king is presented a gift, that keeps breaking.  Our current prune series ends with an ode to desert.  Enjoy.

Happy Independence Day to those who celebrate and happy Canada Day to those who celebrated.  For the rest of you hey the premier league is back in action tomorrow.  In any case we have a new show and it doesn't fail to dissapoint in which we start with Embassy Lark and learn about how the king knows what's going on in the British embassy in Tratvia, we move on to the Summer of 1940 and get a better look at the blitz, in I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again it's a parody of Ulyses and to conclude our first look at American literature for the month of July the play Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Mellvville adapted by Chery Cookson and starring Ian Holm.  Enjoy.
