Brunch With The Brits

This week's play deals also with mental illness, in a lighter sort of way as we look at the quirky antics of Dame Margaret Rutherford, in the mid 1950s.  We also commit ourselves to a four week documentary looking at the summer of 1940 as only the BBC can tell the story.  Also the prunes look at othello and this week Her Majesty's ambassador to Tratvia takes a holiday.  Enjoy.

I don't pretend to be a mental health expert, but this week's play does deal with mental illness.  We'll be looking at Hearing Voices, which describes in greaat detail a policeman's horrifying abuse by schitzofrenia.  I know I also speaak for John, when I say we may be hosts but we are also hear to listen.  Please enjoy.  We will also hear the story of Radio 1 and have our embassy lark and prunes as well.  Btw meant to publish this last week, thanks to John for letting us know.

This week we begin the third series of The Embassy Lark from March 5 of 1968 with the episode The King's New Hostess.  We then have I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again with The Wild and Wooly Peter West from June 18 of 1967 then we have quite a play.  It's a first in a new series of host's picks entitled Single But Living Together from June 2 of 2011.  Enjoy.

This week, we finish jFatherland, Navy Lark, for the time being and we return to a galaxy far far away.  You also hear that some of the host's favorite resturants are opening again, get a first hand report from Western Australia on life down under during lock down and we mourn Heather Jean Chasen with John Lingard, and a Crossroads snipet.  Happy brunching.

So after our mammoth three and a half hour brunch last week, this one's only two hours.  We've got Navy Lark, we've got a new documentary, we continue Fatherland we have prunes and we have Matt and Maria bantering about Sgtarwars?  Yep?  It's all here enjoy.

If you remember the glory days of Brunch With The Brits, glory daays which one daay may return due to this quaranteen, you may remember back in the days of mevio when space was unlimited and we sometimes did shows that were up to three hours. Some of you miss that and have told us that in no uncertain terms. Well, it's for you, you that have opined and so you shall have, this time on Brunch we give you not one not two but over three and a half hours of brunchy goodness. We start with a sectiion of our seasonal interview with John, that actually happened before the interview. Then we start the show. In Navy Lark, we learn why Philips did as well as he did at Dartmouth, then we conclude The Making Of Music with a look at the Royal Albert. Then we talk to John, about Britain in lockdown, Brexit, the latest TV offerings get those brit boxes ready and wait for it the popularity of the shipping news. We then conclude with Fatherland. March has a Swiss visa, but what will he leaarn once he's in Zurich? Relax, enjoy,

This time on Brunch With The Brits, we continue Navy Lark and see what happens when the chief decides to enter Johnson in a manpowered flying contest. It's from October 22 1967. Then it's Grand Opera with The Making Of Music from July 12 2007 we examine the faults of the British army with the prunes from May 21 1967 and go back to June 16 1998 for episode 2 of Fatherland. Enjoy.

Just how would things be different, if Germany had won the second world war? We'll be going inside a fictional Fatherland as we begin Fatherland by Robert Harris, starring Anton Lesser. We also find out whaat happens when Cuthbert joins the Navy, listen to some music virtuosis and meet Doctor Club. Plenty of brunch to go round this time. Enjoy.  Remember you can email the show at brunchwiththebbrits@gmail.com.

This week we conclude Gaudy Night, also have Navy Lark, I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and we'll look at Weber in The Making Of Music.

This week, we answer mail from Daavid, Jim and John, along with our regular offerings.  We listen to Navy Lark from October 1 1967 entitled Buging Burgled Beer then we learn about Schubert in the making of Music.  Afgter that it's another episode of I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again after that it's Part 4 of Gaudy Nights  Enjoy

This week we almost lost the episode.  I'm thrilled to write that dropbox stores files so thank God for them.  Anyhow we've added a new series of I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again this week.  But we start with Navy Lark and the episode seeing Red from September 24 1967 then we listen to The Making of Music where we continue to study bethoven by looking at one of his best symphonies.  Then as promised we go to April 23 1967 to see the prunes where their story this week is Knights of the Round Table perhaps a bit of Holy Grail's infancy in there.  We conclude with Part 3 of Gaudy Night and this I can tell you.  Lord Peter is back from Rome.  Enjoy.  Remember to email us at brunchwiththebrits@gmail.com and send voice messages to producerdirectormaria@gmail.com enjoy

We've returned.  With everything crazy going on about you in the world, we thought some good old fashioned brunch was just the thing you needed.  We continue Navy Lark with Computerizing learn about bethoven in the Making of Music, then continue with episode 2 of Gaudy Night.  Please enjoy.  There is a new microphone for you to endure.  Please send us your quarantine stories at brunchwiththebrits@gmail.com or a voice recording to producerdirectormaria@gmail.com

We ... have finally returned and while the show isn't as long right now as you've come to expect in the past we hope that with a few shorter shows as we ease our way back in you'll be forgiving.  So please enjoy our offerings.  We start with Navy Lark and listen to what happens when the ship celebrates an important aniversary.  We then move to the history of music where we'll be discussing the French Revolution and per the request of Eric Troup we'll be beginning Gaudy Night a five part Peter Whimsay serial.  For the first time it's in stereo.  Hey Lynette, I'm back to stay.  Hope you all enjoy.

We're making a return.  Yes we're back for the present.  This week as I'm frantically searching for stuff to play ... more on that next week I promise we have an interview I conducted with the podcast reporter fred Castaneda from www.podcastreporter.com.  It's all about the Hammer film studios of England which brought us great films like "A Study in Terror," and of course Frankenstein.  Please enjoy and we'll have John Lingard soon to discuss Brexit, Boris Johnson and my personal favorite cricket.  It's good to be back.  

This is not a numbered episode but it is a brief episode to explain our absence and also to explain that our absence is going to be a lot lengthier.  I had a listener some months back who sent an email that said "This is a great podcast, I just wish it was consistent," so it is for that listener why we'gve produced this episode.  I don't know how long we'll be gone and there are myriads of people to thank which we hhave done on the show.  Special thanks go to especially @disneyindiana @wttm and radiooutofthepast.org pleaase listen and if you have any questions email brunchwiththebrits@gmail.com

Shakespeare once said, “If music be the food of love play on,” and if you love music, you’ll love what we have this week.  First some good news.  I’m not going to talk very much.  It’s because we’ll be listening to “Amadeus,” by Peter Shafer but before we do we’ll be looking at Mozart through some of his best music along with James Nochte from July 2, 2007.  “Amadeus,” is from 2006 and stars Paul Schofield as Salieri and Simon Callow as Mozart.  Please enjoy.  A slight word of warning.  The play does contain some language and scenes that should not be listened to by all.  My friend Scott over in Disney Indiana when he promotes the show says it like this “Keep the little ears covered,” however, this is something they too will appreciate in twenty years.  Enjoy.                  Brunch With The Brits can be accessed in the following ways all of which are highly encouraged and are there for your use.  We’re available at the following web sites.  http://www.r         adiooutofthepast.org  http://www.brunchwithth
