Brunch With The Brits

This week Matt Cox and John Lingard do what they do best ... talk.  About Brexit, the improbable rise of the Lincoln football club and a host of British radio and telivission.  Also you'll hear part 2 of Have His Carcas enjoy an Embassy Party and finish This Sceptred Isle.  Yes ... finish it.  Enjoy.

When Zeek the Dog asks for stuff it gets done.  When I married PDM I asked my best friend of 37 years to stand with me as mmy best man.  He said yes on one condition.  That we continue whaat FFred Bertelsen started and continue the Lord Peter Whimsay cannon here on Brunch.  Yes Eric Troup asked for his Lordship practically implored so ... like any good firend I've complied.  Enjoy Have His Carcass Eric the next few weeks are for you.

We'll also as what became of an old Radio Netherlands presenter from bygone days and listen to two Embassy Larks plus the story of Ali BABa enjoy.

This week on Brunch With The Brits it's part 2 of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy but first we'll learn about Queen Victoria's sixtieth year in office, and begin unraveling the plot of Moris Prune while we listen to a parody of Moll Flanders.  Simon Russel Beal again plays Smiley.  Enjoy.

This week I was delayed somewhat by a huge ice storm.  If Jane my boss hears this and I hope she does it was a real pleasure to help out and I'm glad I could.  However as you'll hear in the beginning this led to a complete rebuild of what was supposed to be an exciting show talking about Brexit how the US elections were seen in Britain and Lincoln City's amazing third round win in the FA cup.  Instead well havea listen and see how the host comes through  Producer Director Maria always says you can make a good meaal with summer sausage, chese, crackers and fruit and I believe qwe've done just that to share the shows would ruin the surprise.  John has been contacted and he'll be joinus us soon.  Enjoy

We'll also end Journey In To Space for the time being.  Hope all  of you hd nice holidays.  Enjoy.

I'd like to begin by wishing all of you the most wonderful holiday season imaginable.  As Maria and I begin our first Christmas well our first joint Christmas we present a documentary on the Hebejeebees we learn about Queen Victoria's jubilee try and figure out why Lady Daaphne is caught up in a Tratvian bus strike wonder if rocket ship Luna will ever return to Eaarth 1965 and finally well give you a real Christmas ghost story.  God bless us every one.

I have to be honest in writing that this has got to be my favorite BBC light play that has to do with the warmth of the holidays.  Here's hoping your holidays are warm as we also continue Journey In to Space we're almost done with the first series we conclude Radio Active the first series we're off to London with Sir Jeremy Crighton Buller and we learn about Lord Salisbury in Sceptred Isle.  Plenty to keep you entertained and please enjoy it.  Thanks as always for the privelidge of your time. 

That is the title of our Daunt and Dervish case and it marks the end of our Daunt and Dervish series for this time.  We have a complete Embassy Lark for you listen to our old friends from a certain naval frigate.  Also we continue our Journey In To Space study news with the Radioactive team and we learn about General Gordon and Kartoum.  Enjoy it's a good long program Lord Rudy.

Special thanks to John Lingard it's not complete but we'll take it.

Sorry to say the episode of Embassy Lark is unplayable so it's on its way to stately Lingard Towers for a look.  Once it gets to Lincolnshire we'll have more of an ide as to whether the Princess can be salvaged.  Meantime we have Operation Luna Sceptred Isle more from the team at Radioactive and an awesome Daunt and Dervish which should have you on your seat the entire episode.  Please enjoy.  www.brunchwiththebrits.net

All will be investigated this week on Brunch plus Radioactive, and Embassy Lark.  Enjoy

This week more from Journey In To Space Radioactive Embassy Lark Sceptred Isle and Daunt and Dervish.  Enjoy

As Julie Anne promised we continue Journey In To Space we also listen to the original pilot episode of Radioactive we begin larking with a British embassy in a mythical central European country and we revisit Daunt And Dervish.  Enjoy

We've promised for years we'd start this and thanks to Julie Anne Watson we have.  She's going to present the first four episodes of Operation Luna from her studios in Western Australia and I promise when I return on 400 I'll continue the story.  Thank you so much Julie Anne for your contributiion while I'm away you help make the bwtb team what it is.  I'd also like to mention that this is Julie Anne's first full show with us and we've welcomed her contributions in the past.  A knowledgeable otr resource for British and Australian shows it's a pleasure to have her with us this week.  So join me in welcoming Julie Anne to our team.

If you are an old time radio fan as I am then the Gassman brothers really need no introduction.  However if you're new to their voices then a small intro may be needed.  They've hosted an old time radio show on public radio here in Southern California since 1982 called Same Time Same Station and while it's on line now here on yesterdayusa.com or at radiooutofthepast.org their knowledge of otr is truly insightful and wonderful.  Well this week we're discussing British personalities who moved to America and we'll hear a Bob Hope show featuring Barel Davis as its singer we'll hear the blitz of London as CBS news covered it we'll listen to some Al Boly music and hear about an English magazine dedicated to to the British dance band sounds of the twenties and thirties and we'll conclude with The Campbellwell Poisoner fromm The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.  Yes it's different but I can already tell you they will be asked back.  You see this is a subject we can continue as we move in to the 400s.  So thanks Joh

This week from stately Lingard Towers we're treated to more then a few treats but beware behind the treats there are a few tricks as well.  In keeping with the season we'll listen to a Wilkie Collins dramatization of The Haunted Hotel but we'll have time to laugh with Radioactive who said people from Oxford weren't funny hear a reading from Lincoln City Radio of Philip K Dick's The I's have it and conclude with a radio play entitled Bah Bah Black Sheep which in my opinion is good enough for BBC you be the judge.  Either way you feel John needs to be thanked for his hard work allowing me to step away for a bit.  Thank you John

This week it's Stephen King's Misery a Dirk Mags play done for World Service.  While we have no broadcast daate it's a great work and makes us want to play more World Service in the future.  This is also my last show until after the wedding so we'll also get in some Sceptred Isle in which Victoria becomes Empress of India.  Enjoy

We conclude the Secret Of Chimneys today and who knows more Christy may be on the way ... on the main show.

A gunshot and Cade is innocent.  What is going on At Chimneys?  Enjoy the second episode of a Christy Thriller a little dated but fun none the less
