Brunch With The Brits

This podcast has been long overdue, and we finally realized it was time to publish it when it had been almost a year since we've published and with no guilt or pangs of remorse with everything else going on we felt now was the time to step back.  We explain in great detail why.  The show will remain open so listeners can checck past episodes.  Farewell and godspeed.  .  

This is the week we finally relaunch.  There's a  bit of disscussion in the beginning about Matt's long absence and then we'll dive right back in whefre we left off.  With Navy Lark, that means right back to Series 12 and we leaarn what happens when Troutbridge winds up in Shanghai, rather then Shankley and what happens when an old flame enters Povy's office.  Then it's off to London late 1890s as we continue our look at The Casebook Of Sherlock Holmes and The Three Garadebs.  enjoy.  

It feels like the end of an era, not for Brunch but for Narnia.  We've done it along with an hour's worth of Navy Lark, that because this episode was actually recorded last winter I can't remember but fear not.  Brunch is relaunching and I'll have more details on that soon!  Meanwhile enjoy this.  

This week we return with a good long brunch to end the holidays.  We begin with an hour of Navy Lark in which we learn about who can grow a beard faster between Commander Murray and Sub LT Philips then it's strange radio signals that HMS Troutbridge has to figure out.  We continue then with I'm Sorry I'll Reaad That Again and their New Year's Eve 1970 special featuring Dr. Chivago.  Then it's back to Narnia and Part 1 of The Last Battle.  Enjoy.

This week we conclude the Silver Chair and begin the twelfth series of Navy Lark with two episodes.  We also conclude NOtes From A Small Island.  Please enjoy.  It took us a while onthis one, as you'll hear in my monologues between programs.  We hope you're having a delightful holiday season and please email us at brunchwiththebrits@gmail.com with any requests.

This week after what has seemed a long absence we begin The Silver Chair after completing series 8 of I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and learning all about Western Supermare with Bill Bryson.  Enjoy.

To cclose out July and our annual look at American playwrights as only the Beeb knows how we're looking at Death Of A Salesman and yes it's quite good.  But we also have Bill Bryson's take on Dorsett and an entire hour of I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again.  So sit back relax it's almost four hours you can break up.  Next week it's back to Narnia.  Enjoy.

This week we conclude series 11 of Navy Lark by seeing what happens to Troutbridge under new radar.  Then it's a look at the bride of Frankenstein on I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again Bill Bryson tells us about working at an old sanitorium in Virginia Water and we conclude with a look at Harpo Marks's goodwill tour of Russia in 1933.  Enjoy.

This week as we do our annual July tribute to America, we feature Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, as our play.  We also begin Notes From A Small Island and enjoy rather endearingly Bill Bryson's look at Britain from his American perspective.  There's a little extra fun with Navy Lark and we are still working through I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again this time in which Lady Constance is hunted like a fox.  Enjoy.

This week we conclude The Voyage Of The Dawntreader.  But first we open with Navy Lark, in which CPO Pertwy makes magic with a fruit machine, then Matt Cox and John Lingard talk Prince Philip, his life, his legacy, tv, soccer, church postpandemic cCalifornia and anything else they hit.  It's a fun summer jaunt with John and we thank him and hope you enjoy it.  We then have I'm Sorry I'll Read That AGain in which the prunes make fun of Henry VIII and we then conclude The Voyage of The Dawntreader.  Thanks to Julianne and Joseph and a happy first to Julieanne and Joseph.  Enjoy.  brunchwiththebrits@gmail.com

This week as the title implies, we begin the Voyage Of The Dawn Treader.  But we also have Navy Lark in which Commander Murray returns from his honeymoon, we conclude An Utterly Impartial History in which John OFarrell discusses Britain's finest hour we have another supberbly messed up play from the Prunes in which British rail is completely panned and makes me wonder if BR is still just as awful as it sounded in 1970 and we take a deeper look at Chief Inspector West courtessy of Julie Anne in Australia.  Plenty to enjoy why not sit down?

Sorry for the lateness of this episode.  But we're back and on time well weekend on time that is with the conclussion of Prince Caspian.  We also have a fun Navy Lark episode in which Commander Murray gets married to Rita, a look at Billy Bunter from Radio Prune and a look at the Battle of hastings with our utterly impartial look at British history.  Enjoy.  

This week we begin with spies aboard Troutbridge, then we get an altered history lesson about charterism, we hear Tales Of The Circus in I'm Sorry I'll Reaad That Again conclude Inspector West At Bay and begin Prince Caspian.  Plenty to like oh and we're caught up too.  Enjoy.

This week we conclude The Horse And His Boy plus we learn about the Vikings again in our Utterly Impartial History Of Britan, plus it's troubles with Ramona's washing machine in The Navy Lark there are bullets in Bell Street for Chief Inspector West and hey lots of stuff to keep yoou entertained this week, so why not stop in and give us three hours?

This week we debut a new documentary which is a companion to an audiobook I discovered on my recent flight to Kansas.  It's called An Utterly And Impartial History of Britain and we look at the first episode from 2007.  We go spycatching with Troutbridge's crew from Feb 22 1970 engage in the Canterbury Tales with the Radio Prune Crew from JFeb 22 1970 we continue our Inspector West mystery from 1969 as we listen to Part 6 of Inspector West At Bay and we begin The Horse And His Boy in our look at Narnia.  Lots to sink in to enjoy.

On this rather delayed show due to the host's vacation, we begin with Navy Lark, then we look at Prince Philip again in his own words talking about his war time experiences.  We then continue our series long look at I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again with the beginning of their eighth series and The Taming Of The Shrew.  We then conclude with Chief Inspector West.  Don't worry as we plan to make up episodes this month.  Enjoy.

This week in place of a documentary Matt talks in detail about his trip to Dissneyland's grand reopening after 412 days closed due to the pandemic.  We at bwtb would like to publicly thank Jason Lee and Paul and Calvin Barrie from Window To The Magic for making the day so special.  As far as a show well we have two greaat episodes of Navy Lark and we continue Inspector West At Bay.  Please enjoy.  Email brunchwiththebrits@gmail.com and thanks for listening.

This week after our hour of naval commedy we meet HRH in a wonderful interview.  We'll be looking at HRH a lot these next few weeks culminating with a full disscussion of his life on May 22 with John Lingard.  We also have Chief Inspector West and conclude The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe.  I had promised a historical documentary but found HRH more compelling so please forgive the host.  Enjoy.

This week we have two Navy Lark episodes to start us off.  One in which Pertwy is considered for promotion.  Then it's off for a short history of grunge.  Get those old Nirvanah compact discs out.  Then we continue Inspector West At Bay with the second part of that dramatic series and we begin The Lion The Witch And The wardrobe.  Enjoy.  Special thanks to Julie Anne and Joseph for help with navy lark and narnia.

This week one of the shows is a surprise Easter egg or in this case a birthday gift.  If you want to know in advance check tags but I hhope you'll listen along and be pleaasantly surprised.  We'll start with a Christmas show keeping chronologically with I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again from December 25 1969 then it's off to Portsmouth to see how Troutbridge has fared with Lt. Murray and company returning from leave.  Then sadly we finishe Cosmic Quest with a burning question.  Are we alone?  Then it's surprise time followed by episode 2 and the the conclussiion of The Magician's Nephew.  Plenty to get excited about and very happy birthday wishes to my best friend of 45 years Eric Troup.
