  • COME STRICTLY DANCING - Xmas 2024 Finale Comeback Special
    Dec 15 2024

    Surprise! Julia and Joel are jiving back into your feed for a special episode of COME STRICTLY DANCING.


    Hepped up on tinsel and at least two cocktails a piece, they discuss the whole Strictly 2024 shebang including the summer of scandal, what was going on with Wynn and Katya and how the nation and the show got the right winner in the end.


    Put another log on the fire and kick back for an hour and a bit of inconsequential dance chat. Happy Christmas!

  • Christmas 2023 - We're back!
    Dec 19 2023

    After the world's longest podcast hiatus (will verify with Norris McWhirter) Julia is back for a chat with regular guest (and, yes, he happens to be her husband), comedy writer Joel Morris.


    They reminisce about the TV of Christmases past and look forward to the new traditions they're making with their own family. But mostly it's just them bunking on about Blue Peter fire hazards, Victoria Wood, the big Christmas day film, Noel Edmonds, more Victoria Wood, dancing newsreaders and how excited they are about the Ghosts special on Christmas Day.


    If you're in a Yule-ish mood, why not scroll back to some of our Christmas specials from 2020 including THIS lovely one about The Good Life Christmas Special with Greg Haiste or THIS absolute beauty from Toby Davies looking back at the quite wonderful Children of Green Knowe.


    We hope you have a lovely Christmas free of disease and distemper and we'll see you in 2024!
