Hey everyone,

Hope you're all having a cracking festive build up.

They certainly were back in the mists of time in Ambridge with a vertiable banger of a week.

• Joe selling bootleg cider punch at Deck the Halls (Gills).
• Nigel doing a gorilla striptease (possibly).
• Helen doubling up as a baby laxative (always).
• New Netflix series just dropped : Mike Tucker in Paris (Oui Oui!),

We loved every minute of it, as I think you'll detect in this episode of the pod.

Christmas 2010 to follow next week.

Lots of love,

TCS

What can we do when Ambridge dishes up a week like THAT one we just had?

Make a pod about it I guess.
