BUMPER CHRISTMAS SPECIAL: A Castle for Christmas

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 06:00:00 GMT

Julia is joined by Scottish giant (often mistaken for hot Santa) Stephen Oswald who tells her all about filming the excessively festive Netflix movie, A Castle for Christmas.

It was lockdown, 2020, and an obsession with knitting was about to take a hold of the plucky thespian as he travelled back to his native Scotland for 3 months to film with a bunch of similarly confused actors and Brook Shields! This one is quite a (sleigh) ride.

If you're looking for a podcast episode to put you in a Christmas mood, step right up.

The X Files, Eugene Tooms

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 14:16:36 GMT

The brilliant author, Hattie Williams, joins Julia to recount her early experiences watching The X Files on BBC Two.

No 9-year-old should see the things she's seen, but she finds the show's serial killer - Eugene Tooms - more funny than frightening now. Remember the yellow-eyed lurker who lived in nests made of his own lick and slithered through sewage pipes in search of his next victim?

Well, Hattie does in great, gratuitous detail.

Her gripping debut novel - Bitter Sweet - is out now in hardback and is totally unputdownable.

Short-lived BBC soap Eldorado

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 06:00:00 GMT

Journalist and author Michael Hogan reminisces with Julia about the blink-and-you'll-miss-it BBC soap opera Eldorado. A costly experiment for the BBC which built a small village in which to shoot the sun-soaked Spanish saga that only ran for a year in the early nineties.

Julia's never really gotten over the cancellation of Wogan to make way for it and for what?

Michael's brilliantly witty and twisty debut cosy crime novel - The Dog Walkers' Detective Agency - is out now and available in paperback.

The Mad Men lawnmower incident

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 06:00:00 GMT

The brilliant actor Liz Bower asks you to push away your dinner and join her in the offices of Sterling-Cooper advertising agency in New York as a feckless employee mounts a ride-on mower, after one too many wines, and causes bloody havoc.

A truly memorable moment from one of the greatest TV shows of all time. Is Jon Hamm still hot? How did production design get the blood to spatter so perfectly on the shocked faces of those extras? And a short Dave Grohl correction. Enjoy!

Hammer House of Horror: The House That Bled to Death

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 06:00:00 GMT

The star of, among other things, Netflix's A Castle For Christmas, Stephen Oswald chats to Julia about being far too small to watch Hammer House of Horror in 1980 when it went out on ITV and the particular moment from his favourite episode which involved a children's birthday party and a lot of fake blood.

If you have yet to watch A Castle For Christmas, go and check it out. An absolute delight of a festive film and it'll be good homework for our festive special closer to Christmas!

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 13:58:51 GMT

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Jonathan Creek

Fri, 10 Oct 2025 05:00:00 GMT

Journalist and author Michael Hogan talks about his love of duffle-coated, accidental detective Jonathan Creek and how his fondness for cosy crime went on to inspire his debut novel.

The Dogwalkers' Detective Agency is out now and follows the adventures of Charlie Boardman and his beloved Staffy, Ruby as they go on the trail of a killer after finding a body on their morning walk.

It's been hailed by the likes of Claudia Winkleman and Marian Keyes and is the perfect Autumnal read, full of twists, turns and Hogan's trademark humour.

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!
