Don't be shy, send me a message!Merry Christmas! A special mini-episode where I look back at a busy month - three 007 reviews, two on this podcast and one on Youtube. I look back at 'C' is for 'crumpets' and my (limited) progress in that area. I admit, I've gotten no further in my investigation as to whether I should say 'scone' or 'scone'. Also: coming up... 'M' is for 'Monarchy'. Finally, if you haven't listened to my 'deep dive' into Christmas with Caine, check it out! There are, after all, 12 days of Christmas!Support the show

SPOILER! review of No Time to Die with Chris Morales (Instagram and Youtube’s “That One Bond Guy”) who has also appeared on TV as a major Bond fan! ***Do not listen unless you have seen the film, we get into major spoilers pretty quick!***It was great to have Chris on again!
