Brunch With The Brits

Ok you want involvement?  You got it.  At the hour and fifty eight minute mark of the podcast this week I ask you to tell me your worst coach stories.  This is because this week on I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again during Operation Chocolate we listen to John Klese's tour guide impression which he made famous on Flying Circus.  So bring forth your worst and PDM says your best tour coach stories from...

This week the british embassy in Tratvia leaarns what it means to do it yourself.  Plus it is off to the ancient kingdom of Ethiopa.  Our Rumpole case this week involves the dearly departed and as always we ahave our prunes.  Enjoy.  

This week we begin to disect the lost kingdoms of Africa with a look at Nubia.  We also learn how Mr. Pettigrew joined the foreign office and those loveable prunes take us to ten thousand BC.  But most importantly we meet Horace Rumpole and she who must be obeyed as we listen to Rumpole and the Confession Of Guilt.  Dedicated to Fred Bertelsen who would have had a birthday this week.  Enjoy.

This week Sir Jeremy seems to have difficulty planning a party.  Also we'll conclude our mocumentary as Podmore preps for the summer ashes.  The prunes deal with making fun of Victorian melodrama and our play deals with a matter near and dear to my heart as the heroine has cerebral palsy.  Please enjoy.  Also major teasers for nexgt time.

This week, it's off to hte highlands of England's friendly neighbor to the north, as we listen to a play called The Apple Tree.  We also learn how Pod handles a tour of the subcontinent, that's cricket for those keeping score and we learn about the Vikings again in I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and why does the King always show up when Sir Jeremy needs a nip of brandy?  Enjoy.  I did.

This is late, I realize that.  This week our play is All My Sons by Arthur Miller.  We also have lots of fun with Pod and our prune collection.  No Embassy Lark this week due to the length of this week's play.  Enjoy.

This week we continue with BBC plays about America or written by Americans with a nod to my favorite play of all time.  Thornton Wilder's Our Town from 1946.  After the seriousness of our last documentary we presennt a mocumentary with our friend former England cricket player Dave Podmore and we begin Series 6 of I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and one of Troutbridge's own drops in to the tratvian...

This week's play is jusgt fun.  It's called The Big Broadcast and it takes place agt a Chicago radio station in 1932.  We also conclude the summer of 1940 with a look at the Home Guard nd in the British Embassy in Tratvia the king is presented a gift, that keeps breaking.  Our current prune series ends with an ode to desert.  Enjoy.

Happy Independence Day to those who celebrate and happy Canada Day to those who celebrated.  For the rest of you hey the premier league is back in action tomorrow.  In any case we have a new show and it doesn't fail to dissapoint in which we start with Embassy Lark and learn about how the king knows what's going on in the British embassy in Tratvia, we move on to the Summer of 1940 and get a bette...

This week our play deals with bird watching, literally, the prunes make fun of Jeeves we learn about the British fighter pilot yes you'll hear spitfires in action and when a certain British embassy abroad loses a flagpole you'll hear how they deaal with it.  Also the host talks football, whether he likes fake crowd noise etc.  Enjoy and pleaase contact the show at brunchwiththebrits@gmail.com

This week's play deals also with mental illness, in a lighter sort of way as we look at the quirky antics of Dame Margaret Rutherford, in the mid 1950s.  We also commit ourselves to a four week documentary looking at the summer of 1940 as only the BBC can tell the story.  Also the prunes look at othello and this week Her Majesty's ambassador to Tratvia takes a holiday.  Enjoy.

I don't pretend to be a mental health expert, but this week's play does deal with mental illness.  We'll be looking at Hearing Voices, which describes in greaat detail a policeman's horrifying abuse by schitzofrenia.  I know I also speaak for John, when I say we may be hosts but we are also hear to listen.  Please enjoy.  We will also hear the story of Radio 1 and have our embassy lark and prunes...

This week we begin the third series of The Embassy Lark from March 5 of 1968 with the episode The King's New Hostess.  We then have I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again with The Wild and Wooly Peter West from June 18 of 1967 then we have quite a play.  It's a first in a new series of host's picks entitled Single But Living Together from June 2 of 2011.  Enjoy.

This week, we finish jFatherland, Navy Lark, for the time being and we return to a galaxy far far away.  You also hear that some of the host's favorite resturants are opening again, get a first hand report from Western Australia on life down under during lock down and we mourn Heather Jean Chasen with John Lingard, and a Crossroads snipet.  Happy brunching.

So after our mammoth three and a half hour brunch last week, this one's only two hours.  We've got Navy Lark, we've got a new documentary, we continue Fatherland we have prunes and we have Matt and Maria bantering about Sgtarwars?  Yep?  It's all here enjoy.

If you remember the glory days of Brunch With The Brits, glory daays which one daay may return due to this quaranteen, you may remember back in the days of mevio when space was unlimited and we sometimes did shows that were up to three hours. Some of you miss that and have told us that in no uncertain terms. Well, it's for you, you that have opined and so you shall have, this time on Brunch we giv...

This time on Brunch With The Brits, we continue Navy Lark and see what happens when the chief decides to enter Johnson in a manpowered flying contest. It's from October 22 1967.

This is not a numbered episode but it is a brief episode to explain our absence and also to explain that our absence is going to be a lot lengthier.  I had a listener some months back who sent an email that said "This is a great podcast, I just wish it was consistent," so it is for that listener why we'gve produced this episode.  I don't know how long we'll be gone and there are myriads of people...
