‘Do we have to listen to this?’

– John’s 6 year old niece.

(Fair play to her, it was Christmas day, she had better things to  do)

Would we do a Christmas special? Came the enquiry from high up in the Radio Scotland firmament. In fact, will you do five, and we’ll put them out every day of Christmas week 2009?

Well, why not?

We recorded on a suitably dreich couple of nights in November, and the shows went out at lunchtime on the 21^st, 22^nd 23^rd, 24^th and 25^th December. The perfect audio accompaniment to the peeling of a big pile of sprouts.

Next: Desperate Fishwives Radio Hogmanay Special

The Hogmanay Special is a bit of a badge of honour for Scottish comedians, so we were affa pleased to be asked to produce one for Radio Scotland. Highlights included Robbie Shepherd raking through the archive to find lost tapes of the White Pudding Club, new characters The Bakery Wifies and our own version of Auld Lang Syne.

No prizes for guessing when the show went out; there was also a New Years Day repeat for everyone who was either too busy or too boozy to catchit on Hogmanay.
