Summary

It's time for another festive Planet Porky as the clock ticks towards Christmas.

Today's topics for Mike Parry and Lesley-Ann Jones to get stuck into include: The Royal School of Church Music carol service, buying the Christmas tree, Brexit negotiations, the French, how Paris has changed, the 40th anniversary of the death of John Lennon and how it was covered at the time, Ghislaine Maxwell's Christmas hope, the tier system pub experience, people watching, why marriage is so tough, Porky's new Christmas song, Slade, love of the cold weather, Peter Alliss, an all new electric forecourt, the top earning Christmas songs and why the classics still resonate, favourite festive hits, Kirsty MacColl, American foods, 25 years since Kate Moss' first Vogue cover, and why it's sometimes better to be remembered as you were and not as you are.

0:00.0	Okay, folks, you are listening to the latest edition, the latest episode of Life on Planet Porky.
0:28.1	You might hear a waiver in my voice.
0:30.9	That's because I've just spoken to Miss Jones, asked her about the sound quality of our respective voices and she's described my voice
0:39.6	as crisp as a nut. I mean, this is a family show, Miss Jones. I didn't mean that kind of
0:45.7	nut. Come on. Why are we starting a podcast? Are you talking about my nuts? I mean, are you off
0:50.9	your rocker? No, not yet, but give it time.
0:56.1	You see, she's giggling away again. I think you've been to something which alludes to a
1:02.0	carol service to my favourite church, St. Bride. How did that go? Yeah, I was there Sunday evening for a
1:07.8	beautiful Advent carols and lessons service. It's just such a relief to have the church

1:39.2	the sense of community has not left us. You know, it's very difficult for people right now. But something I did
1:46.2	want to mention, actually, on Saturday the 12th of December at 6pm, GMT, the Royal School of
1:52.9	Church Music is hosting a free Carol service online. And anyone can sign up to this. They'll send out
1:59.1	song sheets, everything that you need to take part.
2:02.6	You can sing in this as well.
2:04.8	And all they have to do is go to the RSCM Web Shop, which is www.
2:11.1	www.R.cm.shop.com.
2:15.6	And they'll be able to find details there if they fancy a nice big car or service.
