Summary

Ho ho ho… welcome to The Chris Moyles Show podcast!

We kicked off the week launching Christmas, including our festive jingles, putting the tree up in the studio and (eventually) switching on our Christmas lights! We cracked open a variety of interesting advent calendars… including a daily toast delivery for James.

Chesney Hawkes was our first guest this week, who gave us the revelation that he wants to be in Radiohead rather than just being the one and only Chesney Hawkes!

Comedy legend John Cleese came in and proved that laughter is the best medicine! However, he mostly came in to chat about Fawlty Towers: The Play, which has embarked on an 11 month tour and the success of his Fawlty Towers book!

We rounded off the week chatting to Judi Love about her upcoming live tour, and playing fart noises to her to try and make her laugh. You know, the usual Chris Moyles Show antics!

And you know what… that’s not all!

James gets electrocuted
Polly’s ‘alarming’ gift
Matt Parkes-Smith returns!

Enjoy!
