We really couldn't do any of this without you, so thank you. Hello, welcome, Merry Christmas,

Happy Holidays, this is Navarrara FM and my name is Eleanor Penny.

Christmas is a time for love, a time for happiness, a time for turtlenecks, a time for

Rowan Atkinson, a time for running through airports, and most importantly, a time for ill-advised,

erotic tension with your employees.

Yep, this episode we are talking about Love Actually, 2003 ensemble movie about Christmas romance

and the impossible psychological trap of being English.

I was joined by writer and cultural critic Natalie Ola, the author of titles like Steed as much as you can and Bad Taste.

We talked about Blairism, feminism and the family, about rom-coms, The War on Terror and the Reinvention of Britishness at the end of history.

Music at the end of history Hello around me

Just so excited

I can do you get in hot

Hello

Does Natalie live here?

No

Right, fine
