I believe that many who find that nothing happens when they sit down or kneel down to a book of devotion

would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology

with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand.

This is Pineswood Jack, season nine, episode 31.

The season finale.

Dun dun dun dun. Let's go.

Have you been looking, everywhere searching for a place where you belong away from the masses among clinking

glasses where the hearth fire is on let the laughter welcome you in that eagle and child

in there's room at this table to take a seat and tuck right in

Pints with Jack

Pints with Jack

Welcome friends to Pints with Jack

And welcome to Pints with Jack

And welcome to the final for season 9

The finale for season nine.

This season we've been to 1980s, Narnia, explored yet more Jack's bookshelf, thanks to David,

spent a month exploring the weird world of Charles Williams, also thanks to David,

and of course worked through a dense work of philosophy,

The Abolition of Man, which is why we opened with that quotation from Lewis's essay on the

reading of old books. By the way, is there anything around here that's not thanks to David?

Yeah. Normally, like, I say that, listen to nothing. Because normally, David would do about 80% of the interviews, and Andrew and I will tag team, like 20% of them. And I think David did maybe 98% of them this season. And so anything that you saw there was due to his sheer will effort with the whole family and grueling work jobs.

So there's a reason he doesn't look showered right now to be blunt and has a little of a beard
