122. A Very Christmas Biggins
56:12||Season 8, Ep. 122He's beeeeen! NOW it's Christmas, as our Lucy and Jen finally let us hear what happened when they spoke to the one, the only, Christopher Biggins earlier this year, live on stage at The Museum of Comedy. As you would expect, there's not a game or quiz show in the land that hasn't been graced by this national treasure's presence and so we get to hear some cracking anecdotes from dinner with Sinatra to hugging Ben Shephard, Biggins has done it all. And as he is of course, the ultimate panto dame, Lucy and Jen test his knowledge on the subject... oh yes they do! The FOB team will be back in '25 with lots more fun to be had, but in the meantime, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and HUGE thanks for all your support. Don't forget to tell your friends about us, so we can keep making the show and if you wanted to give us something for the festive season, why not pop a nice review on your podcast app?!See you soon, much love, Lucy, Jenny and Producer Amanda Xxx
