What's All This Then with Charlotte McDonnell and Libby Watson

Hear ye, hear ye! Is apparently not something that Lord Mayors say but I really thought it was. Maybe I was thinking of town criers but now I'm not even sure if they say that there. I'm mostly thinking of Homer in that one Simpsons episode, I guess. Our friend Mattie Lubchansky is back to discuss Fraudulent Fred Ferkel, Christmas crackers, and crazy-ass roundabouts before we learn what a Lord Mayor does. Plus, Real or Fake: Lord Mayor's Show edition.

GREASE ME UP! Is what I'd say if someone offered me a full English breakfast, and then I guess they'd be like "huh?" and I'd have to explain it's a Simpsons quote and yes I would quite like a full English breakfast, which is traditionally quite greasy. Today we're joined by certified cool guy Steve Sladkowski of PUP to discuss what he called, and I am just quoting here, "one of [Britain's] great contributions to world cuisine." Perhaps damning with faint praise, but nevertheless! Plus, the (anti-)piss flaps of Fleet Street, and another Tesco Reviews game.

Eh-oh! Is how those stupid idiot Teletubbies think you say "hello." Our wonderful friend Stefan Heck, host of Blocked Party and the Go Off Kings, returns to talk smoothies, Christmas crackers, and bettering ourselves, before we figure out what the deal with the Teletubbies was. Most importantly: Was Tinky Winky GAY? Plus, another vital edition of Sausage Watch, and we work on our pitch for a gritty reboot of the Teletubbies.

Long have I yearned for this episode's release... Is what you'd say about this episode if you were Tolkien, but alive and a fan of the show. Libby tried ever so hard and mostly failed to hide how excited she was to have Bill Corbett, from Rifftrax and Mystery Science Theater 3000, on the show, to talk to us about Lord of the Rings! Plus, we made him look at some really horrible, dirty sausages, and talked about the best MST3k episodes filmed in the UK. Drop your favourite quotes from The Projected Man in the comments.

A BONUS episode on the MAIN feed? Can they do that? We're too busy letting the Christmas pudding settle and muttering "I suppose I'LL do this then" while picking up all the wrapping paper to record a new episode this week. Instead, have one of our best Finest episodes from behind the paywall: A history of Charlotte's BBC show Chartjackers, where she tried to get a song to the top of the charts using only the mystical new power of something called "You Tube."

We'll be back next week with new episodes of the show!

Ohhhh I bloody love Christmas but I bloody love ADVERTS more! Mmm yummy I want to watch them all even more than I want a mince pie! Is what Asda hopes you’re saying every year. Justin McElroy joins us again to discuss whether British people eat soup, before we dive into an exploration of the weirdly emotional, long, expensive Christmas ads that somehow became A Thing in Britain. Plus, Charlotte knocks it out of the park with a game of Bonkers Blokes.
