...the one before Christmas

BBC Radio 2 - Paul O'Grady, ...the one before Christmas

...featuring The Grinch O'Grady, feeble tinsel, and Jodie dressed as Catherine de' Medici.

Paul gets his Attenborough brothers mixed up in a rant about Frozen Planet, bumps into Steve Wright in the lift, and wishes all those taking part in panto this year good luck.

This week, Paul learnt about the origins of the Wigan Casino, revealed even his own Sat-Nav gets out of the car when he's driving, and got miffed with a giddy elf who was bouncing around Studio 6A.

This week's All-Star Triples featured The Shadows & The Bay City Rollers, the Mystery Year was 1961, and the Lost TV Theme was 'Peter Gunn' composed by Henry Mancini; although it did sound like it was being played through a sock!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.

Radio 2: Amazing music. Played by an amazing line-up. The home of great music, entertainment and documentaries
