BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Live, Michael Rosen

Julia Georgallis on how to eat your Christmas Tree; Frank Skinner's Inheritance Tracks.

Writer and poet, Michael Rosen; incurable romantic, William Cash; Christmas tree eater, Julia Georgallis; and Frank Skinner's Inheritance Tracks.

The writer and poet Michael Rosen joins Aasmah Mir and Suzy Klein. He shares his discoveries of a lost family found, the importance of play, and tells us how to eat a bagel.
Back by popular demand: the cook Julia Georgallis, gives advice on ‘How to eat your Christmas tree’. 
Incurable romantic, William Cash, explains why he has a treasure trove of more than a thousand love letters, archived in a pig shed, and how restoring his family home helped him deal with heartbreak.
Inspired by her experience of suddenly losing her mother, who ‘took her precious memories with her’, Bryher Scudamore set up an online template – autodotbiography. She describes how inheriting a wallet containing letters written by her great-grandfather, led to discovering surprising stories of his life just after the American Civil War.
And Frank Skinner shares his Inheritance Tracks - Winter Wonderland, performed by Dean Martin and George Formby singing Why Women Don’t Like Me.

Producer: Louise Corley
