Following  on from our Holiday Special 'Special', Dan, Craig, Stuart and Jez get  together to watch the Holiday Special in it's entirety. 

What new insights and observations will they offer up?  


At  the time of recording, none of them have watched it for many years   (apart from Jez who made his wife watch it just 24 hours before!) and  we're inviting you to listen along to their reactions as they happen.  


There's  even a little bit of post show analysis as they each give it a  rating  out of ten. Will there be high scores all round? Or will there be   detractors?  


The perfect companion to SHOW 030.

"It makes us smile, but only because we are laughing at the utter  horror. We laugh to avoid the pain." – Mark Beall  


"Words have not been invented to describe how bad it is." – Alex Carter  


We  could go on, but is The Star  Wars Holiday Special really as bad as its  reputation? Jez, Craig and Stuart to try to answer that question as  they look into variety shows of the time, the plot, the music, the cast,  crew and much more.


The  boys also draw up their own Holiday Specials for a post-Force Awakens  Disney release – Will Poe and BB-8 deliver salt from Crait to the  Resistance to save Christmas Dinner? Will the 60 minute makeover team be  able to rebuild Maz's castle? Will Han Solo's send off be as  crazy as  Ackmena using a conga to clear a Cantina? Listen in and decide  for  yourselves.

Our  2020 Halloween Special takes a break from the usual format, with a look  at an element of Star Wars that always puts Craig in mind of the famous  HG Wells book (and subsequent movies adaptations) ‘The Island of Doctor  Moreau’.


Written  in 1896, it's very early science fiction horror story telling the tale  of a man trapped on the island home of a mad scientist who creates  human-like hybrid beings by experimenting on humans and animals.


But  how does all that relate to Star Wars?  We are thinking, of course, of  George Lucas’s fascination in creating alien races by taking earth-bound  animals and turning them into human-like beasts.


So  looking at things in that (rather grim) context we explore some of the  creatures of Star Wars, while reimagining Lucas as a mad scientist  surrounded by his creations.


‘The Island of Dr Modesto’, if you will...
