4: Strangers in a Panto Land

The holidays are over and your hosts are picking over the leftovers. Matt continues to make the case that pantomime is not really good for anybody involved, while somehow Mike managed to swerve the Boxing Day show. We have reports and regrets from New Year's and wildly inaccurate predictions for 2026.All that plus stories of mild family strife and peril, made worse by cross-cultural misunderstandings. Or maybe better? We can't tell? Because this is Britain and maybe it was all just irony? Roll on new year.
