December 1993 (The Queen's Christmas Letter and The Nobel Prize)

Our end-of-year special for BBC Radio Wales, I Can't Get Over 2024, is available now on BBC Sounds.If you're a Xennial (or thereabouts), December 1993 was probably "peak Christmas" and amidst all the excitement, you may well have found yourself too busy to fully take in the signifcance of Nelson Mandela's Nobel Peace prize win or the absolutely batshit timing of The Queen's letter to Charles and Diana urging them to get on the divorce train. We cover both events in this show which probably isn't Classically Festive, in the truest sense of the word - but it's what happened in 1993 and there's not much we can do about it now.Send us a message (but a nice one, not one like the Queen sends) by email on [email protected] or through one of the following social media accounts...BlueSky: @imsonotoveritInstagram: @imsonotoveritTikTok: @imsonotoveritSome previous Decembers covered by the podcast include December 1989, in which Pete Waterman postponed his wedding and December 1987 in which Eastenders trialled a live segment in a New Year special. Both are ridiculous in their own way. There's also the last three episodes on the feed.Music by Alex_Kizenkov from Pixabay.I'm So Not Over It is A Mighty Bunny Production.Tickets are now on sale for Gareth Gwynn's show Cyril at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
