It's Chriiiiiiiistmaaaaaas!And it's the inaugural LTO Christmas Special!Featuring a Christmas chat; a Christmas quiz; FOUR Christmas sketches; two giddy hosts; one amazing guest; and a partridge in a pear tree.Joining Esther and Susie for the Christmas Special is actress and comedian, Janice Connolly. Janice is a familiar face on television as Holy Mary in Phoenix Nights with Peter Kay; Rosie Colton in BBC 1's Doctors; and as her comedy alter ego, Mrs Barbara Nice who had the Britain's Got Talent judges in stitches in 2019. Janice has just stepped down from her role as Artistic Director of Women & Theatre - the award-winning Birmingham theatre company she co-founded. Janice chats to S&E about the company's pioneering work over the last 40 years; how her career in comedy started; what it's like  appearing in BGT; and she generously guest stars as the Ghost of Christmas Past in the Dickens' themed sketches! Thank you so much, Janice!It's a bumper episode packed full of Christmas surprises. And if you fancy playing a game while listening, you could drink every time you hear the word 'sherry' - just try and keep up with Esther!Susie & Esther wish you a very Happy Christmas full of music, mirth and...sherry.
