This podcast has been long overdue, and we finally realized it was time to publish it when it had been almost a year since we've published and with no guilt or pangs of remorse with everything else going on we felt now was the time to step back.  We explain in great detail why.  The show will remain open so listeners can checck past episodes.  Farewell and godspeed.  .  

This is the week we finally relaunch.  There's a  bit of disscussion in the beginning about Matt's long absence and then we'll dive right back in whefre we left off.  With Navy Lark, that means right back to Series 12 and we leaarn what happens when Troutbridge winds up in Shanghai, rather then Shankley and what happens when an old flame enters Povy's office.  Then it's off to London late 1890s as we continue our look at The Casebook Of Sherlock Holmes and The Three Garadebs.  enjoy.  

This week as the title implies, we begin the Voyage Of The Dawn Treader.  But we also have Navy Lark in which Commander Murray returns from his honeymoon, we conclude An Utterly Impartial History in which John OFarrell discusses Britain's finest hour we have another supberbly messed up play from the Prunes in which British rail is completely panned and makes me wonder if BR is still just as awful as it sounded in 1970 and we take a deeper look at Chief Inspector West courtessy of Julie Anne in Australia.  Plenty to enjoy why not sit down?

I don't mind saying as I open this week I miss you in fact if you want a full story of what's going on listen to the first twenty minutes if not hey the shows start twenty minutes in.  We get to learn a bit about jimi Hendrix and Lory Lee this week so enjoy

This episode is due in large part to German professor Margaret Dorsch of bethany College and her persistance that her German 1 class attend her Thursdaay night foreign film club during the autumn of 1991.  I have no ideaa where the Frau is these days but I hope she finds this and is doing well.  For if it weren't for her and John Paulsen's exhustive work on subtitles I would never have found Colnel Redl so interesting as to one day present a drama on the same subject this one thankfully in English.  Work projects are slowing down so more brunch to come.

This week we replay Lady of The Lake by Raymond Chandler in honor of our recent trip to Lake Arrowhead.  Enjoy

We've returned after to long a break this time to complete Nightfall.  As it's been so long we've just given you the entire drama.  Please enjoy this almost three hour podcast.  Thanks for being so understanding.

So it's been a while I know.  This episode was recorded in July ... yes Julybut with some interesting work set backs and a medical setback on the part of the host I'll explain all next episode this took a while to publish.  Just a heads up we're headed for vacation in a couple weeks for some much needed rest.  But you aren't interested in that so let's talk about the show.  We start with the Embassy Lark and another of King Hildebrand's skemes then it's time for the Ovaltine League a program so fresh that while it's not BBC it's worth a listen.  We end by beginning Nightfall a Batman comic book BBC dramatized back in the eighties.  Enjoy.

This week we begin the second series of the Embassy Lark from January 17 of 1967.  We end with Smiley's People and a big preview for next week.  Also huge congrats go to Julie Anne brunch co host for getting asked a question and more importantly saying yes.  Enjoy

Our goodbye will be brief as next week we're off to Tratvia for the second series.  If you're wondering if it's a late night in June and Matty's publishing some shows that have literally been waiting the answer is you're right.  Please enjoy.

Why is Commander Povy getting rid of Pertwy?  Also listen to the next George Smiley drama.  Enjoy

This week the host looks at you the listener and asks who you are you won't believe what PDM has found out

As much as I hate to admit it the shorter format works we continue The Honorary schoolboy and we run in to some British embassy workers from jTratvia.  Enjoy

Sorry for the lateness of this episode.  But we're back and on time well weekend on time that is with the conclussion of Prince Caspian.  We also have a fun Navy Lark episode in which Commander Murray gets married to Rita, a look at Billy Bunter from Radio Prune and a look at the Battle of hastings with our utterly impartial look at British history.  Enjoy.  

This week we begin The Honourable Schoolboy and in the Navy Lark we marvel at Mr. Philip's promotion.  Also listener Duncan gets his email replied to ... sort of but what a wonderful email.  #pm17fun

This was recorded long before I had a chance to publish.  We conclude Foundation and Whimsay plus an hour of Navy Lark? Why?  Because.

This week PDM and I are off to Westfest the place I learned seven years ago that my heart was stolen.  Please enjoy this episode and learn what dietary change I'm making.  Any tips from you will help.  Thanks

This week it's more of what you know and love plus congratulations to Lincoln City and why I enjoy Lancashire cricket.

This week we explain the video you may or may not have seen.  Plus we'll put pm17 to bed before it even arrives in Anaheim this summer.  The best part is we've got our shows including Eric Troup's favorite detective.

So this week we began something Matt thought we'd never do.  A go fund me account.  He was questioning it at time of recording but with podcast movement so close and with he and PDM knowing they couldn't afford it themselves well he's decided to try and raise the money.  If you're interested in helping go to www.gofundme.com and search for Matt Cox or podcast movement registration fees.  PDM will put the link in facebook later this week.  Now that we have that advertisement out of the way we got more Foundation we'll start more Peter Whimsay yes Zeek has pull around here or is the correct word tug?  Then it's Navy Lark and we continue Foundation.  Please enjoy. 

This week we conclude Have His Caarcas.  We also have Navy Lark learn about Julius Cesar as only the prunes know how and enjoy part 3 of Foundation.

This week we continue Foundation and conclude Have His Carcass.  We also find out why Troutbridge is not going to the Med.  A historical look at Julius is included as only the prunes know how.

This week besides continuing our Whimsay story we're beginning to rerun Isaac Asimov's Foundation trilogy in better sound.  It was a request so often made I promised to do it as soon as possible.  Sadly we say goodbye to the lads in Tratvia for the first series but we also have an Agatha Sotheby thriller and get a little closer to our murderer.  Enjoy

This weekend something happened that really angered Matt Cox.  You'll hear all about it after we've listened to I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again from April 18 1966 and it will replace our usual documentary.  Whether you agree or disagree with Mr. Cox we hope that you'll at least lend him your ear.  Matt has applied to speak on podcasting with a disability at this summer's podcast movement convention in Anaheim.  Whether he gets it or not remains to be seen but we hope to see you this summer in August at the Anaheim Marriott.  Please don't worry we get to feeling better with Embassy Lark from May 31 of 1966 and we learn of a Dutiful Son in Have His Carcass.  Please enjoy.

This week we begin with spies aboard Troutbridge, then we get an altered history lesson about charterism, we hear Tales Of The Circus in I'm Sorry I'll Reaad That Again conclude Inspector West At Bay and begin Prince Caspian.  Plenty to like oh and we're caught up too.  Enjoy.

This week Matt Cox and John Lingard do what they do best ... talk.  About Brexit, the improbable rise of the Lincoln football club and a host of British radio and telivission.  Also you'll hear part 2 of Have His Carcas enjoy an Embassy Party and finish This Sceptred Isle.  Yes ... finish it.  Enjoy.

When Zeek the Dog asks for stuff it gets done.  When I married PDM I asked my best friend of 37 years to stand with me as mmy best man.  He said yes on one condition.  That we continue whaat FFred Bertelsen started and continue the Lord Peter Whimsay cannon here on Brunch.  Yes Eric Troup asked for his Lordship practically implored so ... like any good firend I've complied.  Enjoy Have His Carcass Eric the next few weeks are for you.

We'll also as what became of an old Radio Netherlands presenter from bygone days and listen to two Embassy Larks plus the story of Ali BABa enjoy.

This week on Brunch With The Brits it's part 2 of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy but first we'll learn about Queen Victoria's sixtieth year in office, and begin unraveling the plot of Moris Prune while we listen to a parody of Moll Flanders.  Simon Russel Beal again plays Smiley.  Enjoy.

This week I was delayed somewhat by a huge ice storm.  If Jane my boss hears this and I hope she does it was a real pleasure to help out and I'm glad I could.  However as you'll hear in the beginning this led to a complete rebuild of what was supposed to be an exciting show talking about Brexit how the US elections were seen in Britain and Lincoln City's amazing third round win in the FA cup.  Instead well havea listen and see how the host comes through  Producer Director Maria always says you can make a good meaal with summer sausage, chese, crackers and fruit and I believe qwe've done just that to share the shows would ruin the surprise.  John has been contacted and he'll be joinus us soon.  Enjoy

We'll also end Journey In To Space for the time being.  Hope all  of you hd nice holidays.  Enjoy.

I'd like to begin by wishing all of you the most wonderful holiday season imaginable.  As Maria and I begin our first Christmas well our first joint Christmas we present a documentary on the Hebejeebees we learn about Queen Victoria's jubilee try and figure out why Lady Daaphne is caught up in a Tratvian bus strike wonder if rocket ship Luna will ever return to Eaarth 1965 and finally well give you a real Christmas ghost story.  God bless us every one.

I have to be honest in writing that this has got to be my favorite BBC light play that has to do with the warmth of the holidays.  Here's hoping your holidays are warm as we also continue Journey In to Space we're almost done with the first series we conclude Radio Active the first series we're off to London with Sir Jeremy Crighton Buller and we learn about Lord Salisbury in Sceptred Isle.  Plenty to keep you entertained and please enjoy it.  Thanks as always for the privelidge of your time. 

That is the title of our Daunt and Dervish case and it marks the end of our Daunt and Dervish series for this time.  We have a complete Embassy Lark for you listen to our old friends from a certain naval frigate.  Also we continue our Journey In To Space study news with the Radioactive team and we learn about General Gordon and Kartoum.  Enjoy it's a good long program Lord Rudy.

As Julie Anne promised we continue Journey In To Space we also listen to the original pilot episode of Radioactive we begin larking with a British embassy in a mythical central European country and we revisit Daunt And Dervish.  Enjoy

We've promised for years we'd start this and thanks to Julie Anne Watson we have.  She's going to present the first four episodes of Operation Luna from her studios in Western Australia and I promise when I return on 400 I'll continue the story.  Thank you so much Julie Anne for your contributiion while I'm away you help make the bwtb team what it is.  I'd also like to mention that this is Julie Anne's first full show with us and we've welcomed her contributions in the past.  A knowledgeable otr resource for British and Australian shows it's a pleasure to have her with us this week.  So join me in welcoming Julie Anne to our team.

If you are an old time radio fan as I am then the Gassman brothers really need no introduction.  However if you're new to their voices then a small intro may be needed.  They've hosted an old time radio show on public radio here in Southern California since 1982 called Same Time Same Station and while it's on line now here on yesterdayusa.com or at radiooutofthepast.org their knowledge of otr is truly insightful and wonderful.  Well this week we're discussing British personalities who moved to America and we'll hear a Bob Hope show featuring Barel Davis as its singer we'll hear the blitz of London as CBS news covered it we'll listen to some Al Boly music and hear about an English magazine dedicated to to the British dance band sounds of the twenties and thirties and we'll conclude with The Campbellwell Poisoner fromm The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.  Yes it's different but I can already tell you they will be asked back.  You see this is a subject we can continue as we move in to the 400s.  So thanks John and Larry you could have said no with a barbershop harmony convention coming up.  We apreciate it greatly.  Enjoy

This week from stately Lingard Towers we're treated to more then a few treats but beware behind the treats there are a few tricks as well.  In keeping with the season we'll listen to a Wilkie Collins dramatization of The Haunted Hotel but we'll have time to laugh with Radioactive who said people from Oxford weren't funny hear a reading from Lincoln City Radio of Philip K Dick's The I's have it and conclude with a radio play entitled Bah Bah Black Sheep which in my opinion is good enough for BBC you be the judge.  Either way you feel John needs to be thanked for his hard work allowing me to step away for a bit.  Thank you John

This week it's Stephen King's Misery a Dirk Mags play done for World Service.  While we have no broadcast daate it's a great work and makes us want to play more World Service in the future.  This is also my last show until after the wedding so we'll also get in some Sceptred Isle in which Victoria becomes Empress of India.  Enjoy

We conclude the Secret Of Chimneys today and who knows more Christy may be on the way ... on the main show.

A gunshot and Cade is innocent.  What is going on At Chimneys?  Enjoy the second episode of a Christy Thriller a little dated but fun none the less

This week we debut a new documentary which is a companion to an audiobook I discovered on my recent flight to Kansas.  It's called An Utterly And Impartial History of Britain and we look at the first episode from 2007.  We go spycatching with Troutbridge's crew from Feb 22 1970 engage in the Canterbury Tales with the Radio Prune Crew from JFeb 22 1970 we continue our Inspector West mystery from 1969 as we listen to Part 6 of Inspector West At Bay and we begin The Horse And His Boy in our look at Narnia.  Lots to sink in to enjoy.

This is one of my absolutely favorite BBC actors.  You'll all remember mr. Livingstone as Weller in the Pickwick Papers and here he plays an older coal miner going back to his village where he served during WWiI yes I'm a sentimentalist I admit.  We also conclude Hancock and have a history lesson thrown in as well.  Enjoy and sorry for the tardiness this week.  Wedding stuff you know ... wink

Join us for a three part Agatha Christy extravaganza.  Rather then present babt weeekly we're going for fewer books but a daily format.  Enjoy

We conclude Smith in the city but before that some well deserved Hancock as we talk about the lad's taking over a major newspaper and the fact that Mayor James wishes to turn the lad's home in to a dog track.  Enjoy
