thank you Ok wow thank you thank you thank you our illustrious. Thank you our illustrious. Start Me Up is. B.b.c. Radio. Main a Macand I ever knew. Despite the grotty weather I'm joined now by at Chico who is also made manifest pull here you impossibly know from time to for t.v. Show hunted because he's one of the fugitive hunters but you are now Paul going to bring us some festive chair. So I found an article that was about Christmas present sort of then and now and how it should have gone from wanting it to prime space office and 7 is the $200.00 pound in $10.00 today. It was quite quite nostalgic when you go through it and it starts at 970. And then so if you pick things like Cindy dolls I remember I was very into Cindy over Barbie as a kid I think I had a pop star Cindy and she was like my favorite one she'd like a metallic green jacket a little tiny gold microphone and she was the price Cindy darling because you know . I now find it I didn't mind Barbie but I just. She had a member Homs just like this. She's ready to do stuff so I think I have a shit just. So. Now who so gives sort of prices on that let's have a look so twister the game Twister when that came out in the mid seventies that was one pound $35.00 what a bargain bargain here all right and I swear I thought 13 pounds 71 and there was a thing that the Sony Walkman that was a big one was a big deal it was a big Christmas present. The Atari Yes I don't know that they're sorry it rings a huge bell from a vessel that's super basic groundhogs super bass again I think if you got a top of the range then oh yeah yeah I'm really I'm a massive. Lot Star Wars figures and I think that the Millennium Falcon as they were huge sort of mid seventies is this still fall never actually would be on people's Christmas list this year so for me something like Twister I would say is probably still as popular it now as it was back then yeah I wanted to be Ok I love it that's wrister Yeah it was Star Wars stuff still sells isn't it so yeah the films are still out like having a full can so I mean when I was a kid and it was 16 pounds 33 in 1979 was worth 80 quid so I think that equivalent now. Connect for young love a bit kind of very competitive so don't take me on I'm actually 1978 cost 2 pounds 64 so I need 15 quid now Hungry Hippos love to be hungry hippos I think that go on we used to have and I don't know if they still do this in schools now the last day of term before Christmas and the last day before summer holidays we have games day at primary school yeah and so I want to bring in the games and I'm sure Hungry Hippos got bond because it is to know when you. Think of a frog equivalent as well I've seen the funky frog thing really. Try to this is this what you saying Mr Frosty Mr 1st Mr 1st day was the one present the I swear I asked for year after year after year as a kid and never got it and I know people how do you said actually because it was one it almost made you like the Slush Puppy starlike flavored ice type drink I remember people how does it actually wasn't not nice and if they were just telling me that tried made me feel better about it yeah that's that's that's the sad one I missed that would cost $10.00 pounds 50 in 1980. Which is the credit of $43.00 pounds $73.00 I mean I won't be paying $43.00. How would you feel if it was tucked under the tree for you know wrapped up nicely if you will wait I feel like it would be quite nice because like I say it is one of those things I actually remember going I really wanted done never got it what was your favorite Christmas present from your childhood like if you look back and think back to Christmas is gone by is there a present that really stands out that you love it. For me it was a little fold a white doll's house it was a tiny want it so basically like a suitcase and when you wanted a doll's house my brother smashed. Smushing I know I was always so distraught for days and the reason he smashed is because I think he got scared like tricks and something came undone it broke and then he thought wow it's not fair on him so he was like you know his good time on against the wall and I'm not the only reason I remember it so yeah because he destroyed it Christmas Well I got a Christmas card I came back to them as well and Paul I leave any fall no child yes I was in my present me always wanted a grey playing grey trucks with trucks. So I complained I. Conversed because in Rocky 2 he was. Playing great tracks cause I wanted to be rocky I wanted to run that so I thought it was not so nice thoughts about going for a ride was in line for the. Track a 100 times but I was right so you try to make faces that you've got to be kidding to some record so when we play the film I want to take because that's where you could press record and we called the so the soundtrack from the film with another soundtrack so I record them so when he was training into his car so I don't know I play that and I really am stuck on the fact that what I asked was How do you know what was your favorite This was I didn't know I'm. Right Track me say 1st of all it's because it takes a chick is in itself I mean was a rapper I think you know what this is the proof as well because actually a Christmas often with children that you know they'll have these big like wild ideas of all these Christmas presents but actually sometimes the ones that they love the most all the silly little simple things like a great. Writer I mean when I look at. A student chasing chickens up the river. That's right folks are going to as we've been talking about Christmas let's. Refresh Christmas number one as bad as space travel already. Space. On a ship from. Cheers just senses this stuff. Good to. John Givens Nina Nesbitt spacemen came travelling on b.b.c. Radio last name we count with you joined by Cheek also made manifest and Paul professional photographer and professional fugitive Hunter professional Yeah well you all get paid to do it for a living. Now you wanted to talk about the official top 10 Christmas films and how the list maybe compares with your own favorite so yes I got to go with it and see what other people's are some I haven't seen like some classics like White Christmas I don't feel like this Oh yes he does want to live on or it's all you know either you know well we're talking about this today so the thing that puts me off some of the older films is that they really long but actually it's a wonderful life isn't too bad and they show it at the Phoenix in Leicester on Christmas Eve And it's so lovely festive bars with get mowed wine take in the cinema just a wonderful life and yes I would say it's a it's a essential to your Christmas book at least of films I think most people have that when it was like that would always come up but I'm not sure Warner put them in but this is my list so I've got controversial so the Grinch Jim Carrey left a Grand National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation Yeah lethal weapon. So. The film was and yeah I feel sorry for your Christmas is it yes of course to actually a Christmas thing but can it go in the Christmas list this is wait it is lethal weapon or die hard because this is taught in the heart like no it's not it is a Christmas Hagar Christmas film don't have to Christmas well. So I'm a bit rubbish at this because I haven't seen Die Hard or Lethal Weapon So why couldn't I call tell you whether it's a Christmas film or not a Christmas will my instinct says it's not a Christmas Well I don't think it's Christmas so I think the insight right what you could work on is that all right Ok Ok Ok you know. Let's do that Trading Places Oh you. Know I have never seen Trading Places like the best ever Ok I have a rubbish it is one of the best it's not one of my number one top films of all time he said Christmas film it was yeah yeah yeah Ok. Thanks I'm going to every You're going to say is it enough for you to go home the line up. Is On new. Day. Now this one you might say because of the Nightmare Before Christmas kind of nation I think that is a Christmas film and I really like the not that for Christmas I mean it's kind of a dog and and different version of a Christmas film but I like not to focus my timberlands legend as an elf good day. Yeah when I did and then so so there's 9 and then it will happen but then I thought if I don't see it and. But the description they but I'm quite a softy really oh so we want to see last Christmas so we can do. So with a night was quite right for us and last Christmas is there is the one with all the George Michael music so sometimes Breeden I'm really keen to go see it as a big fan of Ga Ga Ga But while yeah sometimes brilliant. And it is really what on the acting's is good. It was my 1st cinema visit so I put it on my list fast and that way as a 1st I'm going to see what you know what I'm on the right. Sorry it's. Not the 1st I think this has got a much better oh wow Ok and so was it actually wanted Leslie which is actually very cool with all these really lovely reclining say it's every house and you can drink a beer will have to answer Yes I was thinking about it now she actually printed emetic out that load I think about it I don't think we have I think any time we've been to the cinema even with him with the children always friends or with friends and their children I don't I have to go and ask him. I think I'm only going to climb. Yeah yeah how are you going to get there so I think I think we've been together about 40 years. But when I say I want to tell a. Server Yeah Ok yeah so you know it's taking you a you to go on a cinema date but when you 1st kind of dating someone you feel like that's kind of an early doors day although I always think it's better rubbish called early day isn't it because you don't we talk to each other I think yeah I agree with you and also I think it depends on where you have coming from this is the time when I met when we met I was really into fitness at the time so everything we did was outdoors it was playing badminton and it was you know no time in those wall things yes they can now. See things so yes I think about it can and I can I can see how that would slip for them as a 1st date because all in the court and start yeah but was it was it nice after after a break from the cinema to guy and like you say half a day now and have a baby I worked in the film and I was great I think as well you know certainly when I read on the set of my Leicester friend yeah that's because on his feet yeah it's very nice expresses very relaxed. And it has not worked out well quite outdoors he will go off and off and hikes and and so we are really busy are always going to do really busy stuff but actually it was nice a kind of I was just so sad because a lot of stick that in my list now so so was it I mean it must have been good to have for it to have made your top 10. Yeah I mean. Did you cry at night because I think there was a little bit of a twist at the end people to tell you made this is twisted and that makes meeting all some about is going to help and it's not the most cheerful ending oh yeah I want spoiler Ok nothing's been. Well. I can do it like I'm neither can I I think I am I never. Liked going to supply teaching I don't want people to my attention Emma Thompson I think when it came up I think she wrote or co-wrote it and she's brilliant and she's brilliant at it the most of the show stealer she's like good yeah I can say chick you had a new story on your list that is festive related. A year prank would you have a prank. And I should probably kill me. Because why don't I can't believe that one man has found the time all the energy to do what he has done to his wife but he has city to chair so what he did was he took several Now think a couple of hours it was the day he gift wrapped the whole kitchen. And I mean and . Every inch of the kitchen all the floor everything and then he even went and. Bought the knives full of fruit the fruit by me individual piece of fruit in the fruit Oh well I am gay for a right and in this like traditional kind of festive Christmas paper so the wife's she comes home. She's hold on a minute takes a picture ends up going viral on social media but the next reaction most people were just saying that's brilliant you know fantastic great prank but then on the other side the people saying you know what about the environment or the Yeah Yeah and yeah well let's hope he used recyclable paper because I made it this year of my conscious effort most of them all most of them all but a lot of the ones now that you can get like you know almost like the traditional way around patient ones the well not all hope is recyclable anyway except boy for that reason because I thought it was one of the showing me ones. But yeah. We started this by saying in descent that you you you lose a week's worth of sleep because. I guess. That's how. Much for coming in today it's been lovely to see you again she got to meet you pole and office a very crisp Christmas thanks. Can Radio.
