Show Notes
A BONUS episode on the MAIN feed? Can they do that? We're too busy letting the Christmas pudding settle and muttering "I suppose I'LL do this then" while picking up all the wrapping paper to record a new episode this week. Instead, have one of our best Finest episodes from behind the paywall: A history of Charlotte's BBC show Chartjackers, where she tried to get a song to the top of the charts using only the mystical new power of something called "You Tube." If you liked this episode, think about how many MORE episodes you can unlock by signing up for our Patreon! Prices increase for new members on January 1st, so act now. We'll be back next week with new episodes of the show! Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for weekly bonus episodes, and video too!

More from What's All This Then with Charlotte McDonnell and Libby Watson
Arrrroughuhuhhghhhh that sucks! Stop it that sucks! Is what I'd say if I was stuck in the Wicker Man, probably through some mistaken identity, because I would've just left those guys alone with their fruit if I'm honest. We're joined by Max Read, author of Read Max, to discuss the classic British horror film and Christopher Lee's excellent big hair. Plus, the gurning champnionships.

Neoneo, neo! Neo! Is the kind of thing Neopets would say if they were Pokemon, but of course they are not as good as Pokemon. They are just PNGs on a webpage. And there are millions of them rotting away in locked accounts. We're joined by return guest Alec Robbins, author of CRIMEHOT and narrative director at Squanch Games, to discuss the early 2000s browser game sensation. Back when you literally only had Internet Explorer and you were thankful for it. (And yes, it is British.) Plus, where did Keep Calm and Carry On come from?

Bing Bong Boohbah! Is not what any of the Boohbahs would say because that's not one of their names but I don't honestly remember what their names are. Bibbo? Something like that. We're joined by Jamie Loftus, host of the Bechdel Cast and author of the book Raw Dog and the forthcoming novel The Tower, plus like forty billion other things, to discuss the Teletubbies' weird cousin Boohbah. They are atoms of light and also furry aliens, or something. Plus, what the HELL is received pronunciation? Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for weekly bonus episodes, and video too!

NOT ON MY FINE CHINA!!! Is what I'd say if you were putting your bloody nasty chips and minging gravy on my beautiful inherited dishware, and also I was Hyacinth Bucket. Which I'm not, because, as you know, I'm NOT posh. We're joined by our Third Bird and the creator and host of So You Wanna Win A Penis Pump, Demi Lardner, to discuss a classic and iconic British sitcom. Plus, a two-for-one Thought of the Week, featuring an update on Caesar the Gorilla. Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for weekly bonus episodes, and video too!

Whey aye man, I'm feelin' proper mortal! Is a phrase probably used 10000 times throughout the 26 seasons of Geordie Shore. We're joined by podcaster Will Weldon, host of I Hate Bill Maher, to discuss a truly nasty reality show where Geordies get drunk and, occasionally, suck off a dildo. Plus, that time a guy broke into Buckingham Palace (twice). Support us at patreon.com/whatsallthisthen for weekly bonus episodes, and video too!
