Taking Hugh for Granted

Red Nose Day Actually – The Christmas Special

Listen on

Episode notes

It's Chrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiisssssstttttttmmaasssssssssss and the boys slip into their Christmas jumpers for the podcast's annual Christmas special. This year we're doing things a little differently. We're sticking with the Love Actually theme (obviously), but we're looking back at Red Nose Day Actually (Richard Curtis, 2017), the 2017 15-minute sequel produced for charity. Most of our favourite characters return, including Hugh Grant as our sexy and noble prime minister, who's prefers throwing dirty dance moves around No.10 Downing Street rather than illegal parties.  

Diggory and Oscar also have a go at a Love Actually quiz, and blimey is it difficult. See how they fare and you can play along yourself at home too, if you reckon your Love Actually knowledge is up to scratch! The quiz starts at the 15:00 mark.

For those of you that want to skip disclaimers, opening theme tunes, salutations, synopses and go straight to the film analysis, head to 04:25.
