In our Season One finale, we talk about Tumbler's spectacular 12 hour-long 114th anniversary TV special. Airing on Christmas Day 2016 and honouring not only Tumbler’s Willy but also Sir Isaac Newton and (accidentally) James Bond, it was a glittering and emotional night of stars both past and present, alive and dead.

No advance fanfare. No publicity. Just David Hunch and Simon Feathers traveling around Britain in a little wooden wagon pulled by the faithful shire horses Jiminy and Rhubarb, and a stripped-down cast of characters including Tumbler himself, Postmistress Millie, Hoffman the angry German barkeep, and a brand-new character, the Magic Wizard. Through these intimate, spiritual shows, performed to crowds of one or two hundred villagers in fields and meadows, David Hunch sought a deeper communion with his audience than TV could ever provide. And yet, within the space of just a few years it was all to go horribly, spectacularly wrong. Follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, and of course at Tumblerswilly.com

Tumbler's goes looking for a new director, and they find one by sticking a pin in a map.

Together they take Tumbler's on the road once again reinventing the show that reinvented the entire concept of reinvention.

At the start of the 1982 season, a new character, socialite Helena Brooke-Partridge, delivered a line that every Tumblehead now knows by heart: “Let’s have a garden party.” But behind the seemingly endless preparations for this spectacularly predictable party, there lurked a chilling agenda.
