The Mr Ps are back with their penultimate episode of 2024 (episode 199, Season 8 Ep 13), recording virtually while Mr P is working away. With just one more episode to go before a big Christmas special and their 200th episode, the brothers reflect on the festive season approaching. They talk about balancing all the added Christmas chaos in school with the usual workload, reassuring everyone feeling the December strain that they’re not alone. 🎄

They put a call out for your best Christmas stories—Nativity nightmares, staff party scandals, pupil overshares, and hilarious parent gifts—to share in the final Christmas-themed episode next week. If you’ve got a tale of seasonal silliness, now’s the time to submit it!

The lads discuss their upcoming live tour, thanking all who’ve already grabbed tickets and encouraging others to get involved. Whether you’re a teacher, school staff member, or just need a night out, they promise it’ll be a fun-filled show, so spread the word.

This week’s ranking takes a Christmassy turn, as they pick their top traditional Christmas carols. From “Away in a Manger” to a few newer discoveries, they debate the best tunes to sing with your class—and to get themselves more into the festive spirit.

As always, we’ve got a mix of listener stories, with a festive flavour. From a Secret Santa dilemma to cringe-worthy moments at school Christmas events, you’ll be laughing while feeling reassured you’re not the only one navigating December’s madness in a school setting.

And keep listening at the end as a special seasonal treat, the lads also rank their top ten Christmas films, do you agree with their choices.
