Radio London it's 4 minutes past ham. Radio 94.9 F.M. Band on B.B.C. Sounds this is London this is B.B.C. Radio London was Elam's. Good morning London I'm Robert Elms. Just in case you hadn't noticed Christmas is coming. Exactly one week away is it. Yet next year is that right. On any shopping yet. But I don't want to talk about Christmas shopping today. Only talk about Christmas giving. Whether it's giving your time or giving your money. Giving to charity or just giving your love. What do you do what have you done. To spread goodwill in this season. And then some women. Seriously though if you have a helped out one you know I did I go on about it every year if it makes me sound like a sign one year about 30 years ago I did the. Chere it Christmas they may you help him Miss it was before I got married. And it was fantastic other look back on it with huge. Kind of fondness. Now I feel bad for not having done it since. I always do and we always do a lot on the show with we've crisis and helping out which are is a Christmas. What do you do what have you done any of you doing that thing where you don't give presents this year but instead you give to charity or you buy things there all the selves to help others. We're going to talk to people about that. We're going to talk to Meg Doherty is the founder of fat my seas which is a social enterprise so even delicious home cooked food. Groups are going to. See is the policy and public affairs manager for crisis at Christmas. But I'd really like to talk to you I think many of us have a feeling at the moment Vanessa was talking about this earlier today. We've got to got the stuff that we won't know everybody is going to stuff they want I expect understand that internally it's funny and people could do with some more stuff but plenty of us are feeling a bit stuffed bell stuffed up. Overstuffed. And saw who might be instead of asking for presents so buying presents you could do something else we had to wash. I'd love to hear from you if you got any alternative ways to give a Christmas Ruth are going to hear from Professor Maxwell Hutchinson. Who is definitely a man of good Christian Y. e S. . But we're not just doing that we're also hearing from Max out in zoos an excellent singer songwriter formerly of an hour in the wild. And we're going to talk to cash a Delgado from the Radio Times about the best television and maybe even a bit of radio of the Christmas period. But most of all want like to talk to you on our 87312000. Of course you can always e-mail Robert Elms at B.B.C. . Actually what I'd like for Christmas is a jazz album with no drum solos on. A very hard thing to find. I say yay yay here on the show on B.B.C. Radio London I'm going to run through today's running order one more time I want to call we'll be joined by Max how ins for the last half an hour and we singing and playing live from his debut solo album whiskey and orchids. Whiskey but do like all kids we'll also be joined by Max a lot since an architect of this parish of course and by Keshi Delgado commissioning editor at the Radio Times to look at the shows that are on and the films and whatever they're on over Christmas so the traditional and you'll thing to do but as well as all of that we're going to be talking about giving Christmas and different ways of giving Christmas. Do you do anything for charity over Christmas do you this year are you deciding not to give presents and instead to help out on and I whatever is your favorite cause will you be volunteering any time over Christmas let us know let's add love to hear from you if any of that is the case on our 807312000 we're going to be talking as part of that so you have a galaxy from crisis and also to make Dottie who's the founder of something called facts Macy's So all of that coming up on the show on B.B.C. Radio London plus of course some of the splendid music. Has gone a flagpole. But it's raining and. Raining on mine. Says the. Rain and. Rain. Coming. I. Mean stay. With. Comes it's Friday and. Brain in LA. It's for. Re-action mom mom. Dad. Len mom. Buddy Holly. A one good report on. Here on the show and it's raining in my heart every Saturday on the show we pick up on some what we call unsung Londoners and we highlight somebody who does stuff good stuff here in the city of Alice usually to help other people and it is it never ceases to amaze me just how. Collectively I think coined we are in this city how many people are out there doing stuff for others how many fantastic char is there are but it isn't just charities it's also these days one is social enterprises which is on the borderline I guess between businesses but business is a conscience businesses that want to help other people businesses for whom profit is not the primary motivation and we're about to go about one of those because on the line now we've made the hood see who is the founder of fat mice is Good morning to make good morning to you so 1st of all tell us what. Yes where institutions price catering company and so we operate in the same way that any of the catering company worked even if we catch the parties ready and supper clubs across London but what makes this a bit different is that as you said recession priced so they were quite young and those living in temporary temperate combination now and the 2 felt it's best to get people trained up to get to black experience and get people back in the last place and sort of reintegrating but also what we fundamentally it is try to get people having deposit say a big part of what we're looking to do is really trying to create systematic change for the people that we work with and helping them to safer housing because it while they work with us how do you get in touch with the people how did the people come to you what's the process so we work directly with hostels so before starting left I was wacky and I had a story and it sort of shocked me how many amazing things existed but how little they managed to get through to the people that they were trying to reach and so we run these training camps in the hostel so we go in to fight off to go out and do a very sort of intensive catering and training camp and that's sort of where we also find the people that we want to work with and invite them along the events that we've had what kind of a HUGE of people are we talking about. Yeah it's quite a big range so the youngest of action with a sort of a team and it goes up to. About that shy but that only because there's the hostels that we've worked with and lots of different also have different sort of age ranges but yeah it's sort of the younger and Aspies of people when you're running a a social enterprise is there ever a dollar more between what's more simple is it most important to do the good stuff or is it possible to be a good business if you see what I mean yeah yeah definitely I think it's one of the biggest challenges that face is also shouldn't prices because we've sort of got a double bottom line you've always got to think about the profit and your business in the same way that anyone else does because of a competitive. People have got to work so it works with us because just rely on the charity caught the whole time. But it was a fundamentally we exist because we have a social mission and later we believe that business can be good and so that part of it is super important for us as well and so you're always thinking about your trainees and ensuring that they're getting as much of it as. You want and really ensuring that you have that social impact that. I suppose is also part of what you're selling you're sort of selling the story of the work that you're doing and so you need to ensure that that's happening as well but the tension is yeah it's very real and it is often a bit it's a bit difficult to weigh up the best I guess in some sense if you have an advantage in that some people are going to book you for their event or their supper club of whatever is because of the social aspects of what you do yet ready for and you get the food not good enough. Yeah exactly and I think we definitely in the early days had that issue because people so I know it's a great cause we'd love to come but people just assume the food wouldn't be good and I think there's definitely that element if you're doing a charity thing people are happy to go along because it's sort of social and has a good cause. But people sort of assume for a really long time that the future is going to be terrible we've done quite a lot of work really pushing the business side to prove that you know we work the amazing shaft you work with people it worked in some of the best restaurants in the . And our food is as good as if not better than a lot of the catering companies that exist in London but yeah you've definitely got to sort of prove that to people. And that's sort of a challenge to the people the young people that you work with by trying to start a ministry or is it that I commonly work with you for a while I'm in the move on to something else he has a real mixture and so I think there's a big lathe at the level especially with the accept a lot of people in the hospitality industry are really concerned about stuff where they're going to get stuff from life as it's a great opportunity with but with lots of partners who are really looking to recruit from outreach great and you know we've had people come on so I can really create restaurants and cafes and all the rest but we're not sort of prescriptive so we know that every work was different they've all come from different places and they've all got different and it's sort of a mixture I'd say about $5050.00 for us it was a really easy industry to get into you know it's very easy to get a job at the bottom rung as a part was in any sort of cafe or restaurant you have a huge amount of progression which is what makes it such an appealing industry for people like Chris but I have to be said that traditionally here in Britain we haven't really valued people who work in hospitals in the streets they have work now we have a we're talking about this last my Actually I think it's really still seen as low skilled work which I'm not really so much Yeah exactly and it's really difficult because I mean I would ask anyone who has said we're all standing on your feet for 1st 3 pm 3 to midnight 5 days in a row and call that skills lack it's you know it's challenging at difficult you've got to be one of the over time that money or lack and then you've also got a big you know your best customer service. It's got a sort of talk to everyone and always tell your best form so you know operating lots of different skills at the same time and I do think I think that takes a little bit. I'm thinking. Yeah I have to say. The young people you work with do you ever have to I mean does this ever not work out. You know we've had people I think the biggest problem for us is people we were quick can sometimes get addicted to something because over the past no life and they decide to move to a different area roll or they get moved out of the hostel for whatever reason. And that's always difficult because I think where quite an emetic business which I think I can in a public space the idea that up until now we've been sort of using lots of other ladies and popping up and it's quite difficult if the people you work with also in that sort of slightly memetic. State Yeah that's been times but I think we're really open to see what are the best ways that we can work with people and try and show that what we can offer the young people we work with is what they need and they were quite flexible with that which I think helps and will be busy every Christmas Oh yeah we've been a bit nonstop but if you can have for my voice and make it finally hit me but yet we've done about as I was going about 15 of them this Christmas we've got another 6 to go. And then we'll have an a while does that right. I mean if people are interested either in harboring fat Macy's for an event of the ads or you know in any aspect Akamai find out more yeah so we've got a website you can you can see F. Ing on our website all the things that we do and how to get in touch and also social media so we're all trying to achieve an Instagram. And the as little way to get in touch so yeah please do with the very busy in December as well looking forward to planning any megahertz you have a fantastic Christmas thank you thank you so they go north like the meadow is the founder of fat my cs I think the point here really is that there are lots of things you can do you don't have you know there are people of the Christmas period. Will give up their time who will spend all of their time helping the homeless or helping people who are lonely or whatever but there's also lots of little things you can do you don't necessarily have to to give everything and I think we all would like just to explore some of the ways like my daughter this year. Or the present she bore a been bought from a social enterprise is to help various causes so every single present and that kind of comes as a bonus because you get the thing that she's bought but you also get the knowledge that buying that thing is help somebody. So if you've got any examples like that if you're in a business like that or if you're working for a church that tell us less known use us as a platform today because that's what this is all about really and we'd love to hear from you. Give us a call 187312000 or you can e-mail Robert Elms at B.B.C. Dot co dot U.K. And let us know what you're doing who you're giving to over Christmas. Just go on e-mail from Daisy.

Cording said always make me smile Hi this is Michael Radio London. There's definitely a difference of opinion on the top 60 jazz albums. Emma says Please could you do that as I want to buy a jazz record for my partner for Christmas I bought a Miles Davis Kind of Blue last year and he loved it or so he should I actually didn't put kind of blue as much as my in my top 60 but only could I think I was being slightly clever because everyone puts in the tops and said they should is one of 4 picked 2 other Miles Davis albums if you want I'm not about Miles Davis our money is not listening I would get him in asylum why which I just think is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever recorded and so some people are saying yeah we'd love to hear your 60 best jazz records. Whereas Spike says 60 Jack says no spirits please. Shame on you spike that played the trumpet. Another thing for effect yeah if we can find a mechanism of doing that the 60 jazz albums thing the government isn't sharing it with you will just if anyone's interested you know don't have to play the more back to back or else your partner might leave you my wife threatens to leave me on a regular basis when I play John Coltrane or Alba Island both of whom are in there it has to be said. But I will definitely find a mechanism somehow to share those but now I'm going to share something else someone has sent me in a moment pointing something out which is very sad. Was it good one of last. Oh here we go yeah it came from Clyde Clyde says Rob I'm sure you know and I didn't and I feel a bit bad that I didn't He says I'm sure you know it's the anniversary of Kirsty's untimely death today any chance of playing a track called to a wonderful talent taken far too soon. Where you're absolutely right she was just that and she was also a fantastic personality she came on the show lots of times I don't know how many for half a dozen probably over the years and she was always feisty and funny and sick see and great company and and mischievous and incredibly talented and really a nice a really really good person and if you have a if you know the details of how she died it really is it's a tragedy and it's worse than that it's a crime. And yet there's something also very very brave about the way she died so yeah we all miss because the. Economic. Sense of. History. And. The stars. On a. Kid. That . a single. Manxman strangely. I doubt she has something. To say. To it. In Nice shoes. Before we move on I've got an e-mail from Bill in Highbury and I'm excited when you mean Bill he says every year I get my winter fuel allowance to crisis that's a good idea I don't even all got one to talk to my wife about that because I also worked as a volunteer there over 10 years ago but I think of the people I met all the time to this day and I did exactly the same response because I did as well that was more considerably more than 10 years ago before I got married so it was more than 25 years ago and it really that Christmas really did stay with me and I often think of it often think I want to do it again but you know what life's like Anyway something I think we'll be doing over Christmas is surely watching a bit of television even these days of multi decision media that will be put in the television and I shall be sitting in front of it probably ever so slightly neighbor reacted and trying to work my way through a film or an episode of this or the other but what am I going to be watching Well I should ask the lady sitting opposite me early because she's Kasha Delgado she's commissioning editor at the radio tartans and they do T.V. To you know casual come to the show Hi Thank you for having me do you think many people I mean you know obviously we've got to be honest even here at the B.B.C. Willing to live in a very different broadcast age these days and people are watching things on demand and people are using you know computers will sorts of things do you think lots of people will still be sitting down and mark in a copies of Radio Times and and planning their their television viewing of the Christian. Definitely I mean you're right we around watching things on Netflix and Amazon and at Christmas T.V. But we have really every year been so overwhelmed by how many tweets we get how many letters we get with pictures people picture the people highlighting that programs in the radio going to it's a kind of a British Christmas tradition Absolutely and people still do I think it is tradition it's not. Lots and lots of people still buy it so it's also a really good way to kind of bring everyone together everyone sits around watching something and there are programs that you can watch that don't require speaking English and if you've got lots of nationalities in a house like I do watch us great nature programs and you don't have that understanding of the drama that's going on. But I think that's one of the things that commonality is Paul isn't it because we have a very you know very fractured media world now Miles my kids are be watching one thing on something about someone else and something else but Christmas all sitting down in the same room having eaten the same meal and then watching the same television program is somehow kind of part of the process yeah definitely it's a way that everyone could be in the same room you know know your different screens you can kind of be a little bit you know you can have had a few glasses of wine it doesn't matter you don't engage him it's just a kind of more nice thing to do that's one of the reasons over Christmas why I tend to watch films that I've seen before because it doesn't matter if you fall asleep for office you know it's good but and that's why it's nice that Christmas to return to the classics and that's why you know we don't always go into kind of new territory Christmas people remake old things that we loved that and then will love again took us to some of the classics that are on this year so they've remade Watership Down. There quite a sob story about Robert so I really like her do it did upset me a lot as a child actually. Ever recover the right to have a little bit of doubt has a Christmas and also it is about rabbit and it's the reality of what we're doing to the environment but it is beautiful and that some B.B.C. One on the 22nd of December 7 pm That's a good time for kids everyone can watch it. Maybe very young children might be a bit unnerved but it is really beautiful and the cost is so good it's James McAvoy Gemma Arterton Nicholas Hoult John Boy Ben Kingsley well. Isn't it. The other thing that I think really be great for a family maybe you know not kids but once all the kids are going to bed at 9 on Boxing Day John Malkovich is playing well but what's really pressure. On B.B.C. One so is that one off the one off and what's really great about it is that he his star has faded by this point Parise said he's running. And fire is running murder mystery hotel no one's interest. Yet and then he starts getting these really threatening letters from people saying well from someone or people saying I'm going to go on a killing spree and he launches into action gets back on back into his gig get excellent So that's one of programs that I get that's on B.B.C. One on Boxing Day 9 pm You see if only I had my copy with me I could mark it up you know give you a we've got it we've got an email from Mark and eyes were things as my partner and I Jane have a tradition where we buy 2 copies of the Radio Times every Christmas we do the highlighting symbol to me Asli But separate and then we put the tree up and then compare notes of the woods thing and I wonder if that's discord between. You can see if you're well but. That's that she before you get married you should do that exactly it should be compulsory to have. Say I Love keep animals at Christmas I think that's a really nice because we don't have any snow like quite a lot of brain I know some places and already there's this think of spy in the snow which is on B.B.C. One on the 30th of December 7 pm It is the most adorable thing this amazing award winning filmmaker he's made these cameras that he hides in fake animals so in order to observe all these one. Bees in the natural habitat he has hidden a camera inside if they want to be and then he just watches what happens and the one of if there is one of the watch one of the watch that's see authors that it's absolutely. Love with a robotic Wallaby which seems a bit me that's cruel you know a really nice picture of it in the magazine actually it really almost made me tear up. It's really key and also something I'm really excited about Christmas Day that as a drummer about Torvill and Dean this life and that career leading up to when they won that gold skating medal so I don't know anything about total Did they have dramatically Well it's more just about how these 2 people came together and one Olympic gold they weren't married to the just 2 amazing skaters so that will be on I.T.V. And Christmas Day at 915 and it is kind of incredible seeing these people skate like nothing you've ever seen before. So that's the long Christmas what about on demand because you can't you don't have to sit much revenue is doing so much there and you might want to go to another room and. Well they've put back on i Player very English scandal some people have watched it the 1st time around that was a brilliant. Series with he ground Ben wish or all about the politician the 1st ever British politics. Yet to be put on trial for murder oh god I love that it's so good so they kind of made that Christmas tree on i Player put it back on so you can go and just watch that for free Oh if you haven't seen Now I G. To do so it was one of a metaphor the acting was fantastic the story was brilliantly told and it's just a mad story it's completely insane it's classic stranger than fiction really couldn't have made that what I know is that was absolutely brilliant and I have to say I thought who played the lead in grant you Grant was fantastic he's not just the wrong knowing he's not Eason just in Paddington only. We could. And there isn't real ON THE RADIO Yeah at $345.00 on Christmas Day Ross Simon Russell Beale is going to read some adventures the Paddington set the music performed by the B.B.C. Symphony Orchestra which was performed earlier this year and that's going to be really lovely if you want everyone to come down at 345 on Christmas Day You haven't hyped up and you can just listen to really beautiful music and see things stories because if you know you are called the radio so we have to be given a little bit of credence into this one and the other radio things you'd pick up on so there's something that I really like it's a series that. Is on the best year but there's a Christmas special good conversations from a long marriage but what's great about it is Joanna Lumley who is just always amazing and Roger and it's about this couple have been married for 40 years and they kind of trying to reignite the passion in their lives and at Christmas they want to spend the day together and they've got some oysters and they've got some champagne but their friends keep ringing up threatening to come round and kind of ruining that day it's quite funny it's quite hot warming and you just got lots of channel only which is never bad ones that that's on Christmas Eve at 11 30 in the morning and other any of the Classic Movies always the Great Escape told no that was all I mean. So that's a really good one and there's the great escape that as Casino Royale which isn't exactly what the 1st of the kind of Riyadh reboot on I.T.V. And that's on Christmas on the Sunday the 20 said so that's a really nice fun thing to get into what's going on films of yes I must admit Jungle Books on as well the original one just remind the general name of Anya and obviously Mary Poppins in the cinema so you've got a big feature in the magazine is that something is Mary Poppins I'm not the new one but they are the old ones on some point but I think that's also on demand you can get somewhere but the new one is just everyone's talking about parties refusing it now I'm going to see in fact that my entire family. Christmas tree I forced everyone to come with me. So when's the When's the Radio Times out because. And it came out few days guy was is out yet some day beast double shift on hand to come out there she's got one thank you very very much for the should be taken. And we've been hearing about the highlights of Christmas television and radio of course from Catia they'll Golden Question Thank you very very much. And all that an email from Steve the hawks the cabbie is asking a question Steve say is. I've seen on Twitter the Bowie is some Duncan Jones is apparently in talks regarding making a film about his father that got me wondering is a maybe you could put this to your listeners which actor could play David Bowie So if they were making a Bowie bio pic apparently by his own son Duncan Jones is a very good film director because this is a P.S. Duncan Jones supposedly said he wants Idris Elba to play Bowie. Which I think is a fact there's a fascinating idea who would you pick who could play David Bowie it depends I guess whether you want someone who looks like him or someone who can act like him I mean I didn't see the one about Queen because I'm not a fan of Queen but I thought the clips I saw and I saw the trailer for it the guy did look convincingly a lot like Freddie Mercury didn't. Who could play Bowie in a Bowie bio pic do you reckon I'm not very good at this game I never remember actors night. I don't know give us a call and I understood and 312000 or you can e-mail robot elms at B.B.C. Dot co dot U.K. . No PAUL MURPHY I don't think you mean he says he thinks Judi Dench could be. I think you're going too far now. But who could play both I mean having said that. I can never remember any actors or actresses names who's the female actor who played Bob Dylan in one of the films she could do but she could do a really convincing Barry if I could remember and I mean. I think this is interesting so who could play David Bowie were asking you about that we're also asking you. About what you do over Christmas. For others not necessarily a Tilda Swinton Tilda Swinton could do Bowie don't you think I think she'd make a really good DAVID BOWIE I think that's I think I've just come up with a good idea I think we should find somebody and tell them Tilda Swinton are can we be great and I guess the problem is if you're doing a bio pic are you doing it from when they're young to when they're old are you playing David Bowie you know in his sixty's or you playing David Bowie in his twenty's or thirty's. I think this is a really interesting question so if you've got any ideas for that give us a call or send me an email and also as I said if there's anything that you're going to be doing over Christmas for others or any kind of chair is all good causes or good concerns or social enterprises that you would like to draw to our attention.

London's music 11 and Matthew Schofield the cabinets been meeting in the last hour to discuss how to step up preparations for a no deal breaks it yesterday the prime minister revealed M.P.'s will get to vote on her deal in mid January around 10 weeks before exit day but the Conservative M.P. For Putney and former education secretary Justin Greening who wants another referendum says that's too late and parliament may need to sit through Christmas I'm quite happy frankly for us to sit over Christmas and into the new year I think it's totally inappropriate that whilst everyone else will be getting bouts work on the 2nd of January parliament isn't coming back till the 7th all of these things need to be speeded up and we need parliament sitting and taking.
