麻豆约拍

In the words of Count Arthur, 'Christmas isn't just about charity, it is about baby Judas riding a donkey'. To celebrate in style, Arthur heads to the pound shop for his Christmas gifts.

Count Arthur and his erstwhile prot茅g茅 Malcolm (Terry Kilkelly) are surrounded by a host of regular characters created by his Radio Repertory Company - Mel Giedroyc, Alastair Kerr and Dave Mounfield. Dave, who played among others the much-loved characters Jerry and Geoffrey, sadly died in March 2020. His final Count Arthur recordings were two Christmas specials recorded in Autumn 2019, the first of which aired on Christmas Day 2019 - the second airs this festive season. This 2020 hybrid return of the ever-popular family friendly sitcom is dedicated to Dave's memory.

The long running series first aired on 麻豆约拍 Radio 4 in 2005 and ran for seven series until the former variety star transferred to 麻豆约拍 TV in his eponymous sitcom in 2013. A TV series that started out on 麻豆约拍2 and transferred to 麻豆约拍1, running for three series until 2017. The 52 episodes of Count Arthur Strong鈥檚 Radio Show! comprise seven series and ten specials since the programme first aired fifteen years ago.
