Welcome back to the Sunday Service with Church and Vickers - we hope you’ve all had a peaceful cricketing week and a VERY joyous Christmas. This week is the big one. Some might even say it's monumental. It is, of course, the highly awaited Christmas special. And to mark this special day, Church and Vickers were treated to TWO guests. Beaming in from Melbourne, fresh after a 20-'wicketed' day at the MCG, Daniel Norcross and Andy Zaltzman continued to grace the airwaves long after their working day had concluded. The two Test Match Special giants debriefed the current tour down under, from England's woes both on and off the field, to Andy's masterful 5-course Christmas lunch, and Dan's involvement with the incredible Barmy Army. Andy discusses how his love for numbers, comedy, and cricket culminated in his arrival at the BBC, and Dan recounts orchestrating 1500 'Barmies' in a series of songs on Christmas Day. Also on the episode, Hector remedies his disappointing observations last week with a highlights reel from the IPL auction, Churchy frames the current state of affairs down under, and Hector whips out the quiz book. Church's sermon this week looks into the New Year, AND... it is finally here! Christmas has been and gone, but for one lucky listener, the celebrations are only just beginning. In a dramatic wheelspin, Church and Vickers reveal the winner of this year's Christmas Quiz. Thanks to our amazing sponsors at Newbery Cricket, the winner is taking home one of their fantastic Navarone cricket bats. Disclaimer: Make sure to look out for competitions in the New Year to be in with a chance of winning some premium cricket equipment.

#551 Human Dodecapede - Richard has a new notebook and is making jokes that were topical in November 2024 (and probably still are) and has met one of his sporting heroes, for whom Rich is an unlikely hero. His guest this week is cricket statistician Andy Zaltzman. They talk about what it is to be a Taskmaster Champion, who might have had the most awkward introduction to their team on the show and the power of dressing like a snooker player. Also how Andy landed what must have been his two dream jobs, how to improve the game Howzat, self-playing Subbuteo, whether John Oliver is in danger in the USA, how Zaltzman has been podcasting even longer than the Podfather, whether cricket pads to Pakistan is coals to Newcastle and some unusual picks for a perennial qesugtion.
