This this is the tale one of the most challenging dates of my long career. Chance you won't get all those sacks down the chimney and Wongong Christmas was knocking on Wellington's front door. And here are our unfortunate heroes.

I thought I really I should cover off a Christmas film, and I would like to thank actually a Saturday Morning listener Linda last week who suggested that I take a look at this film, and I really love. When my kids were growing up, one of our favorite animations was a film called Arthur Christmas, and this is sort of it sort of fits into the same kind of category. It's got lots of heart, it's got all these gorgeous characters and sort of individual storylines which are really fabulous. But it's got some humor as well. But it's also got it doesn't kind of ignore the reality of Christmas for so many different families and things. As you mentioned, it is based on the Charming trilogy of children's books by Richard Curtis. So a lot of people at this time of the year might be watching Love actually for the twentieth time. But if you've got if you've got some younger kids and you want to find a new Richard Curtis favorite, you might want to try this one out. Santa does feature in this film very much. At the start, he is having one of the worst Christmas, is one of the worst nights he's ever had, terrible storms, and there's a lot of dramas and issues in a little place in the UK, a fictitious place called Wellington on the Sea. So he returns there to leave some presents. But then it really becomes about that little community and the locals and as I mentioned, the children that sort of have different storylines and things. Lots of fun. Great cast. Brian Cox, Fiona Shaw, Jodie Whittaker, Bryst Derby also turns up. You'll hear that voice and go, I know exactly who that is, Bill Nahi. So it's got a really great cast and the animation I thought was probably could have been a a little bit better, a little bit slicker.

Man, it's a little bit.

Man, it's a little bit.

More thought gone into the actual animation of it. But look at is lovely and charming and pleasant. And if you'd like a Christmas story that isn't just about romance or the romantic comedy, but it's got a little bit of everything you got Santa, but individual stories everybody that Now, Linda was right, it's a very good choice.

I'm Robbie Williams. I'm one of the biggest pop stars in the world. This is my story, but I'm not going to tell it in an ordinary way because I don't see myself help with as Semith in the next two hours your us.

It's right to be honest.

It's right to be honest.

I've always been a little less evolved rack.

So let's take it from the top, shall we.

So let's take it from the top, shall we.

Now, the thing to know about this film, which I've only learned this morning, is that that isn't quite Robbie Williams as we've seen him before, right, No.

Now, the thing to know about this film, which I've only learned this morning, is that that isn't quite Robbie Williams as we've seen him before, right, No.

So this is the gimmick of the film. Okay, So this is based on the true story of the crazy rise to favor Robie Williams, who was a teenager when he was selected to be part of the Manufactured band to take that, and it also chronicles his very dramatic fall from grace at only aged twenty one, when he was a ra alcoholic and coke addict his words, and then of course it sort of follows his resurgence, his determination to prove that he had what it takes to be one of the biggest pop stars in the world. And as you mentioned, there is a little bit of a gimmick behind this film, which is the work of Michael Gracie who brought us the Greatest Showman and they sat down. He recorded heaps of he recorded basically Robbi Williams telling him his story and he's turned it into this film. Robin narrates it, but a very talented actor will plays him. Johnna Davis plays him. But he is represented as a monkey throughout the film because he felt like from a young age he was a performing monkey. He was told to do this or that where they say this, you know, and at the same time he felt like his whole life has been in front of the public and everyone's got their own opinion and ideas of him, and hence he doesn't see himself as other people, so he is a very very clever digital c GI monkey throughout it. So this guy John o'davies plays him, plays him beautifully. You can just see so much of Robbie Williams and his actions and his eyes and everything, but he's actually a monkey. Now. I wasn't sure that this was going to work. I was a bit like, mm hmm, see how this goes. This is interesting, but it's fantastic. It is a blast. I laughed, I cried. I know the Robbie Williams story, but him being so open and honest and sharing it with us and with his whip and his charm that only Robbie has this charisma. It really does work. It is a blast. There was a point in my life where I did not want to hear the song Angels. Ever again, everybody played every wedding every where you went, and I sat there in the theater singing every word like you just get caught up. They use his music as well, so it's a bit musical, it's a biopic, it's a bit musical. It's just a blast. And I'm very excited to say that rob Williams is actually joining me on the Sunday session tomorrow after ten am.

And you must listen to Robbie tomorrow at ten. He is just so great. I had to be honest with you. I've become a bit of a fan. It's taken many years, but I'm a bit of a fan.
