Thanos Is Coming

Liza Tarbuck

Available for 24 days

On Solstice Eve, the mood is especially festive thanks to wisecracks in visitors’ books and mirthful moments in church. The tales of legendary Alans show no sign of abating, and leather trousers enter the chat. The light-filled music selection includes some festive Perry Como, firm favourites from 10cc and Lost Frequencies, a fantastic ode to moody women from Jerry ‘Ice Man’ Butler, and a little bit of class from Aretha Franklin. To listen to the show on most smart speakers, say: “Ask BBC Sounds to play Liza Tarbuck". Produced by Spiritland Productions for BBC Radio 2.
