The Box of Delights

The wolves are running…

For the 2021 Two Geeks Christmas special, Morgan is taking Tom back to 1984 for a look back at the cult BBC festive series The Box of Delights.

In the episode, we cover:

• Were kids “cleverer” in 1984?
• How Tarantino may have been inspired by the show (he wasn’t)
• Why the cast was not handsome
• Tom’s annoyance at the posh kids having “far too much power”
• Possets
• Nick Berry’s rat beginnings
• Tom’s hardcore love for Winamp and Last.FM (there’s a reason for it)
• Could this just be one big Derren Brown prank?
