It wouldn\u2019t be Christmas without Radio Times, and this year we\u2019re offering up a festive treat via The Radio Times Podcast\u2013 a three-part Christmas series guiding you through all the telly-must-sees of the holiday season!<\/h3>\n

Guest starring on the first episode is Dame Julie Walters who joins Jane Garvey to discuss Channel 4\u2019s Christmas animation special, The Abominable Snow Baby.<\/p>\n

This adaptation of Terry Pratchett\u2019s short story, narrated by David Harewood, tells the tale of a quintessential English Town thrown into disarray by the appearance of a 14-foot-tall Abominable Snow Baby.<\/p>\n

Walters plays Granny \u2013 a spirited 98-year-old \u2013 and discusses with Garvey how she has been playing \u201cancient people\u201d since she was in her 20s and how she manipulated her vocal cords to sound older. She also reveals a festive childhood story \u2013 which involves a home-reared turkey that became something of a watch dog.<\/p>\n

For the third and final Radio Times podcast treat (available 22 December), David Tennant chats to Rhianna Dhillon about the BBC remake of Around the World in 80 Days.<\/p>\n
