There’s actually more of this. This and ‘The Magic OF Christmas’. That’s five years of solid freelance Christmas. Jesus. Give it a rest. You’ve not experienced Christmas like Christmas at Magic. Not counting the freelance stuff, I was in-house for another five of them and I can tell you that from the 1st of December onwards it’s a relentless juggernaut of Slade, Wizzard (or just Roy Wood, I can’t remember) and, I don’t know, probably Mike Bublé doing his yuletide suicidearama thing that he does.

So in one ear you’ve got Boney M discoing on about Mary’s boy child and down the corridor – courtesy of KISS – you’ve got David Guetta pumping out his hi-NRG EuroNonsense. At least that’s non-seasonal.

I’ve never been detained at Guantanamo Bay but I can’t think how it would’ve been any worse than what I’ve just described.

PS I’ve just remembered that in 2009, they didn’t even play Christmas number one! And I had it on my iPod and everything. Hardly befitting of ‘London’s Number One Christmas Radio Station’, is it?
