Day 6 (yes, it is really only day 6) of the This Is Our Everest Advent calendar sees Edward and Ian watching the 1992 Big Break Christmas Special, regardless of where they'd rather be or what they'd rather be doing. Listen as your heroes deal with the conflict of watching one of their favourite people and one of their least favourite people simultaneously for half an hour, as all the while what Edward seemingly believes to be a ranking tournament on the professional snooker tour takes place.

There's also talk of Ian's likely whereabouts when this programme was first broadcast, a considered view of whether or not television hosts really doubled up charitable donations out of their own pocket and a discussion about the impact the Covid-19 pandemic may have had on the British dogging community. Snooker fans can watch the episode for themselves here.

Join us tomorrow morning for the oldest show that we've featured so far, and probably the oldest show that we'll ever feature in this series: The Appleyards, from 1956.

On the first of 24 daily Advent Calendar editions of This Is Our Everest, Edward and Ian ease themselves in slowly by watching an edition of Saint and Greavsie from the 22nd December 1990. With the exception of a ratty tinsel Christmas tree you'd be forgiven for forgetting this was a festive edition at all, in fact, which is pretty much OK by us.

There are philosophical discussions about exactly how much like Jimmy Greaves something needs to be before it essentially becomes Jimmy Greaves, Peter Shilton's testimonial achieves fleeting prominence and we do our level best to check golfers off our list of people to alienate forever. If you'd like to watch the episode, you can do so here.

Things are going to go downhill from here on, though, and tomorrow we're off to 1991 for an episode of the Des O'Connor Christmas Special. You can see that here.

On today's valedictory episode of This Is Our Everest, Edward and Ian give themselves a little treat and watch Crown Court, a programme they both love. They explore the origins of this stupid podcast, whether or not there should be degrees of treason and why they're looking forward to Brexit. The main virtue afforded by Crown Protection is assessed and Ian doesn't believe who is playing the prosecution counsel. If you'd like to watch Crown Court too and see whether or not you believe it, you can find the episodes here: Part 1; Part 2; Part 3.

This is the last episode of this podcast series, but that doesn't mean we're going to leave you alone any time soon. Tomorrow morning we start This is Our Christmas Everest, in which we watch 24 Christmas Specials in 24 days, like an Advent calendar filled with televisual diarrhea. First up, tomorrow, it's Saint & Greavsie. Spoiler alert: it turned out not to be very Christmassy.

On this week's festive extravaganza Twohundredpercent Podcast, Edward and Ian are joined by podcasting stalwart and renowned Metal fan Chris Nee to look ahead to another scintillating year of football.

Your heroes explore Chris's turbulent relationship with the beautiful game over the past year, before going on to touch on any number of hot topics. These include: the vital role the pornography industry must surely play in the normalisation and regulation of NFTs; the reason Edward's own Cryptocurrency never got off the ground; and weighing the thorny moral issues of the 2022 Qatar World Cup against the almost inevitable English success that would result from their boycott of it.

Along the way, we successfully solve football transfer culture (although unfortunately too late to save Jack Grealish's soul) and almost inevitably damage the podcast's diplomatic relations with any number of countries. Luckily, none of us were planning on going anywhere for the forseeable anyway, thanks to the great gift of Omicron, which our experts also carefully unwrap and examine.

Additionally, there's a white Bovril update and news from Carlisle United, where a dead fox nailed to a plank still mercifully has a major part to play in pre-match ceremonies.

If you'd like to hear more from Chris, you can find him on Twitter (@ChrisMNee), where you can also find us (@twoht/@200percentpod). You can also email us if you wish: twohundredpercentpodcast at gmail dot com.

In an ironic twist, today's episode of This Is Our Everest (not sponsored by Just Juice) is both the first to feature any basketball at all and also the episode least likely to appeal to basketball fans. However, Edward has a perfectly reasonable defence and Ian has been watching the 1985 NBA finals instead so couldn't care less either way. There's good news for Canada, bad news for Telford and a chiding for Leicester's lack of ambition.

How believable is Tom Cruise as an American Football player? And why has this question even arisen, in a programme ostensibly about basketball in the developing world? Your intrepid sports correspondents do their best to separate the wheat and chaff from the juice. If you'd like to watch the action, you can do so here.

Tomorrow's episode of this this podcast features an episode of That's Life from 1986. Enter at your own peril.
