   32. A Hard Agree Christmas Carol 2025

   In this annual festive charity edition of Hard Agree from Friday December 19th 2025, Andrew Sumner is joined by the egg-nog-sipping Hard Agree Yuletide Players, recruited from the worlds of comics, movies, TV and theatre: legendary fantasy author Michael Moorcock; BBC presenter & wine expert Olly Smith (BBC’s Saturday Kitchen, Olly Smith’s Home Cocktail Bible); author, actor & MCU star Evangeline Lilly (Lost, The Hobbit, Ant-Man and The Wasp); comic book legend Dave Gibbons (Watchmen, Kingsman, The Originals); West End theatre star Julie Stark (Chess, Les Misérables, We Will Rock You, Sister Act); comics editor & creator David Leach (Psycho Gran, David Leach Conquers the Universe); comics PR guru Will O’Mullane (Titan Comics, Establishing Shots) and designer, artist & comics creator Kelly Yates (Amber Atoms, MonstHer, Doctor Who - Kelly also donated our annual Hard Agree Yuletide Players illustration). A Hard Agree Christmas Carol is the December 2025 edition of Hard Agree’s annual yuletide charity podcast and features Sumner and his guests performing Charles Dickens’ live version of his festive classic A Christmas Carol (in support of Comic Books for Kids). As Sumner says: “ComicBooks for Kids is a wonderful charity founded by Mark Weiss that does amazing work getting comic books into the hands of children in long-term hospital care on both sides of the Atlantic. Myself and Kenric Regan & John Horsley have always admired Dickens’ timeless seasonal message of empathy & civic responsibility, and thought ‘what better way to underline & amplify ComicBooks for Kids’ mission than to return to the words of Charles Dickens himself, the great believer in human society pulling together?’ Please visit their website CB4K.org, please check them out and please do what you can to help.” You can donate to Comic Books for Kids HERE: https://www.comicbooksforkids.org/donatestart You can check out everything Comic Books for Kids does at these links: https://CB4K.org https://www.comicbooksforkids.org/home https://twitter.com/Comicbooks4kids https://twitter.com/CB4KUK https://www.facebook.com/comicbooksforkids https://www.instagram.com/cb4kuk/ https://www.instagram.com/comicbooks4kids/ Check out Andrew Sumer's interviews with the cast here at Hard Agree and at Forbidden Planet TV on YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLct3NgjqopMP45kVzdeb8cFsBC6G8UrPW&si=ygPvXZKTfW0bo4Qe Follow Evangeline Lilly online: https://www.instagram.com/evangelinelillyofficial/ Follow Michael Moorcock on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/buggerly.otherly Follow Dave Gibbons on Instagram: https://twitter.com/davegibbons90 Follow Olly Smith online: https://ollysmith.com/ https://twitter.com/jollyolly https://www.instagram.com/ollysmith/ Follow Julie Stark online: https://www.juliestark.co.uk/ https://twitter.com/juliejuliestark Follow David Leach online: https://twitter.com/davidleach2000 Follow Will O’Mullane online: https://twitter.com/willomullane https://establishingshotcomic.wordpress.com/ Follow Kelly Yates online: https://twitter.com/kellyyates_art https://subscribe.kellyyatesart.com/ © 2021-2026 Andrew Sumner.
