December 10^th 2025 was a hectic day for Jimmy and this was just one of two radio shows that he appeared on, promoting Fackham Hall, which opens in the UK tomorrow – 12^th Dec.

The Chris Evans Breakfast Show.

The night before had been a late one, recording Big Fat Quiz of the Year, so the poor bloke looks tired.

• Talksport radio – here
• Birmingham arena in the evening – here

Plus, in this Chris Evans interview, it’s mentioned that he has a big lunch to go to and Chris predicted that Jimmy will be sitting next to Paul McCartney. The Ewan referenced is Ewan Venters – see here.

There is an audio only version on Acast which is 3 times as long as the YouTube video. The problem with the audio version is you cannot see the desk (Chris references what size it is) or the Fackham electronic poster behind them or Chris’s t shirt – etc. etc. So, you will probably have to listen to / watch them both.

Chris seems to be getting nostalgic for TFI Friday as he’s incorporated an interview desk that is the same dimensions as the one in his TV show was.

• Acast – around 32 mins – here
• YouTube – 11 min 50 – here (and below)

Mentioned in the longer version…

• Fackham Hall has 86% on Rotten Tomatoes
