In this special Yuletide charity edition of Hard Agree, Andrew Sumner is joined by seven very special guests 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 (Company, Chess, Les Misérables, We Will Rock You); comics editor & creator David Leach (Psycho Gran, David Leach Conquers the Universe) and marketing guru & ComicBooks for Kids UK director Will O’Mullane (Titan Comics). A Hard Agree Christmas Carol is the Christmas 2022 edition of Hard Agree’s annual yuletide charity podcast and features Sumner and his guests performing Charles Dickens’ live version of his Yuletide classic A Christmas Carol (in support of Comic Books for Kids). Our annual Hard Agree Players cartoon was donated by artist supreme Kelly Yates (Doctor Who, Amber Atoms, MonstHer). 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 my co-producers 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: 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/ Follow Evangeline Lilly on Instagram: 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 on Social Media: https://ollysmith.com/ https://twitter.com/jollyolly https://www.instagram.com/ollysmith/ Follow Julie Stark on Social Media:
