George and his daughter had just finished their breakfast and were getting themselves prepared to head back to Abbey Road Studios. As they wore their coats, boots, and other winter gear, Laura said, "I'm so excited to take part in the Christmas message with آپ and my uncles for the first time, daddy George! This is gonna be a real treat." George replied, "So am I, Laura, darling! Even مزید exciting is that we will be doing our veddy own version of a certain classic, audio drama style! Of course, this was John's idea, and آپ can thank him for it afterwards." Laura replied, "Oh, how lovely! I'll certainly be keeping that in mind." George responded with a smile and a chuckle. He then took another look at the engagement ring for a while (which he had bought at the start of this month) and gently kissed it. Before long, they drove off, fetched Pattie from her flat, and were on their way to the Studios.

80smusiclover1 Our friends' roles are: John - Ebenezer Scrooge George - Bob Cratchit Paul - Jacob Marley Ringo - The Ghost of Christmas Present Pattie - Emily Cratchit Laura - Tori Cratchit (Aside from being a genderswapped Tiny Tim, her name is a reference to the original book's time period) Keep your eyes peeled for some familiar faces as the adaptation unfolds! 😉

BingoPB I'm looking forward to it. This is going to be amazing.

60smusicluv Indeed.

RetroRock64 Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Roldan13 I can totally see Ringo as the Ghost of Christmas Present.

RocknRollSoul60 I can see that as well.

Peaceandlove67 Indeed. I think this is a great casting choice.

80smusiclover1 Thank you. I thought so, too.

Rubyrings I was just wondering if Laura was going to do the Tiny Tim role! So is the engagement ring one George wears for himself to show that he's engaged, or is it the one he's planning to give to Pattie?

80smusiclover1 To answer that question of yours, yes, it is the latter!
