Step back into the 1980s — when Thursday meant Top of the Pops, Sunday meant taping the Top 40… and your photos took two weeks to come back from Boots.

Tash and her brother Jamie never meant to time-travel back to October 1984. But somehow, they land there — on the exact day Bob Geldof sees the BBC news report that inspires Band Aid and “Do They Know It’s Christmas?”.

Except… because of their accidental arrival, Bob misses it.
Meaning:
No Band Aid.
No USA for Africa.
No Live Aid.
No history as we know it.

Jamie is determined to find Bob and put things right.
Tash just wants to get home — her five-month-old baby is waiting for her.

What would YOU do?
Go back to your child… or stay and help save a million others?

Warm, funny, nostalgic and full of heart, Do They Know It’s Christmas Yet? is a feel-good, time-twisting comedy set against the soundtrack of a decade that changed the world.

Content note:
Tash is lovely — but she does occasionally drop the F-word when flustered. Please bear this in mind when listening with little ears in the car.
