About this listen

Project Audion presents a special Christmas audio comedy, recorded before a live audience at the Grapevine (TX) Public Library on December 14, 2025 as part of "Christmas On The Air."

This show recreates a special Christmas episode of the beloved British radio sitcom "The Men From the Ministry" which was extremely popular during the 1960s and 1970s (and still re-run on the BBC today). The show satirized governmental bureaucracy, but it only aired a single Christmas episode, in December 1964. That recording was subsequently lost or wiped, so Project Audion, performing from the delightfully funny original script, is bringing back to life something which NO ONE has heard in over 60 years! Listen as two bumbling bureaucrats attempt to spread a little Christmas cheer with their plans to deliver "A Present for Norman."
