OZ & James Drink to Britain Xmas Special

LindenChase · May 28th, 2009, 2:00 PM

This sounds good! There is only very little info at the moment, but it is coming from Oz himself. He mentioned it on Twitter a little while ago:

and This would be nice

i'd love to see the guys going in another adventure...maybe they should consider going to Africa or New Zealand?

I like the "Around the World in 80 Drinks" idea that's been repeated around here.

dawes · June 15th, 2009, 10:52 PM

A Christmas special?? That would be AWESOME.

I think that I would enjoy such a show muchly. Can you imagine all the special xmas bevvies that they could try!

If they are doing a Xmas special then they should surely visit some Belgian breweries run by munks.
They make the best Xmas ale for sure!

ashspet · June 17th, 2009, 11:30 AM

I want to go with them. Hell, I'll even be the designated driver (silent and not in shot). That idea has some serious merit!

Update, two of the ladies over on the James May Board went to a wine tasting event with Oz Clarke. Oz confirmed there will be a Chrismas special and a fourth series. No news on the desitination yet, I'm afraid.

good news!

they should either go to Australia(wine) or CzR/Germany(beer)

iam-nobody · July 7th, 2009, 12:25 AM

So after what was said on radio 5 Xmas show is off?

flydiscovery · July 7th, 2009, 2:02 AM

Sounds like it, unless they took a weekend off and filmed a single episode. Sounds like the Toy project took up more time than they expected.

LindenChase · July 7th, 2009, 6:29 AM

I think James was referring to a whole new series. He said there wouldn't be one this year. They filmed the last three series in August.
I'll tweet Oz, maybe he'll answer this one. (He often does in case you need any advice about wine.

)

LindenChase · October 12th, 2009, 9:04 PM

Finally some more confirmation that the show is on. We even have a date that it will air!

That's the wrong link. Goes to something about Gordon Ramsay.

The Oz Clarke bit is at the end

HeidiL · October 13th, 2009, 1:43 PM

Ooh, one to look forward to, if it's about beer. I've still not dared to try the pink fizzy I bought at Denbies, just in case it makes me as ill as some of the wines I've had. I need to find a time when I have nothing to do for three days afterwards...
