Why not join GTI for our last show of the year, as we wave goodbye to 2025 a massive 39 days early and usher in 2026 on what we’re already calling New Year’s Eve X 39. Theoretical Physicists have green-lit the plan, claiming that simply missing out Trump suing the BBC for $1bn, the Government exploding and having to do Christmas shopping will “get us to the next series of The Traitors quicker” and that the fabric of time will “probably be okay.”
