Kel Richards is an ABC radio presenter, leading the afternoon show on weekends – and is a word guru, with his own short segment called wordwatch. I hear him on 2CH whenever I go to Sydney.
Charles Dickens classic Christmas tale is retold by Kel Richards as an Aussie bush yarn. Cold, wintery England is exchanged for hot, summery outback Australia; Ebenezer Scrooge morphs into Ted Scrooge – old stock and station agent who won’t let his long suffering employee, Bob Cratchit, turn a cooling fan on in the unrelenting heat of an Aussie Christmas eve. As with the original story – Ted’s partner comes to warn him about life after death if Ted doesn’t change his ways. There are the three Christmas ghosts – past, present and future – who have to travel through a red dust storm instead of swirling snow. Yes, there is a tiny Tim :)
