Dickens' “A Christmas Carol” might not even be the *best* Christmas ghost story!

Check out this vintage CBC recording of broadcaster Alan Maitland reading Frederick Forsyth’s “The Shepherd”. It's a brilliant interpetation of an awesome short story. You're welcome 😀

Also, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

And to those who don’t, it's still a cool recording 😀

"Fireside Al" Maitland reads Frederick Forsyth's "The Shepherd"

Climb into the cockpit with "Fireside Al" Maitland as he once again heads out over the North Sea, in our annual reading of Frederick Forsyth's short story, "The Shepherd".

The Shepherd is a really enjoyable Christmas 45 min short movie on Disney+ that is perfect for the season. It's not religious, but it does have a tear-jerking Christmas Eve miracle. It's also executive produced by John Travolta. Highly recommended!

I'm watching this #Disney short film called #TheShepherd based on a story by Frederick Forsyth. I have only seen the first few minutes and the trailer but it kinda reminds me of the #Christmas #DoctorWho episode The Doctor, The Widow and The Wardrobe. A miracle, on Christmas eve, to get a pilot home to his family for Christmas. 🥲

OMFG, the way I _needed_ #MartinShaw to be in #TheShepherd (2023)— especially given the story and also one of the producers. \Things Nollie will never, ever get over.

I’ve a bit of a one-track mind today, yeah. (As per usual?)

Vu #TheShepherd (dispo sur Disney+). Un joli conte de Noël pour commencer à se mettre dans l'ambiance de la saison.

#TheShepherd
A young RAF pilot's Christmas Eve flight home takes a perilous turn when his instruments fail and fuel dwindles. Amidst despair, a mysterious savior appears through the fog.
