If you got a chance to listen to Bransby Williams's record "Bob Crackett Telling of Scrooge," I'm sure you think it's interesting!
I don't at all get the odd spelling of Bob Cratchit's last name on the label, but I think it lends even more odd charm to the proceedings!
Bransby doesn't really change his delivery much when portraying Bob rather than Scrooge, but it's interesting to hear the story from Bob's perspective.
It makes sense that Bob tells us what happened at the beginning and end, as he was there. And he fills in the gaps with what Scrooge would have told him over that Christmas bowl of smoking bishop!
And, of course, in keeping with the other Williams records, it's all explained as a dream!
