Turkey, Election Day Planning, Thanksgiving Travel Chaos, and a little Dr. Who lookback

The Two Brits are Malcolm Teasdale and Francis Carden.
It was the time around Thanksgiving Day when this was recorded, so some discussion was required.

So where did the name Turkey originate from?
Why does Election Day mean a day off school for the kids?
Traveling around Thanksgiving Day - 80 million people cant be wrong.
Did you ever watch Dr. Who all those years ago. They should bring it back on TV
Francis sings the theme tune (sort of).
  
Enjoy the gossip and banter from these two old geezers from across the pond.
