Episode description

In the blink of an eye, the year is almost over - and that means only one thing: Christmas is upon us once more. 


Alongside all the playing of board games, eating of turkey and unwrapping of presents, there’s one other thing that remains a mainstay in most British festive households: the telly. 


Nothing quite beats the feeling of sitting in front of the TV, sliding into a post-feast food coma and drowsily watching the year’s collection of festive specials.


And this year, there’s plenty to look forward to on TV over Christmas, from Will Sharpe donning a white wig to Walton Goggins and Ella Purnell reuniting. 


The Standard's Commissioning Editor and Culture Writer Vicky Jessop joins us to discuss the best Christmas TV to watch this festive season.
