Up and down the land the traditional Christmas Eve festivities have started. And in a small village in the Yorkshire dales Russell Harty has invited his friends to join him at home. There's plenty going on in this village of Giggleswick - carols in the chapel, Cinderella in the primary school and Mike Harding casting a humorous eye over the landscape.
Mingling with the surprise guests are Ian Botham, Ivor Cutler, Brian Glover, Stuart Hall, Mike Harding, Alex Higgins, Sue Lawley, Ken Livingstone, Edna O'Brien, Zandra Rhodes, Janet Street Porter, Ned Sherrin and Fred Trueman
