The Spirit of Christmas

Duration: 28 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One Channel IslandsLatest broadcast: on BBC One Nightlight

Available for years

Comedy series from the team behind The Play That Goes Wrong. Our players present the story of Santa and his elves attempting to bring happiness to a sad little girl and her constantly fighting parents. Can the magical toy machine restore her Christmas cheer? Or perhaps Mr Snowman and his enchanting dance? We’ll never know, as a surly Santa indulges in too much Christmas sherry and contrives to ruin everything. Crackers explode, an elf is trapped in a confined space, and the toy machine attempts to eat the snowman alive. Also, there are songs, and these don’t go well. Show less
