Starring Ben Miller, Sarah Alexander and Alison Steadman, the three new episodes will see Howard and Mel looking forward to their first Christmas as a family with their new baby daughter, Emily. However for Howard, and those close to him, life is rarely that simple! From suicidal secretaries to maniacal relatives, homicidal boyfriends and belligerent Santas, circumstances conspire to make this a Christmas to remember – for all the wrong reasons. Surely there is no way that Howard can redeem himself and somehow be able to save Christmas?

The three new episodes will be shown on BBC One on Tuesday 19th, Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd December at at 9.30pm.
