Filming pictures: Ab Fab stars visit Kate Moss grave

New characters appearing include Simon Cowell, Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne.

David Walliams' children's story is one of the bolder festive family offerings this year - and not just because it isn't set in a soft-focused past. If you've read the novel, you'll know it's about a 12-year-old cross-dresser who comes into his own after a chance encounter with a fashion mag. Walliams stars alongside Jennifer Saunders, James Buckley, Meera Syal and Kate Moss.

Billy Kennedy was nervous about working with Kate Moss

"I was a bit nervous about working with Kate Moss" says Billy Kennedy.

A young lad spots Kate Moss in a Vogue fashion spread and falls in love - with frocks. Twelve-year-old Dennis is fed up with everything after his parents split; could dressing up as "Denise" cheer him up? Yes, it turns out, in this sweet-natured adaptation of David Walliams's children's book (following previous Crimbo versions of his Gangsta Granny and Mr Stink).

OK, so Moss's cameo doesn't display any hidden thespian talents and everything is resolved extremely conveniently, but it aims to celebrate difference and individuality, which can't be too bad, given how our commercially-driven youth culture too often tells kids that there's a "right" way to look. And with Jennifer Saunders, James Buckley, Tim McInnerny and Walliams himself popping up among the grown-ups, there's enough here to keep kids and hungover adults amused.

Adaptations of David Walliams's teen-lit offerings have rapidly become a Christmas staple. The latest book to get a small-screen rendering is his debut - the story of 12-year-old Dennis, a small-town boy whose feelings of difference are crystallised by Kate Moss on the cover of a fashion mag. The title hints at Dennis's habit: it's probably the kind of thing to raise the blood pressure of your local Ukip candidate but it is also a story boasting warm-hearted inclusivity and lessons in tolerance and Christmas cheer.

Sarah Millican - Home Bird Live: DVD review

As always, she comes across as a heightened, chummy Everywoman, and while not banging the drum of feminism quite so blatantly as some of her contemporaries, uses that liveability to smuggle in some astute points about pernicious women's magazines and Kate Moss's assertion that 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels'. For any woman - or any man - who knows that's bullshit, Millican's the comic for you.
