Sleigh - starring Matt Berry and Nigel Planer
Formerly successful rock band The Kindness are trying to record a Christmas song for their comeback single. It's the height of summer, tempers are fraying and obnoxious lead singer Rob and his dad Gerald, the officious Bishop, aren't helping. So, with the aid of port, cheese and swearing, it's up to long-suffering manager Martin to save the day. This short film includes a song, Everybody's Coming Home (It's Christmas!), written specially for the film by Elbow.
