Christmas Special - Tim Key's Christmas Poetry Programme
Comic poet Tim Key gets in the Christmas spirit, by reciting festive poetry. With musical support from Tom Basden.
Further details
Tim Key has pulled out all the stops for his Christmas special - he's hired a barn, a cow and a set of sleigh bells for his long-suffering musician, Tom Basden.
He also has a fist-full of festive poems ready for recital. But no amount of Yuletide joy can hide Tom's despair at having to work on Christmas day.
