Further details
We all know Christmas simply wouldn't be Christmas without a giant inflatable Santa, an aggressive bull in a field and a terrifying truck driver.
We are straight into seasonal suburban chaos as married couple Lee and Lucy pop out on a last-minute Christmas Eve mission for the kids. With Lucy's father Geoffrey cutting more of a strict and stuffy Victorian gent than usual, and lovely mum Wendy fortunately on hand to temporarily mind the children, surely it will be an uneventful evening? As ever for Lee, things don't quite go to plan with a theft and unexpected trip into deep countryside. Meanwhile at home, Lee's lovably feckless father, Frank also turns up to offer gifts... and his unique festive flavour.

This sitcom has long delivered strong festive episodes, and this year's is no different. It should have been a simple Christmas Eve shopping trip to buy an inflatable Santa. Instead, it turns into an endless shaggy dog story, involving petty theft, an aggressive bull, a sinister truck driver and a cargo ship. Can Lee save the day? "That man has kidnapped Christmas, and I'm the SAS!"
