Stanley Baxter's Christmas Box explodes with a seasonal send-up plus all the trimmings. Among the gift-wrapped contents are the Cinderella characters invading the laconic Philip Marloe's office, a Kosher newscast, a tantalising glimpse of The Bruce Fosdyke Show, a Christmas appeal on behalf of the Morally Inhibited, Noel Coward's view of the whole proceedings, Jacques Cousteau's view of the British at the seaside and Colonic Pictures' 1940 musical extravaganza, Girl on the Cover.
Don't take the money, open the box!
