Further details
It's Christmas in the nation's favourite corner shop, but some of Granville's most important customers have plans to leave town. Not only is Madge planning to take his beloved Mavis away for a Christmas break but is Mr Newbold also thinking of doing a runner, leaving Granville at the mercy of Mrs Featherstone's amorous advances?
Granville has to use some of his craftiest wiles to persuade everyone not to travel at Christmas. After all, as well as wanting to stay close to Mavis, he's also got to shift a large number of distinctly wonky Christmas Crackers.

Press
It's Christmas at Arkwright's, and many of the shop's most important customers are planning trips out of town. Mr Newbold is among them, leaving Granville exposed to the amorous intentions of Mrs Featherstone, and Madge is planning to take Mavis away, too. Plans must be hatched to prevent the exodus. Meanwhile, Leroy has his head turned by a vegetarian outside the shop, and Granville has to shift a load of duff crackers.
