It’s the final outing for Martin Clunes’ 

morose medic – but can the 

Christmas magic melt his heart?

DRAMA 

ITV1 ● CHRISTMAS DAY 

DOC MARTIN 

Christmas special 

It signed off in the autumn after 

18 years and 10 series, but Doc 

Martin has saved the best till last, 

bowing out with its first – and 

also final – ever Christmas special. 

The fretful physician doesn’t 

do festive, which explains the 

previous lack of seasonal cheer, 

but this bumper bonus more than 

makes up for it, offering viewers 

glistening snow, a twinkly tree 

on Portwenn’s famous Platt, carol 

singers, turkey, a ghost and even 

Doc Martin Ellingham in a Santa 

suit, riding a sleigh – of sorts. 

‘This special seemed right, as an 

addendum to the final series 

– a little jingle bell on the end,’ 

says Martin Clunes, who 

plays the central character. 

‘We filmed this in February, 

the first one back in the saddle 

for three years, and I’d started 

to ponder the end of the show. 

I remember waiting for my cue 

while I was sitting in a ludicrous 

motorised Santa sled just gazing 

over at a corner where I’d tripped 

over a cat in a previous series!’ 

Needless to say, our anti-hero 

finds much to dislike as the village

James Henry, who runs away 

– headed for the North Pole in 

search of Father Christmas after 

Martin decides to shut the local 

grotto on health grounds. 

There are shades of the Arctic 

in Portwenn, too, as icy weather 

sweeps through, carpeting it with 

snow – in real life the production 

was buffeted by Storm Eunice 

during filming, which nearly tore 

down the Christmas tree – and 

the Doc’s life hangs by a thread as 

he attends an emergency call out. 

In a case of life mirroring art, 

Martin Clunes had a lucky escape 

himself when a driving stunt went 

wrong, causing him to skid on fake 

snow before crashing into a tree. 

‘My job was to turn the car and 

steer out of the shot, at which 

point you cut to the

Will the grumpy 

Doc show some

‘It’s a really lovely 

way to close the story’

’Tis the season 

How Martin and his family will 

be celebrating this Christmas 

After a momentous year in which he and his wife, Doc 

Martin producer Philippa Braithwaite, turned the page 

on a big chapter in their lives, it’s a traditional Christmas 

at home with daughter Emily and extended family. 

‘We have so much going on in the house at this time of 

year, as everyone descends from all over the country – 

nieces and nephews, who are all grown up now. It’s just 

lovely,’ explains the actor, who’s been busy since filming 

wrapped on a new Islands Of The Pacific series for ITV1. 

‘We don’t watch a lot of TV – and I don’t know 

if we’re going to make them watch this special! 

We have a lot of quizzes, dress the four dogs 

up, and go to the local pub on Boxing Day, 

where they have an old skittle alley for 

a game. Then they shut us in 

a room because we get 

quite rowdy!’ 

Jolly scenes: The 

village of Portwenn 

celebrates the season 

into the tree. We rehearsed and it 

looked really, really slow, so I just 

went a bit faster. A bit too fast, 

because the brakes locked and 

I crashed into a tree. The stuntman 

then got in the car with a harness, 

a helmet and padding, and hit 

the tree a lot slower than I had!’ 

In one magical scene, Portwenn’s 

Santa, played by special guest 

Ron Cook, decides to teach the 

GP the true meaning of Christmas 

by clambering up on to his roof 

and delivering presents down the 

chimney. But the special stops shy 

of sentimentality and viewers can 

expect a typical Doc Martin pay-off. 

‘It’s a very beautiful Christmassy 

episode with this lovely snowy 

backdrop, which we’ve never seen 

before, and it’s a lovely way to close 

the book on the story,’ explains 

Caroline Catz, who plays Doc 

Martin’s wife, Louisa. ‘There’s a 

very final, beautiful ending, which 

is funny and quite apocalyptic!’

● CHRISTMAS EVE 

CHRISTMAS CAROLE 

One-off 

My six-year-old is at a great 

age for this and I wanted to 

make something for him. By 

modernising the classic story, 

it’s really taken a fun and 

unexpected twist on how you 

think about A Christmas Carol. 

It has a female Scrooge, which 

feels fresh and different. 

I play Carole, who has made 

her wealth online selling 

disposable singleuse 

Christmas 

decorations. She 

thinks she runs 

the world, 

and doesn’t 

care that 

she’s making 

a profit from 

tat and is 

mean to her 

staff. The story 

has a core 

message of 

Comic advice: Carole 

(Suranne Jones) with 

Eric Morecambe 

(Jonty Stephens) 

family, like the original, but 

the themes are contemporary. 

Everyone has probably got 

a load of stuff that you can 

make things out of, that are 

just as good as buying the 

decorations Carole sells. 

I think the conversation about 

sustainability is important. 

And there’s also the twist 

of the comedians, as the 

three spirits of Christmas – 

comedians we love from the 

past [Jonty Stephens and Ian 

Ashpitel as Eric Morecambe 

and Ernie Wise], one from the 

present [Jo Brand], and 

one who some 

viewers will be 

introduced to 

[Nish Kumar]. 

We want 

people to 

learn their 

lesson, come 

good and 

be given 

a chance 

to redeem 

themselves.

CALL THE MIDWIFE 


Christmas Day deliveries don’t 

come any more joyful than 

a baby. There are a few 

complications, of course, 

but that just makes it 

even more special. 

There’s love in the 

air too, and you’ll be 

pleased to know Fred 

(Cliff Parisi) puts on his Santa 

outfit again to give out gifts 

to needy kids in hospital. 

‘We’ve never done a festive 

episode that, from beginning 

to end, has been so embracing 

of Christmas itself,’ says Jenny 

Agutter, who plays Sister 

Julienne. ‘There are so many 

themes woven in. A lot is going 

on, but every one, in some 

way, reflects a Christmas tale.’ 

The Mullucks return. The 

family appeared in series five 

and six in a story about the 

damaging effects of the drug 

Thalidomide, which was used 

to relieve morning sickness. 

Now pregnant again, Rhoda 

Mullucks (Liz White) – whose 

youngest daughter, Susan, lost 

her limbs due to Thalidomide 

– is worried her new baby may 

also be affected, even though 

she is assured by Dr Turner 

(Stephen McGann) it won’t. 

Rhoda’s husband, Bernie 

(Chris Reilly), is finding life 

difficult being Susan’s dad 

and having a lack of support 

and money. He has taken to 

drowning his sorrows. 

‘It felt terrific to be able to 

get back to the Mullucks, not 

the least of which is because 

they are played by wonderful 

actors,’ says Jenny. ‘That is 

an overriding story, which 

is still not fully resolved.’ 

Meanwhile, excitement 

spreads right through 

Nonnatus House when 

word of Matthew’s (Olly Rix) 

plans to propose to Trixie 

(Helen George) leak out. But 

every time the poor guy tries 

to pop the question, there 

is a distraction that causes 

the nurse to be called away. 

‘It was really nice this 

series, because after having to 

film previously with COVID 

restrictions, we could touch 

patients, which is so crucial 

in caring – plus it meant 

that Trixie and Matthew 

could kiss!’ says Helen. 

Feeling everyone needs 

cheering up after the train 

crash tragedy at the 

end of the last 

series, Fred 

decides a

will do the 

trick. Taking

STRICTLY COME 

DANCING 


Back in 2019, comedian, actor 

and presenter Chris Ramsey 

finished an impressive fourth 

on Strictly Come Dancing, 

partnered with Karen Hauer. 

Now, his wife Rosie is following 

in his footsteps by doing the 

2022 Strictly Christmas special 

with dancer Neil Jones. 

‘I’ve always watched Strictly, 

and I never thought I’d get the 

opportunity to do it myself,’ says 

Rosie, who launched hit podcast 

Shagged. Married. Annoyed with 

Chris, before taking their feisty 

banter to TV in The Chris And 

Rosie Ramsey Show. 

‘When Chris did it, obviously 

I wanted it even more. So when 

I was asked to do this, I grabbed 

it with both hands.’ 

The couple are dancing a jive to 

Elton John’s Step Into Christmas, 

and Neil has been impressed 

with his new partner’s progress. 

‘It’s my favourite dance, and 

I think Rosie is a natural at it 

– she’s a jive dancer!’ he says. 

But Rosie admits that while 

she loved the idea of appearing 

on Strictly, it’s been gruelling. 

‘It is so hard,’ says the mum 

to two boys – Robin, seven, 

and Rafe, who will turn two 

in January. 

‘I naively watch every week 

at home, going, “Oh, that looks 

so easy.” It is not! It’s so difficult 

and exhausting.’

One-off 

There’s nothing like belting out a 

song to lift your spirits. With that 

in mind, ITV has pulled together a 

cracking celebrity singing contest 

as part of its mental health 

campaign, Britain Get Talking. 

They’ve found the perfect host 

in Roman Kemp, a passionate

feels Christmas is the ideal time 

for a show like this, which also 

features the celebrity singers 

opening up about their own 

issues and struggles.

It sounds like the Emmerdale 

performance is memorable, too. 

‘Lisa Riley rapping at will.i.am 

is something I never thought 

I’d see!’ laughs the DJ, presenter 

and author, 29. 

But it’s the studio audience 

that ultimately picks the 

winner of this fun show 

with an important message. 

‘We’re all aiming for the 

same goal, which is shining 

a light on people being able 

to speak to one another,’ adds 

Roman. ‘It’s so important to 

connect with others, so I jumped 

at the chance to be involved.’

Neil, who has also performed 

on festive specials with Anita

that he didn’t know what to 

expect from his new partner. 

‘I was just thinking, “She 

can’t be worse than Chris.” And 

then I remembered that Chris 

was the one who knocked me 

out. So technically Chris has 

gone further in the competition 

than me as a pro!’ 

Here’s hoping it’s all right on 

the night, and Rosie doesn’t find 

herself breaking out in a cold

hit blasts out in the future… 

‘That is so true!’ she laughs.

admits. ‘I had a party every

THE BOY, THE MOLE, 

THE FOX AND 

THE HORSE 

One-off 

What made you want to get 

involved with this project? 

I’ve always been a fan of Charlie’s 

work. The Boy, The Mole, The Fox 

And The Horse is a unique story 

that transcends ages and genres. 

The idea came about as we were 

going into the pandemic, and it 

felt like an opportunity to get 

stuck into something inspiring 

and meaningful, working with 

some truly talented people. 

How did you find the process 

of recording the voice? 

Charlie had a very clear vision of 

how each character sounded. All 

very distinct voices that captured 

the essence of each character. 

We were doing this throughout 

the pandemic, so it 

was a case of getting 

our heads together 

when we could and 

slowly bringing the 

fox to life – creating 

his spirit through his 

thought-provoking, 

if few, words. 

The fox is the most solo 

of the group… 

He’s an outsider, somewhat 

untrusting of the world, and 

takes his time to open up and 

be vulnerable. I connected with 

him and it was amazing to see 

his journey through the story. 

I think there’s a part in all of us 

that feels like the fox. That’s the 

beauty of Charlie’s work – we 

see ourselves in the characters 

and can relate to their journeys.

GHOSTS 


If you’re a living person who 

socialises with ghosts, it might 

be tricky to think of a present for 

your dead friends. Equally, for 

the departed, being deceased 

is a major obstacle to getting 

your Christmas shopping done. 

But Alison Cooper (Charlotte 

Ritchie) is determined to give her 

spirited buddies a treat they’ll 

appreciate this Christmas – and 

they want to return the favour… 

‘Mike [Kiell Smith-Bynoe] and 

Alison are spending Christmas 

Day away from Button House, as 

they’re going to see his parents,’ 

reveals Charlotte, 33. ‘So Alison 

has prepped some surprises 

for the ghosts.’ 

Given how needy the ghosts 

can be, is she concerned about 

how they’ll cope without her? 

‘It’s Kitty [Lolly Adefope] who 

Alison worries about the most,’ 

says Charlotte. ‘She’s so childlike 

How do you buy 

a gift for a spook? 

Charlotte Ritchie 

reveals allÉ 

Spirit of Christmas: 

Charlotte and her 

ghostly chums 

– and so excited about the day! 

But deep down, Alison enjoys 

time away from the ghosts. It’s 

like parents who get away from 

their kids for the evening.’ 

So, what about those presents? 

‘Alison is really thoughtful,’ she 

says. ‘She spends so much time 

with the ghosts, the gifts she 

comes up with are so specific 

and lovely. They’re touched. At 

this point, the audience knows 

the characters well, so you’ll 

understand just how much each 

ghost will adore their gift.’ 

Keen to enter into the spirit of 

the season, the ghosts arrange 

their own present for Alison. 

‘Their ability to get anything 

material is quite limited!’ says 

Charlotte. ‘So, their gift has to 

be of a very personal nature.’ 

But what can it possibly be? 

Charlotte isn’t letting on. 

‘It involves a lot of input and 

a lot of soul,’ she hints. ‘It’s a real 

treat. When you see what they 

do for Alison, it will feel like a 

gift for the viewer, too…’

DETECTORISTS 

One-off 

The advent of streaming and 

on-demand services such as 

BBC iPlayer and Netflix means 

people are often discovering 

shows some time after their 

first screening. Mackenzie 

Crook believes his BAFTAwinning 

comedy Detectorists, 

C 

which returns for a one-off 

special, is something 

of a case in point. 

‘In the five years since 

the last series aired, the 

programme has acquired 

a lot more fans than 

originally watched it,’ says 

Mackenzie, who’s talking to 

Total TV Guide via Zoom from 

the shed (which functions as 

his writing space) at his home 

in London’s Muswell Hill. ‘It’s 

had this slow growth of 

audience, and all these new 

viewers have never had the treat of a brand-new episode 

(Mackenzie) and Lance (Toby 

to watch. That’s one of the big 

reasons why I wanted to write 

this special.’ 

For those of you yet to 

discover the charms of the 

warm, gentle series, it centres 

on best friends Andy

sitcom – and doing

being sold to developers and 

funds are desperately needed to 

save it from being demolished. 

There is hope on the horizon, 

however, when Lance manages 

to secure permission for him 

and Andy to search 10 acres of 

farmland where the discovery 

of a delicate precious relic could 

potentially save the venue. 

In a case of life imitating art, 

Mackenzie reveals that creating 

a series about metal-detecting 

made him want to follow in the 

footsteps of Andy and Lance. 

‘I wasn’t into it before, but 

once I started researching the 

subject, I got myself a metal 

detector. I can’t be called a 

detectorist, because I only go 

out once or twice a year, but 

it’s a fascinating hobby’. 

Has he himself unearthed 

anything worthy of the DMDC’s 

‘finds table’? With that, 

Mackenzie turns away from the 

camera to a shelf behind him 

and produces a small gold item, 

which he proudly holds up. 

‘You probably can’t see it 

too clearly on the screen, 

but it’s either an earring or a 

pendant that’s Roman gold. 

I had it verified by the British 

Museum and then it went 

before a coroner. It had to fulfil 

various criteria to be declared 

treasure – such as being made 

of precious metal. It was then, 

as per protocol, offered to 

museums, but none were 

interested. So I got to keep it!’ 

Detectorists fans will know it’s 

customary for anyone who finds 

gold to perform a celebratory 

‘gold dance’. Did Mackenzie get 

on down after his discovery? 

‘When I dug it up, it was quite 

dark, so I couldn’t make out 

what I had. But back at home, 

I could see it properly – and I did 

a little jig in my kitchen!’

First off, it’s brilliant that 

ITV1 is doing this New 

Year’s Eve party, because it 

has never done anything like 

it before. People often don’t 

feel like leaving the house 

to celebrate, so it’s great 

that they can enjoy this twohour 

extravaganza from 

the comfort of their homes. 

I’m hosting it with Jason

2023 with her, Jason Manford and 

some glitzy guests at Wembley Arena 

Manford at Wembley Arena 

and 8000 people will be 

joining us, so there 

will be an awesome 

atmosphere. There’ll 

be some brilliant 

performances 

from Adam 

Lambert – who 

I’m a huge fan 

of [who isn’t?] 

– Katherine 

Jenkins, Tom 

Grennan, Cirque du Soleil 

and the Sugababes, which 

will be quite nostalgic. 

The night will honour 

National Lottery 

players, who raise 

an incredible 

£30m-plus a 

week and help 

out so many 

charities. We will 

be looking back 

at 2022’s highs 

and lows, such as the 

Lionesses winning Euro 2022 

and the sad passing of our 

wonderful Queen Elizabeth. 

It’ll be joyous, poignant, 

emotive and, ultimately, we 

want people to enter 2023 

feeling optimistic. 

We’ll be up against Jools’ 

Annual Hootenanny on 

BBC2 and Sam Ryder’s New 

Year special on BBC1 – I’m 

all for healthy competition! 

It’s fun. The networks worry 

about ratings more than 

I would. All I can focus on 

is doing the best job I can, 

and hopefully we will put 

on an incredible show.

‘The first thing that jumped

moving, and for west coast of

‘The character of Tully [who

to be challenging – it scared 

me but also attracted me.

Martin Compston

‘For me, doing this was a nobrainer. 

It’s centred around 

the relationship between two 

characters, the other played 

by Tony, who is an old and 

dear friend of mine, and it was 

filming in our native Scotland. 

‘It wasn’t until we got on set 

that I realised these beautiful 

scripts are so emotionally 

draining. In their first scene, 

Tully gives Jimmy devastating 

news and, from then on, it’s 

their journey together. Every

HAPPY VALLEY 

Six episodes 

‘Considering how long ago 

it finished, it’s surprising how 

many people still go on about 

Happy Valley,’ laughs writer 

Sally Wainwright. ‘It made an 

impact, which is wonderful 

for everyone involved.’ 

Indeed, it’s been six years 

since we last visited police 

officer Catherine Cawood 

(Sarah Lancashire), her 

grandson Ryan (Rhys Connah), 

his father, banged-up killer 

Tommy Lee Royce (James 

Norton), and her sister Clare 

(Siobhan Finneran). 

But now the show is making 

a dramatic return – and things 

have changed, especially 

for Catherine. 

‘Catherine is probably in 

the best place we’ve ever seen 

her,’ reveals Sally. ‘In series 

one, Ryan was only seven 

or eight, and so what had 

happened to her daughter 

was relatively recent. 

‘The idea is that in the last 

six years, nothing has occurred 

that’s given us any reason to 

believe Ryan thinks about 

his dad much. 

‘It also made sense that 

now, Catherine probably is in 

a better place. She’s coming up 

to retirement, she has plans. 

Ryan is nearly old enough to 

be considering leaving home 

and moving on. So it comes as 

a real shock to her when she 

realises that he has been 

thinking about Tommy.’ 

Sally left a deliberate time 

gap between series so the 

character of Ryan could reach 

adulthood and think about 

his relationship with his father 

– who raped his mother and

Sympathy for the devil? 

James Norton’s Tommy Lee Royce is a changed man… 

Tommy is still in prison, serving multiple life sentences, 

but he has changed. He has moved on and matured – 

there’s a definite shift in his demeanour and temperament. 

I think that’s because, for the first time in a long time, he’s 

got hope. He has information about something we don’t 

know about yet – but that knowledge in this situation has 

given him a sense of contentment. 

Catherine and Ryan are the two big poles of his 

existence. Catherine has her family and doesn’t want to 

think about Tommy, but Tommy forces his way into her 

life and her consciousness. They are, in the best way, 

obsessed with each other. There’s a deep hatred. They 

have a kind of shared experience and so, in that 

way, they are inextricably linked and will always 

be, in some way, kind of married together. 

New man: 

Tommy has 

moved on, 

but for 

better or 

worse? 

caused her to take her own life. 

‘We could only really come 

back when Ryan got to be 16 or 

17 – old enough to have some 

agency in the world and to think 

for himself about what he wants 

and who he is – to let us really 

explore that,’ explains Sally. 

‘As I was writing the last series, 

it became apparent that might 

be a way to go forward. But it 

kind of just turned out that way, 

because I got sidetracked by 

writing Gentleman 

Jack, which took so 

long due to being 

such an intense 

thing – reading the 

diaries, and then 

turning them into 

drama. But it worked 

out well and that 

amount of 

time passed. 

‘The last 

shot of 

series 

Writer extraordinaire: 

Sally Wainwright 

two of Happy Valley was 

when Catherine and Ryan 

were out for a walk on the 

fields above Hebden Bridge, 

and there’s that final image 

of Catherine watching him 

with a look of terror on her 

face, thinking, “What if he 

grows up wrong? What if 

he’s like his dad?” 

‘He was quite badly 

behaved at school and 

always in trouble, and he 

couldn’t concentrate. It’s 

addressing that and finding 

out where he is now. 

‘The big question, 

though, is which side will 

‘Catherine is 

probably in the 

best place we’ve 

ever seen her’ 

Stepping in: Catherine has been raising 

grandson Ryan after his mother’s death 

he come down on?’ adds Sally. 

‘Will he see his dad as someone 

who’s afflicted and who we 

should be sympathetic towards, 

or will he see him in 

the way Catherine 

does? For him to want 

to explore that is 

deeply distressing for 

Catherine and fires up 

extreme emotions.’ 

It’s all as compelling 

as ever, taking many 

a dark turn. But what about 

Happy Valley made it such 

a big hit with viewers? 

‘I think it’s probably a 

combination of things – the 

cast, the writing, being well 

directed, and very realistic 

when it touched on a genuine 

problem,’ says Sally. ‘Rural 

areas are badly affected by 

drug and alcohol issues. It 

also covered the fact that 

police officers like Catherine 

just get to mop up the debris of 

what happens, and never feel 

like the problems get solved. 

That was Catherine’s complaint 

in the first season, but this time 

we get closer to some of the 

drug kingpins in the area. 

‘I think its success was due 

to Sarah in that role, and James 

as Tommy. They both really put 

their heart and soul into it, and 

it came across on screen in such 

a palpable way.’

All seven eps also available on

When Waterloo Road became 

a BBC iPlayer hit during 

lockdown, it also led to a new 

lease of life for the schoolbased 

drama, whose doors 

closed in 2015 after nine years 

on air. As a new term begins, 

it also marks the return of 

original cast member Angela 

Griffin playing Kim Campbell, 

now the school’s new head 

teacher. However, she never 

thought she’d be back in the 

role she left 12 years ago. 

‘Oh, my God, no,’ says 

Angela, 46. ‘Once it finished, 

it didn’t even enter my head 

the show would come back. 

Not many can, and do, return.’ 

It was a lunch with 

executive producer Cameron 

Roach, whose company was 

pitching the revamped show 

to the BBC, that convinced 

Angela to rejoin. 

‘I thought, “I’m not sure, 

I’ll go and see what the deal 

is.” But that just made me go, 

“I definitely want to reboard.” 

‘It’s 100 per cent the 

same, but totally different. 

It’s a show made for 2022. 

I didn’t want to go back 

and play the character as 

she was, because that’s 

boring. The life events that 

have occurred to Kim since 

we last saw her mean it does 

feel like more like a spin-off 

than a reboot.’ 

Angela is one of three

return, alongside Adam

while new faces include Kym 

Marsh. Is she nervous about

RIPTIDE 

Four episodes 

Did you watch Lie With Me on Channel 

5 last year? Written by Neighbours 

executive producer Jason Herbison, it 

saw Charlie Brooks – EastEnders’ Janine 

– camping it up in an Aussie mansion 

while her husband enjoyed kinky sex 

with the nanny in the basement. A 

similar perfect blend of Walford and 

Erinsborough will see Danny Dyer (Mick 

Carter) star in a five-part thriller called 

Heat next year, in his first role since 

quitting the Square. 

And this week, Jo 

Joyner (aka Tanya 

Branning) plays 

Alison, whose 

wealthy new 

husband Sean 

vanishes off 

the Aussie 

coast during 

his morning 

Disappeared: 

Sean (Peter 

O’Brien) goes 

missing while 

surfing 

surf. Did he 

get caught in a 

lethal riptide and 

drown – or is there 

something more sinister to it? 

‘When we meet Alison, she’s a happy, 

chilled person. Like all the best thrillers, 

she’s in a really good place before it 

all goes wrong, right?’ laughs Jo. 

Sean is played by Peter O’Brien, 

better known as Neighbours’ hunky 

Shane Ramsay back in the day. Ripper! 

‘When I got back from Australia and 

told my friends, “Yeah, the guy who 

played my husband was in Neighbours,” 

they were all, like, “What? I really 

fancied Peter O’Brien!”’ 

But is Alison all she appears? There’s 

a hint in episode one that her stepson 

suspects she’s a gold-digger. 

‘Towards the end of the show, the 

audience hold a lot of the cards, and 

that has its own thrill, because they 

know who is in jeopardy and who isn’t.’ 

Back in Blighty, Jo is looking forward 

to getting stuck in to the festivities. 

‘We never watch any telly on 

Christmas Day! And this year we 

certainly won’t, because I’ve got my 

best friend [Ackley Bridge actor] Sunetra

‘It’s funny, 

odd, moving... 

and English’ 

DRAMA 

ITV1 ● HOLIDAY MON 2 JAN-WED 4 JAN 

STONEHOUSE 

All three eps also available on 

ITVX from Holiday Mon 2 Jan 

I was born the month 

before John Stonehouse 

faked his own death in 

November 1974. So I didn’t 

know much about the story 

before this project came 

along. And I conflated it with 

the 1970s TV series The Fall 

And Rise Of Reginald Perrin. 

The younger Stonehouse 

was a bit of a rising star in 

the Labour party. A bright, 

self-possessed man. But he 

also did a bit of moonlighting 

for the Czech Secret Service! 

John Preston’s scripts are 

brilliant. I found it funny, odd, 

moving and English, a similar 

feel to the TV drama Quiz 

[about the Who Wants To Be A 

Millionaire? scandal] I was in. 

John is very good at writing 

perfectly crafted scenes that 

swing along and are very nice 

to play. There is also a rather 

poignant theme through this 

involving a boyhood memory 

that Stonehouse carries 

with him when things 

are going wrong. 

Ultimately, he was only 

discovered in Australia 

[where he was building 

a new life under a new 

identity] because somebody 

thought he was Lord Lucan!

DRAMA ITVX ● ALL FOUR EPS 

Vicky McClure and 

Johnny Harris reunite 

for a moving drama 

AVAILABLE 

FROM THURS 29 DEC 

WITHOUT SIN 

It’s 12 years since This Is England 

’86 – a spin-off from the 2006 film 

– aired on Channel 4. Line Of Duty 

star Vicky McClure played factory 

worker Lol, and Johnny Harris 

(The Salisbury Poisonings) her 

violent rapist father, Mick. 

Vicky and Johnny became close 

friends, and jumped at the 

chance of working with each 

other again on 

Without Sin. 

Vicky plays Stella, a mother 

deep in grief following the 

murder of her daughter 

Maisy, which Stella 

happened upon after 

a night out – with Charles, 

played by Johnny, standing 

over Maisy’s body. 

‘Stella has got strained 

relationships with her ex and 

her mum, and she’s smoking 

cannabis – which is making 

her even more insular and 

paranoid,’ says Vicky. 

In the first episode, Stella 

is persuaded to visit Charles 

in prison – and Johnny is 

mesmerisingly ambivalent. 

‘I guess the challenge was 

that I knew where Charles 

was going and whether he 

was guilty,’ says Johnny. 

We’re chatting to the pair, 

who are executive producers 

of the drama, at a community 

arts centre in Vicky’s home 

city of Nottingham, where 

Without Sin is set, and where 

she still lives. ‘I was adamant it 

was shot here. The city hones 

a lot of incredible talent. It’s a 

beautiful place which is ready 

to be seen on the screen.’

Beasts: The Secrets 

Of Dumbledore 

PREMIERE 

FROM CHRISTMAS DAY 

★★★ 

SC Premiere 12.30pm & 8.00pm 

■ Adventure ■ 12 ■ 2022 

Although they’ve never quite caught 

the imagination in the way the Harry 

Potter movies did, the Fantastic 

Beasts prequels, involving a younger 

Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) and 

his protégé Newt Scamander (Eddie 

Redmayne), still have plenty of magic 

to keep fans of JK Rowling’s Wizarding 

World happy. This instalment is set in 

a stunningly rendered 1930s Germany, 

where the dark magician Gellert 

Grindelwald plans to destroy all 

Muggles and assume control of the 

world. Because of their blood pact, 

Dumbledore can’t intervene directly, 

so he assembles a team of talents to 

battle Grindelwald’s army of bad 

spellers. Mads Mikkelsen replaces 

Johnny Depp (the latter stepped 

down owing to his defamation case 

against The Sun) and is at the same 

time subtler and more chilling in the 

role than Depp ever was. With Ezra 

Miller, Dan Fogler, Callum Turner 

and Katherine Waterston. British TV 

premiere. UK-US/Dir David Yates 

Reviews: Jon Gower, Pauline Brown, Madeline Pritchard, Alix Buscovic, Michael Jones

Daniel Craig’s swan song as Bond 

– the 25th entry in the franchise – 

draws together narrative strands 

from his previous outings and 

delivers a dizzying emotional 

punch. Believing that he was 

betrayed by his lover Madeline 

Swann (Léa Seydoux), 007 has 

retired and is living in Jamaica. 

But he’s called back into the fray 

by his old CIA pal Felix Leiter 

(Jeffrey Wright), who wants him 

to extract a boffin from Spectre’s 

clutches. There’s a fiendish new 

weapon on the scene, plus a pair 

of kickass heroines in Bond’s 

00-colleague Nomi (Lashana 

Lynch) and Cuban agent Paloma 

(Ana de Armas). And even if 

Rami Malek disappoints slightly 

as scarred supervillain Lyutsifer 

Safin, this is a fitting finale for 

Craig, with its suitably outrageous 

action and lump-in-the-throat 

payoff. Christoph Waltz, Naomie 

Harris and Ralph Fiennes also 

star, while Billie Eilish sings the 

tingly theme. British TV premiere.

SUNDAY 


The King 

BBC1/BBC2/ITV1, 3pm We’ll tune in with 

mixed emotions today as King Charles III 

delivers his first seasonal message after the 

death of Queen Elizabeth – and she’s a hard 

act to follow. Delivering her first in 1952, she’s 

been a part of Christmas Day ever since and 

spoke movingly of her husband’s death last 

year. But this is the first King’s speech in nearly 

70 years, and the first time a male monarch 

has given it on TV, so it’s history in the making. 

YOUR NOTES 

FAVOURITE 

Call The Midwife 

BBC1, 7.55pm You know all is well when Fred 

puts on his Santa outfit to give presents to 

children in hospital. And, yes, there’s snow. So 

far, so good. But it gets better with Matthew 

planning to propose to Trixie, if he ever gets 

the chance! And there’s excellent performances 

from guest stars Liz White and Chris Reilly who 

return as the Mullocks, struggling to look after 

their Thalidomide-impaired daughter, with 

mum Rhoda now expecting her fourth child.

COMEDY 

Rob Beckett: Wallop! 

Sky Comedy/Showcase, 9pm If you’re a comedian in 

danger of TV saturation, at least be a funny one, and that’s 

certainly the case with the boundlessly bouncy Rob Beckett 

who you might have seen this year on, say, Rob & Romesh Vs, 

Unbreakable or 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown. Having 

toured all over the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand in 

2022, Beckett performs his first televised stand-up special at 

a venue close to his heart – Southend’s Cliffs Pavillion.

Miriam Margolyes: 

Australia Unmasked 

BBC2, 9pm The actress and writer has been 

popping up on our screens a lot lately. 

In this returning series, the octogenarian is 

heading off on another road trip down under 

– this time along the bottom of the land, 

taking in the sights from Tasmania towards 

Western Australia. And she’s keen to explore 

the thoroughly Aussie ethos of the ‘Fair Go’ 

which she promised herself she’d stick to 

after getting her citizenship in 2013. 

Riptide 

Channel 5, 9pm This new UK-Australian 

co-production comes from the team that 

brought us last year’s Lie With Me, and, like its 

predecessor, it unites former EastEnders and 

Neighbours stars – in this case Jo Joyner and 

Peter O’Brien. The four-part thriller follows 

Alison (Joyner), who weds older and wealthier 

Sean (O’Brien). However, their respective exes 

resent the marriage. So, when Sean goes 

missing, could foul play be involved?

Dogs In The Wild: 

Meet The Family 

BBC1, 8pm They say a dog is a man’s best 

friend, but it’s unlikely you’d take any of the 

canids featured in this series for walkies. 

Wolves, foxes, jackals and dogs are among 

the 37 different types of canid, and this 

opening episode, narrated by Chris Packham, 

begins in the Himalayas as a Tibetan fox looks 

for its next meal. We also meet the smallest 

canid in the Sahara desert, the dhole in India 

(above), and the mane wolf in South America.

Antiques Roadshow: 

Toys & Childhood Special 

BBC1, 8pm An episode featuring some of the 

toys and games we’ve loved the most over 

the past 100 years – from teddy bears and 

wooden Wind In The Willows figures (above) 

to Sindy, Star Wars dolls, Pac Man and even 

some drawings for kids’ TV show Teletubbies. 

Roadshow experts also bring along their own 

cherished childhood toys – including Bunny 

Campione’s namesake ‘Bunny’ – while 

Jonathan Ross shows off his collection. 

Marie Antoinette 

BBC2, 9pm If you enjoyed the film The 

Favourite, with Olivia Colman, then this series 

from the same writer should appeal. Marie 

Antoinette (Emilia Schüle) was only 14 when 

she left Austria to marry the Dauphin of France. 

But rather than the cake-espousing airhead of 

folklore she was a free-spirited, independentminded 

feminist. Tonight she meets her 

gauche new husband and gets to grips with 

the bizarre rules of etiquette at Versailles.

her Canadian childhood sweetheart Bobby, she’s got a new 

perspective on all that. Her completely sold-out Missus tour 

of the UK, Europe and Canada can now be seen on the small 

screen for the first time. So what does it mean to her to be a 

‘missus’? It’s all here, and it’s not going to be pretty.

30 December 

FRIDAY 

Macaque: Monkeys 

In The Mountains… 

BBC1, 7.30pm An astonishing – often brutal – 

glimpse at the struggle for survival and 

dominance within a troop of Barbary macaque 

monkeys high in the Atlas Mountains of 

Morocco. Narrated by Sir David Attenborough, 

the film follows alpha male Mac as he fights 

off his rivals to maintain his position, through 

both bitter cold and searing heat. It’s a tale 

of epic proportions, with surprising twists and 

an unexpected outcome. 

Jason Manford: 

Recent Nostalgia 

BBC1, 10.30pm In this filmed version of his Like 

Me tour, recorded at Sheffield’s City Hall at the 

end of September, Jason reflects on absurd 

moments from lockdown, his early days on the 

comedy circuit and why men aren’t as clever as 

women think they are. The special culminates 

in his song Assembly Bangers, a dance track 

medley of religious songs sung in school 

assemblies down the decades, such as the 

rousing He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands.

Sam Ryder Rocks 

New Year’s Eve 

BBC1, 11.30pm What a year it’s been for Sam 

Ryder. The perma-smiling singer took the UK 

to second place at Eurovision, performed at 

the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee concert, was part 

of the Taylor Hawkins tribute show and this 

year’s Royal Variety. So, to top off an incredible 

2022, he’s ringing in 2023 with his own special, 

featuring hits spanning the decades, special 

guests and dazzling duets. And the fireworks 

return to the banks of the River Thames, too. 

Jools’ Annual Hootenanny 

BBC2, 11.30pm It wouldn’t be New Year’s Eve 

without Jools (above) honky-tonking his way 

through his guest sets, and this year it’s the 

30th anniversary of this annual shindig. He’s 

got a real mixed bag of guests in store, with 

Andy Fairweather Low, Cat Burns, Gabrielle, 

George Ezra, Roland Gift, Ruby Turner, Self 

Esteem, The Real Thing and Tom Odell – 

plus Pipes and Drums of the 1st Battalion 

Scots Guards marching us into 2023.

Silent Witness 

BBC1, 9pm After marking its 25th anniversary 

last year with the return of Amanda Burton as 

Sam Ryan, this hit show remains on top of its 

game with a new series of two-part stories, 

kicking off in dramatic fashion tonight. When 

a city worker is pursued and then plunges to 

his death from a London skyscraper, Nikki 

Alexander (Emilia Fox) and the team find 

themselves heading into extremely dangerous 

territory as they look into the case. 

Stonehouse 

ITV1, 9pm A brilliant, stylish, swaggering threepart 

drama telling the true story of Labour 

MP John Stonehouse who, in 1974, faked his 

own death in an effort to escape debt and 

wrongdoing. Retold in a style that owes a lot 

to Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can, Matthew 

Macfadyen (above) is at his best in the title 

role with his real-life spouse Keeley Hawes 

(above) as Stonehouse’s wife, Barbara. Kevin 

McNally is pitch perfect as PM Harold Wilson.

NEXT ISSUE 

3 January 

TUESDAY 

Waterloo Road 

BBC1, 8pm It’s great news for fans of the 

school-based drama which is back following 

an eight-year break. Long-term viewers will 

also welcome the reappearance of original 

cast member Angela Griffin (above) who left in 

2010 but returns as Kim Campbell, the school’s 

new head. And it’s certainly a testing first day 

back for the start of term when a pupil protest 

escalates into a riot! Meanwhile, a mystery 

figure has been sleeping rough in the school… 

2022: The Year From Space 

Channel 4, 7.30pm A fascinating programme 

showcasing the year’s major news events 

as seen from spectacular satellite images. 

The war in Ukraine is foretold through analysis 

of footage showing Russian troops amassing 

at the border, and there are terrifying aerial 

views of wildfires spreading across Europe. But 

satellites also reveal joy and optimism, as the 

easing of COVID restrictions allows guests 

back into Disney World (above), and once 

empty cities filled with people again.

Patagonia, puma numbers are booming. But it’s far from an 

easy life for these apex predators… Here we meet Rupestre, 

an adult female, who has just six months to teach her 

four cubs how to survive. At first, life appears carefree for 

boisterous Chico, timid Ginger and their two grey sisters, but 

they soon face blizzards, hunger and dangerous encounters 

with other pumas. Then the family is struck by tragedy.

Sky Atlantic, 10.15pm A rerun of the 2019 series which 

confounded cynics by being… actually rather good. Posited 

as a sequel of sorts to the classic Eighties DC comic serial 

co-created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons (the former 

studiously disowns any screen adaptations of his work), it 

stars Regina King (above) and Jeremy Irons. Following the 

aftermath of a global disaster, masked vigilantes patrol the 

streets, while white supremacists clash with the authorities.

FRIDAY 

Amanda & Alan’s Italian Job 

BBC1, 8.30pm Long-time friends Amanda 

Holden and Alan Carr team up to do up a ruin 

in Sicily, and transform it into a luxury home, 

with the profits from the sale going to charity. 

The dubious brown stains daubing the walls 

of the interior have Alan squawking with 

anxiety, but the locals welcome the pair into 

their community. And, of course, once tools 

are downed, there’s always time for a cheeky 

Aperol Spritz amid the stunning scenery. 


BBC1, 9pm The new series kicks off with a 

puzzling first case when a group of star-gazers 

gather to witness a rare eclipse. But when 

astronomer Prof Bertrand Sworder plunges to 

his death from the cliff top without anybody 

noticing, it looks like suicide – until DI Neville 

Parker (Ralf Little, above) finds a half-finished 

crossword. Meanwhile, Darlene is the latest 

trainee officer, Selwyn struggles with the news 

that he has a daughter, and Neville has a date.

Junior Choice 

BBC Radio 2 • Christmas Day 

Anneka Rice has just spent the past 

two months shooting in mud and 

cement when she calls to chat about 

hosting BBC Radio 2’s Junior Choice 

on Christmas morning. 

‘The festive period is busy and 

noisy, but having just filmed an 

entire Challenge Anneka series, 

honestly, it will seem very relaxing 

compared to that! Whatever is 

thrown at me for the rest of the year 

will seem like a bit of a picnic,’ says 

the 64-year-old presenter. 

One of those things is the annual 

feast of music, nostalgia and comedy 

chosen by listeners, which she’s been 

presenting for the past five years. 

Junior Choice first aired in 1967, and it 

turns out it was pivotal in her own life… 

‘I love radio. It started off as a real 

comfort to me as a little girl,’ she says. 

‘The old-fashioned wireless was my lifeline 

because I had a fairly disrupted childhood, 

and I attached myself to it. 

‘I have memories of sitting with a little 

blanket over me, having my after-lunch 

nap to Listen With Mother. And I used to 

listen to Junior Choice, sitting for hours, 

waiting for the old nostalgic favourites to 

come on, like Sparky’s Magic Piano. 

‘And so it is in me, radio. All I ever wanted 

to do was work for the BBC. To be now 

hosting Junior Choice is not lost on me. It’s a 

big arc of my life, from that little girl thinking, 

“Ah, that’s what I want,” to presenting a really 

important peg for everyone’s Christmas.’ 

It’s clear she has fun helming the show, 

which will include a nod to the BBC’s centenary. 

‘I really do, because it’s that lovely connection

Sounds good:

‘IT’S A 

BIG 

ARC 

OF MY 

LIFE’ 

Anneka Rice 

reveals what 

an iconic 

radio show 

means to her 

with people,’ she says. ‘And 

I know that while I’m at work, 

my family’s beavering away 

at home. Actually, I say that 

– they’re mainly drinking as 

far as I can see! I get back and 

there’s just chaos. 

‘Last Christmas was very 

emotional because my 

youngest son had COVID and 

was on his own, so after the 

show finished, I went 

and stood at the end 

of his garden and 

we talked. 

‘My sister and her 

family weren’t able 

to get to mine to 

celebrate, which 

we’ve done every 

year for all her 

children’s lives. 

‘The COVID 

Christmas was 

devastating for 

a lot of people. And 

because I was having 

that pang of missing 

people myself, it 

became a particularly 

lovely programme, as 

we really were reaching 

out to people who were 

a bit lonely. It was just 

lovely to wrap everyone 

up in a warm embrace.’ 

During the 1980s and 1990s 

Anneka was known as telly’s 

action woman, thanks to 

Treasure Hunt 

and then 

Challenge Anneka. So what has 

it been like reviving the latter? 

‘It felt just the same. The funny 

thing was that people would 

combine my programmes. They’d 

go, “What are you building and 

where’s the helicopter?”’

It’s all a bit different at Brookfield 

this Christmas, as David struggles 

in what is usually Jill’s domain. And 

while the family remains anti-Vince, 

things are doubly awkward for 

Elizabeth, who can’t help but think 

of Nigel at this time of the year. 

Lynda’s reading of the Ambridge 

Christmas Chronicles gets underway, 

but whose tales have made the cut? 

Tony is left confused by a relative’s 

Christmas gift, while Jazzer plans 

a treat for Tracy – on which Chelsea 

is less than keen. Ben reveals his 

plans for 2023, and everyone 

rallies to support him. 

Also this fortnight, Ruth receives 

an unexpected call, Pip prepares 

to turn 30, Stella takes the initiative, 

George learns something he’d 

rather forget, and Fallon makes 

a startling discovery.

Welcome to 

our bumper 

Christmas quiz, 

taking in some of the 

past year’s television 

and radio highlights 

What a good year it’s been, too, with 

dramas and comedies in particular 

providing quality among the 

schedules that were thrown a 

curveball with the sad death of 

Elizabeth II in September, just three 

months after the climax of the 

Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Not 

forgetting the Women’s Euros, and 

the rugby and football World Cups. 

To solve the quiz, write the first 

letter of each answer to the 

questions about this year’s TV and 

radio in its corresponding box 

below. If asked for a person’s name, 

use the initial letter of the first name, 

unless otherwise stated. 

When complete, the letters will 

spell the title of a drama adaptation 

that aired in the spring.
