DRAMA<br />
ITV1 ● CHRISTMAS DAY<br />
DOC MARTIN<br />
Christmas special<br />
It signed off in the autumn after<br />
18 years and 10 series, but Doc<br />
Martin has saved the best till last,<br />
bowing out with its first – and<br />
also final – ever Christmas special.<br />
The fretful physician doesn’t<br />
do festive, which explains the<br />
previous lack of seasonal cheer,<br />
but this bumper bonus more than<br />
makes up for it, offering viewers<br />
glistening snow, a twinkly tree<br />
on Portwenn’s famous Platt, carol<br />
singers, turkey, a ghost and even<br />
Doc Martin Ellingham in a Santa<br />
suit, riding a sleigh – of sorts.<br />
‘This special seemed right, as an<br />
addendum to the final series<br />
– a little jingle bell on the end,’<br />
says Martin Clunes, who<br />
plays the central character.<br />
‘We filmed this in February,<br />
the first one back in the saddle<br />
for three years, and I’d started<br />
to ponder the end of the show.<br />
I remember waiting for my cue<br />
while I was sitting in a ludicrous<br />
motorised Santa sled just gazing<br />
over at a corner where I’d tripped<br />
over a cat in a previous series!’<br />
Needless to say, our anti-hero<br />
finds much to dislike as the village<br />
celebrates Yuletide and manages<br />
to upset even his young son,<br />

James Henry, who runs away<br />
– headed for the North Pole in<br />
search of Father Christmas after<br />
Martin decides to shut the local<br />
grotto on health grounds.<br />
There are shades of the Arctic<br />
in Portwenn, too, as icy weather<br />
sweeps through, carpeting it with<br />
snow – in real life the production<br />
was buffeted by Storm Eunice<br />
during filming, which nearly tore<br />
down the Christmas tree – and<br />
the Doc’s life hangs by a thread as<br />
he attends an emergency call out.<br />
In a case of life mirroring art,<br />
Martin Clunes had a lucky escape<br />
himself when a driving stunt went<br />
wrong, causing him to skid on fake<br />
snow before crashing into a tree.<br />
‘My job was to turn the car and<br />
steer out of the shot, at which<br />
point you cut to the<br />
stuntman driving it<br />

Will the grumpy<br />
Doc show some<br />
Christmas spirit?<br />
‘It’s a really lovely<br />
way to close the story’
’Tis the season<br />
How Martin and his family will<br />
be celebrating this Christmas<br />
After a momentous year in which he and his wife, Doc<br />
Martin producer Philippa Braithwaite, turned the page<br />
on a big chapter in their lives, it’s a traditional Christmas<br />
at home with daughter Emily and extended family.<br />
‘We have so much going on in the house at this time of<br />
year, as everyone descends from all over the country –<br />
nieces and nephews, who are all grown up now. It’s just<br />
lovely,’ explains the actor, who’s been busy since filming<br />
wrapped on a new Islands Of The Pacific series for ITV1.<br />
‘We don’t watch a lot of TV – and I don’t know<br />
if we’re going to make them watch this special!<br />
We have a lot of quizzes, dress the four dogs<br />
up, and go to the local pub on Boxing Day,<br />
where they have an old skittle alley for<br />
a game. Then they shut us in<br />
a room because we get<br />
quite rowdy!’<br />
Jolly scenes: The<br />
village of Portwenn<br />
celebrates the season<br />
into the tree. We rehearsed and it<br />
looked really, really slow, so I just<br />
went a bit faster. A bit too fast,<br />
because the brakes locked and<br />
I crashed into a tree. The stuntman<br />
then got in the car with a harness,<br />
a helmet and padding, and hit<br />
the tree a lot slower than I had!’<br />
In one magical scene, Portwenn’s<br />
Santa, played by special guest<br />
Ron Cook, decides to teach the<br />
GP the true meaning of Christmas<br />
by clambering up on to his roof<br />
and delivering presents down the<br />
chimney. But the special stops shy<br />
of sentimentality and viewers can<br />
expect a typical Doc Martin pay-off.<br />
‘It’s a very beautiful Christmassy<br />
episode with this lovely snowy<br />
backdrop, which we’ve never seen<br />
before, and it’s a lovely way to close<br />
the book on the story,’ explains<br />
Caroline Catz, who plays Doc<br />
Martin’s wife, Louisa. ‘There’s a<br />
very final, beautiful ending, which<br />
is funny and quite apocalyptic!’<br />

● CHRISTMAS EVE<br />
CHRISTMAS CAROLE<br />
One-off<br />
My six-year-old is at a great<br />
age for this and I wanted to<br />
make something for him. By<br />
modernising the classic story,<br />
it’s really taken a fun and<br />
unexpected twist on how you<br />
think about A Christmas Carol.<br />
It has a female Scrooge, which<br />
feels fresh and different.<br />
I play Carole, who has made<br />
her wealth online selling<br />
disposable singleuse<br />
Christmas<br />
decorations. She<br />
thinks she runs<br />
the world,<br />
and doesn’t<br />
care that<br />
she’s making<br />
a profit from<br />
tat and is<br />
mean to her<br />
staff. The story<br />
has a core<br />
message of<br />
Comic advice: Carole<br />
(Suranne Jones) with<br />
Eric Morecambe<br />
(Jonty Stephens)<br />
family, like the original, but<br />
the themes are contemporary.<br />
Everyone has probably got<br />
a load of stuff that you can<br />
make things out of, that are<br />
just as good as buying the<br />
decorations Carole sells.<br />
I think the conversation about<br />
sustainability is important.<br />
And there’s also the twist<br />
of the comedians, as the<br />
three spirits of Christmas –<br />
comedians we love from the<br />
past [Jonty Stephens and Ian<br />
Ashpitel as Eric Morecambe<br />
and Ernie Wise], one from the<br />
present [Jo Brand], and<br />
one who some<br />
viewers will be<br />
introduced to<br />
[Nish Kumar].<br />
We want<br />
people to<br />
learn their<br />
lesson, come<br />
good and<br />
be given<br />
a chance<br />
to redeem<br />
themselves.<br />

Christmas Day deliveries don’t<br />
come any more joyful than<br />
a baby. There are a few<br />
complications, of course,<br />
but that just makes it<br />
even more special.<br />
There’s love in the<br />
air too, and you’ll be<br />
pleased to know Fred<br />
(Cliff Parisi) puts on his Santa<br />
outfit again to give out gifts<br />
to needy kids in hospital.<br />
‘We’ve never done a festive<br />
episode that, from beginning<br />
to end, has been so embracing<br />
of Christmas itself,’ says Jenny<br />
Agutter, who plays Sister<br />
Julienne. ‘There are so many<br />
themes woven in. A lot is going<br />
on, but every one, in some<br />
way, reflects a Christmas tale.’<br />
The Mullucks return. The<br />
family appeared in series five<br />
and six in a story about the<br />
damaging effects of the drug<br />
Thalidomide, which was used<br />
to relieve morning sickness.<br />
Now pregnant again, Rhoda<br />
Mullucks (Liz White) – whose<br />
youngest daughter, Susan, lost<br />
her limbs due to Thalidomide<br />
– is worried her new baby may<br />
also be affected, even though<br />
she is assured by Dr Turner<br />
(Stephen McGann) it won’t.<br />
Rhoda’s husband, Bernie<br />

difficult being Susan’s dad<br />
and having a lack of support<br />
and money. He has taken to<br />
drowning his sorrows.<br />
‘It felt terrific to be able to<br />
get back to the Mullucks, not<br />
the least of which is because<br />
they are played by wonderful<br />
actors,’ says Jenny. ‘That is<br />
an overriding story, which<br />
is still not fully resolved.’<br />
Meanwhile, excitement<br />
spreads right through<br />
Nonnatus House when<br />
word of Matthew’s (Olly Rix)<br />
plans to propose to Trixie<br />
(Helen George) leak out. But<br />
every time the poor guy tries<br />
to pop the question, there<br />
is a distraction that causes<br />
the nurse to be called away.<br />
‘It was really nice this<br />
series, because after having to<br />
film previously with COVID<br />
restrictions, we could touch<br />
patients, which is so crucial<br />
in caring – plus it meant<br />
that Trixie and Matthew<br />
could kiss!’ says Helen.<br />
Feeling everyone needs<br />
cheering up after the train<br />
crash tragedy at the<br />
end of the last<br />
series, Fred<br />

All the festive ingredients<br />

it to get into the festive spirit<br />

‘Well, we had fake snow<br />

Cliff. ‘And there were<br />

The team have just<br />
finished filming the 12th<br />

early in the New Year,<br />
but it was more difficult<br />
than usual due to the<br />

DANCING<br />
Christmas special<br />
Back in 2019, comedian, actor<br />
and presenter Chris Ramsey<br />
finished an impressive fourth<br />
on Strictly Come Dancing,<br />
partnered with Karen Hauer.<br />
Now, his wife Rosie is following<br />
in his footsteps by doing the<br />
<strong>2022</strong> Strictly Christmas special<br />
with dancer Neil Jones.<br />
‘I’ve always watched Strictly,<br />
and I never thought I’d get the<br />
opportunity to do it myself,’ says<br />
Rosie, who launched hit podcast<br />
Shagged. Married. Annoyed with<br />
Chris, before taking their feisty<br />
banter to TV in The Chris And<br />
Rosie Ramsey Show.<br />
‘When Chris did it, obviously<br />
I wanted it even more. So when<br />
I was asked to do this, I grabbed<br />
it with both hands.’<br />
The couple are dancing a jive to<br />
Elton John’s Step Into Christmas,<br />
and Neil has been impressed<br />
with his new partner’s progress.<br />
‘It’s my favourite dance, and<br />
I think Rosie is a natural at it<br />
– she’s a jive dancer!’ he says.<br />
But Rosie admits that while<br />
she loved the idea of appearing<br />
on Strictly, it’s been gruelling.<br />
‘It is so hard,’ says the mum<br />
to two boys – Robin, seven,<br />
and Rafe, who will turn two<br />
in January.<br />
‘I naively watch every week<br />
at home, going, “Oh, that looks<br />
so easy.” It is not! It’s so difficult<br />
and exhausting.’<br />

as part of its mental health<br />

They’ve found the perfect host<br />

feels Christmas is the ideal time<br />
for a show like this, which also<br />
features the celebrity singers<br />
opening up about their own<br />
issues and struggles.<br />

‘Lisa Riley rapping at will.i.am<br />

But it’s the studio audience<br />

‘We’re all aiming for the<br />

‘I was just thinking, “She<br />

than me as a pro!’<br />
Here’s hoping it’s all right on<br />

But this time round, Chris<br />
can relax from the comfort of<br />
his audience seat.<br />
‘When Chris was on the show,<br />
I had such a good time,’ Rosie<br />
admits. ‘I had a party every<br />
weekend! If the pressure is not<br />

THE BOY, THE MOLE,<br />
THE FOX AND<br />
THE HORSE<br />
One-off<br />
What made you want to get<br />
involved with this project?<br />
I’ve always been a fan of Charlie’s<br />
work. The Boy, The Mole, The Fox<br />
And The Horse is a unique story<br />
that transcends ages and genres.<br />
The idea came about as we were<br />
going into the pandemic, and it<br />
felt like an opportunity to get<br />
stuck into something inspiring<br />
and meaningful, working with<br />
some truly talented people.<br />
How did you find the process<br />
of recording the voice?<br />
Charlie had a very clear vision of<br />
how each character sounded. All<br />
very distinct voices that captured<br />
the essence of each character.<br />
We were doing this throughout<br />
the pandemic, so it<br />
was a case of getting<br />
our heads together<br />
when we could and<br />
slowly bringing the<br />
fox to life – creating<br />
his spirit through his<br />
thought-provoking,<br />
if few, words.<br />
The fox is the most solo<br />
of the group…<br />
He’s an outsider, somewhat<br />
untrusting of the world, and<br />
takes his time to open up and<br />
be vulnerable. I connected with<br />
him and it was amazing to see<br />
his journey through the story.<br />
I think there’s a part in all of us<br />
that feels like the fox. That’s the<br />
beauty of Charlie’s work – we<br />
see ourselves in the characters<br />
and can relate to their journeys.<br />

Since 2009, the BBC’s<br />
half-hour animations,<br />
based on the books<br />
written by Julia<br />
Donaldson and<br />
illustrated by Axel<br />
Scheffler, have become<br />
a festive staple. Stories such<br />
as<br />
The Gruffalo and Stick<br />
Man<br />
have captivated young<br />
children and their parents
all ages’ The<br />
ghosts<br />
of Christmas<br />
present<br />
Forever friends: The characters<br />
are voiced by Jude Coward<br />
Nicoll (The Boy), Tom Hollander<br />
(The Mole), Idris Elba (The Fox)<br />
and Gabriel Byrne (The Horse)<br />
alike, but in a time of so<br />
much conflict, this year’s<br />
offering, The Smeds And The<br />
Smoos – which features the<br />
voices of Bill Bailey, Adjoa<br />
Andoh, Meera Syal and<br />
Rob Brydon – seems<br />
particularly poignant.<br />
On a far-off<br />
planet, the<br />
Smeds (red)<br />
never mix<br />
with the<br />
Smoos (blue)<br />
– until a<br />
young Smed,<br />
Janet, and a<br />
young Smoo,<br />
Bill, fall in love<br />
and elope in<br />
a rocket.<br />
Their families must<br />
reluctantly join forces in<br />
the search for the runaway<br />
couple – touching down on<br />
other worlds inhabited by<br />
various weird and wonderful<br />
aliens during the process,<br />
and eventually befriending<br />
each other.<br />
‘I mean, really, the story is<br />
totally pinched from Romeo<br />
And Juliet, but with a happy<br />
ending!’ smiles Julia, talking<br />
Winning partnership:<br />
Author Julia and<br />
illustrator Axel<br />
to Total TV Guide in a<br />
London hotel, alongside<br />
her long-term collaborator<br />
Axel (since 1993, they have<br />
worked on no fewer than<br />
28 books together).<br />
‘We’ve got<br />
Romeo<br />
And Juliet, we’ve got<br />
West Side Story,<br />
and they’re<br />
tragic tales.<br />
So maybe<br />
viewers of<br />
The Smeds<br />
And The<br />
Smoos would<br />
take a bit of<br />
hope. There<br />
is so much<br />
prejudice in the<br />
world – I hope<br />
people might learn<br />
to be less so.’<br />
German-born Axel agrees.<br />
‘I worked on the book at a<br />
time of great division in this<br />
country, at the time of Brexit,’<br />
he says. ‘I think it’s a strong<br />
message for unity, against<br />
prejudice and about working<br />
together and overcoming<br />
differences. I think that’s<br />
the big theme of this story.’<br />

GHOSTS<br />
Christmas special<br />
If you’re a living person who<br />
socialises with ghosts, it might<br />
be tricky to think of a present for<br />
your dead friends. Equally, for<br />
the departed, being deceased<br />
is a major obstacle to getting<br />
your Christmas shopping done.<br />
But Alison Cooper (Charlotte<br />
Ritchie) is determined to give her<br />
spirited buddies a treat they’ll<br />
appreciate this Christmas – and<br />
they want to return the favour…<br />
‘Mike [Kiell Smith-Bynoe] and<br />
Alison are spending Christmas<br />
Day away from Button House, as<br />
they’re going to see his parents,’<br />
reveals Charlotte, 33. ‘So Alison<br />
has prepped some surprises<br />
for the ghosts.’<br />
Given how needy the ghosts<br />
can be, is she concerned about<br />
how they’ll cope without her?<br />
‘It’s Kitty [Lolly Adefope] who<br />
Alison worries about the most,’<br />
says Charlotte. ‘She’s so childlike<br />
How do you buy<br />
a gift for a spook?<br />
Charlotte Ritchie<br />
reveals allÉ<br />
Spirit of Christmas:<br />
Charlotte and her<br />
ghostly chums<br />
– and so excited about the day!<br />
But deep down, Alison enjoys<br />
time away from the ghosts. It’s<br />
like parents who get away from<br />
their kids for the evening.’<br />
So, what about those presents?<br />
‘Alison is really thoughtful,’ she<br />
says. ‘She spends so much time<br />
with the ghosts, the gifts she<br />
comes up with are so specific<br />
and lovely. They’re touched. At<br />
this point, the audience knows<br />
the characters well, so you’ll<br />
understand just how much each<br />
ghost will adore their gift.’<br />
Keen to enter into the spirit of<br />
the season, the ghosts arrange<br />
their own present for Alison.<br />
‘Their ability to get anything<br />
material is quite limited!’ says<br />
Charlotte. ‘So, their gift has to<br />
be of a very personal nature.’<br />
But what can it possibly be?<br />
Charlotte isn’t letting on.<br />
‘It involves a lot of input and<br />
a lot of soul,’ she hints. ‘It’s a real<br />
treat. When you see what they<br />
do for Alison, it will feel like a<br />
gift for the viewer, too…’<br />

DETECTORISTS<br />
One-off<br />
The advent of streaming and<br />
on-demand services such as<br />
BBC iPlayer and Netflix means<br />
people are often discovering<br />
shows some time after their<br />
first screening. Mackenzie<br />
Crook believes his BAFTAwinning<br />
comedy Detectorists,<br />
C<br />
which returns for a one-off<br />
special, is something<br />
of a case in point.<br />
‘In the five years since<br />
the last series aired, the<br />
programme has acquired<br />
a lot more fans than<br />
originally watched it,’ says<br />
Mackenzie, who’s talking to<br />
Total TV Guide via Zoom from<br />
the shed (which functions as<br />
his writing space) at his home<br />
in London’s Muswell Hill. ‘It’s<br />
had this slow growth of<br />
audience, and all these new<br />
viewers have never had the treat of a brand-new episode<br />
(Mackenzie) and Lance (Toby<br />
to watch. That’s one of the big<br />
reasons why I wanted to write<br />
this special.’<br />

There is hope on the horizon,<br />
however, when Lance manages<br />
to secure permission for him<br />
and Andy to search 10 acres of<br />
farmland where the discovery<br />
of a delicate precious relic could<br />
potentially save the venue.<br />
In a case of life imitating art,<br />
Mackenzie reveals that creating<br />
a series about metal-detecting<br />
made him want to follow in the<br />
footsteps of Andy and Lance.<br />
‘I wasn’t into it before, but<br />
once I started researching the<br />
subject, I got myself a metal<br />
detector. I can’t be called a<br />
detectorist, because I only go<br />
out once or twice a year, but<br />
it’s a fascinating hobby’.<br />
Has he himself unearthed<br />
anything worthy of the DMDC’s<br />
‘finds table’? With that,<br />
Mackenzie turns away from the<br />
camera to a shelf behind him<br />
and produces a small gold item,<br />
which he proudly holds up.<br />
‘You probably can’t see it<br />
too clearly on the screen,<br />
but it’s either an earring or a<br />
pendant that’s Roman gold.<br />
I had it verified by the British<br />
Museum and then it went<br />
before a coroner. It had to fulfil<br />
various criteria to be declared<br />
treasure – such as being made<br />
of precious metal. It was then,<br />
as per protocol, offered to<br />
museums, but none were<br />
interested. So I got to keep it!’<br />
Detectorists fans will know it’s<br />
customary for anyone who finds<br />
gold to perform a celebratory<br />
‘gold dance’. Did Mackenzie get<br />
on down after his discovery?<br />
‘When I dug it up, it was quite<br />
dark, so I couldn’t make out<br />
what I had. But back at home,<br />
I could see it properly – and I did<br />
a little jig in my kitchen!’<br />

BBC1 ● NEW YEAR’S DAY<br />
HAPPY VALLEY<br />
Six episodes<br />
‘Considering how long ago<br />
it finished, it’s surprising how<br />
many people still go on about<br />
Happy Valley,’ laughs writer<br />
Sally Wainwright. ‘It made an<br />
impact, which is wonderful<br />
for everyone involved.’<br />
Indeed, it’s been six years<br />
since we last visited police<br />
officer Catherine Cawood<br />
(Sarah Lancashire), her<br />
grandson Ryan (Rhys Connah),<br />
his father, banged-up killer<br />
Tommy Lee Royce (James<br />
Norton), and her sister Clare<br />
(Siobhan Finneran).<br />
But now the show is making<br />
a dramatic return – and things<br />
have changed, especially<br />
for Catherine.<br />
‘Catherine is probably in<br />
the best place we’ve ever seen<br />
her,’ reveals Sally. ‘In series<br />
one, Ryan was only seven<br />
or eight, and so what had<br />
happened to her daughter<br />
was relatively recent.<br />
‘The idea is that in the last<br />
six years, nothing has occurred<br />
that’s given us any reason to<br />
believe Ryan thinks about<br />
his dad much.<br />
‘It also made sense that<br />
now, Catherine probably is in<br />
a better place. She’s coming up<br />
to retirement, she has plans.<br />
Ryan is nearly old enough to<br />
be considering leaving home<br />
and moving on. So it comes as<br />
a real shock to her when she<br />
realises that he has been<br />
thinking about Tommy.’<br />
Sally left a deliberate time<br />
gap between series so the<br />
character of Ryan could reach<br />
adulthood and think about<br />
his relationship with his father<br />
– who raped his mother and
Sympathy for the devil?<br />
James Norton’s Tommy Lee Royce is a changed man…<br />
Tommy is still in prison, serving multiple life sentences,<br />
but he has changed. He has moved on and matured –<br />
there’s a definite shift in his demeanour and temperament.<br />
I think that’s because, for the first time in a long time, he’s<br />
got hope. He has information about something we don’t<br />
know about yet – but that knowledge in this situation has<br />
given him a sense of contentment.<br />
Catherine and Ryan are the two big poles of his<br />
existence. Catherine has her family and doesn’t want to<br />
think about Tommy, but Tommy forces his way into her<br />
life and her consciousness. They are, in the best way,<br />
obsessed with each other. There’s a deep hatred. They<br />
have a kind of shared experience and so, in that<br />
way, they are inextricably linked and will always<br />
be, in some way, kind of married together.<br />
New man:<br />
Tommy has<br />
moved on,<br />
but for<br />
better or<br />
worse?<br />
caused her to take her own life.<br />
‘We could only really come<br />
back when Ryan got to be 16 or<br />
17 – old enough to have some<br />
agency in the world and to think<br />
for himself about what he wants<br />
and who he is – to let us really<br />
explore that,’ explains Sally.<br />
‘As I was writing the last series,<br />
it became apparent that might<br />
be a way to go forward. But it<br />
kind of just turned out that way,<br />
because I got sidetracked by<br />
writing Gentleman<br />
Jack, which took so<br />
long due to being<br />
such an intense<br />
thing – reading the<br />
diaries, and then<br />
turning them into<br />
drama. But it worked<br />
out well and that<br />
amount of<br />
time passed.<br />
‘The last<br />
shot of<br />
series<br />
Writer extraordinaire:<br />
Sally Wainwright<br />
two of Happy Valley was<br />
when Catherine and Ryan<br />
were out for a walk on the<br />
fields above Hebden Bridge,<br />
and there’s that final image<br />
of Catherine watching him<br />
with a look of terror on her<br />
face, thinking, “What if he<br />
grows up wrong? What if<br />
he’s like his dad?”<br />
‘He was quite badly<br />
behaved at school and<br />
always in trouble, and he<br />
couldn’t concentrate. It’s<br />
addressing that and finding<br />
out where he is now.<br />
‘The big question,<br />
though, is which side will<br />
‘Catherine is<br />
probably in the<br />
best place we’ve<br />
ever seen her’<br />
Stepping in: Catherine has been raising<br />
grandson Ryan after his mother’s death<br />
he come down on?’ adds Sally.<br />
‘Will he see his dad as someone<br />
who’s afflicted and who we<br />
should be sympathetic towards,<br />
or will he see him in<br />
the way Catherine<br />
does? For him to want<br />
to explore that is<br />
deeply distressing for<br />
Catherine and fires up<br />
extreme emotions.’<br />
It’s all as compelling<br />
as ever, taking many<br />
a dark turn. But what about<br />
Happy Valley made it such<br />
a big hit with viewers?<br />
‘I think it’s probably a<br />
combination of things – the<br />
cast, the writing, being well<br />
directed, and very realistic<br />
when it touched on a genuine<br />
problem,’ says Sally. ‘Rural<br />
areas are badly affected by<br />
drug and alcohol issues. It<br />
also covered the fact that<br />
police officers like Catherine<br />
just get to mop up the debris of<br />
what happens, and never feel<br />
like the problems get solved.<br />
That was Catherine’s complaint<br />
in the first season, but this time<br />
we get closer to some of the<br />
drug kingpins in the area.<br />
‘I think its success was due<br />
to Sarah in that role, and James<br />
as Tommy. They both really put<br />
their heart and soul into it, and<br />
it came across on screen in such<br />
a palpable way.’<br />

WATERLOO ROAD<br />
All seven eps also available on<br />
BBC iPlayer from Tues 3 Jan<br />
When Waterloo Road became<br />
a BBC iPlayer hit during<br />
lockdown, it also led to a new<br />
lease of life for the schoolbased<br />
drama, whose doors<br />
closed in 2015 after nine years<br />
on air. As a new term begins,<br />
it also marks the return of<br />
original cast member Angela<br />
Griffin playing Kim Campbell,<br />
now the school’s new head<br />
teacher. However, she never<br />
thought she’d be back in the<br />
role she left 12 years ago.<br />
‘Oh, my God, no,’ says<br />
Angela, 46. ‘Once it finished,<br />
it didn’t even enter my head<br />
the show would come back.<br />
Not many can, and do, return.’<br />
It was a lunch with<br />
executive producer Cameron<br />
Roach, whose company was<br />
pitching the revamped show<br />
to the BBC, that convinced<br />
Angela to rejoin.<br />
‘I thought, “I’m not sure,<br />
I’ll go and see what the deal<br />
is.” But that just made me go,<br />
“I definitely want to reboard.”<br />
‘It’s 100 per cent the<br />
same, but totally different.<br />
It’s a show made for <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
I didn’t want to go back<br />
and play the character as<br />
she was, because that’s<br />
boring. The life events that<br />
have occurred to Kim since<br />
we last saw her mean it does<br />
feel like more like a spin-off<br />
than a reboot.’<br />
Angela is one of three<br />
original cast members to<br />
return, alongside Adam<br />
Thomas and Katie Griffiths,<br />
while new faces include Kym<br />
Marsh. Is she nervous about<br />
the reaction to the new look?<br />
‘There are some people here<br />
who are, but I’m not, because<br />
I know it’s good. The heart of<br />
Waterloo Road is right there.’<br />

RIPTIDE<br />
Four episodes<br />
Did you watch Lie With Me on Channel<br />
5 last year? Written by Neighbours<br />
executive producer Jason Herbison, it<br />
saw Charlie Brooks – EastEnders’ Janine<br />
– camping it up in an Aussie mansion<br />
while her husband enjoyed kinky sex<br />
with the nanny in the basement. A<br />
similar perfect blend of Walford and<br />
Erinsborough will see Danny Dyer (Mick<br />
Carter) star in a five-part thriller called<br />
Heat next year, in his first role since<br />
quitting the Square.<br />
And this week, Jo<br />
Joyner (aka Tanya<br />
Branning) plays<br />
Alison, whose<br />
wealthy new<br />
husband Sean<br />
vanishes off<br />
the Aussie<br />
coast during<br />
his morning<br />
Disappeared:<br />
Sean (Peter<br />
O’Brien) goes<br />
missing while<br />
surfing<br />
surf. Did he<br />
get caught in a<br />
lethal riptide and<br />
drown – or is there<br />
something more sinister to it?<br />
‘When we meet Alison, she’s a happy,<br />
chilled person. Like all the best thrillers,<br />
she’s in a really good place before it<br />
all goes wrong, right?’ laughs Jo.<br />
Sean is played by Peter O’Brien,<br />
better known as Neighbours’ hunky<br />
Shane Ramsay back in the day. Ripper!<br />
‘When I got back from Australia and<br />
told my friends, “Yeah, the guy who<br />
played my husband was in Neighbours,”<br />
they were all, like, “What? I really<br />
fancied Peter O’Brien!”’<br />
But is Alison all she appears? There’s<br />
a hint in episode one that her stepson<br />
suspects she’s a gold-digger.<br />
‘Towards the end of the show, the<br />
audience hold a lot of the cards, and<br />
that has its own thrill, because they<br />
know who is in jeopardy and who isn’t.’<br />
Back in Blighty, Jo is looking forward<br />
to getting stuck in to the festivities.<br />
‘We never watch any telly on<br />
Christmas Day! And this year we<br />
certainly won’t, because I’ve got my<br />
best friend [Ackley Bridge actor] Sunetra<br />
Sarker coming, and she’s a big games<br />
master. Her husband and I do the food,<br />
she’s in charge of the quizzes, while my<br />
husband takes care of the fire.’<br />

STONEHOUSE<br />
All three eps also available on<br />
ITVX from Holiday Mon 2 Jan<br />
I was born the month<br />
before John Stonehouse<br />
faked his own death in<br />
November 1974. So I didn’t<br />
know much about the story<br />
before this project came<br />
along. And I conflated it with<br />
the 1970s TV series The Fall<br />
And Rise Of Reginald Perrin.<br />
The younger Stonehouse<br />
was a bit of a rising star in<br />
the Labour party. A bright,<br />
self-possessed man. But he<br />
also did a bit of moonlighting<br />
for the Czech Secret Service!<br />
John Preston’s scripts are<br />
brilliant. I found it funny, odd,<br />
moving and English, a similar<br />
feel to the TV drama Quiz<br />
[about the Who Wants To Be A<br />
Millionaire? scandal] I was in.<br />
John is very good at writing<br />
perfectly crafted scenes that<br />
swing along and are very nice<br />
to play. There is also a rather<br />
poignant theme through this<br />
involving a boyhood memory<br />
that Stonehouse carries<br />
with him when things<br />
are going wrong.<br />
Ultimately, he was only<br />
discovered in Australia<br />
[where he was building<br />
a new life under a new<br />
identity] because somebody<br />
thought he was Lord Lucan!<br />

for a moving drama<br />
AVAILABLE<br />
FROM THURS 29 DEC<br />
WITHOUT SIN<br />
It’s 12 years since This Is England<br />
’86 – a spin-off from the 2006 film<br />
– aired on Channel 4. Line Of Duty<br />
star Vicky McClure played factory<br />
worker Lol, and Johnny Harris<br />
(The Salisbury Poisonings) her<br />
violent rapist father, Mick.<br />
Vicky and Johnny became close<br />
friends, and jumped at the<br />
chance of working with each<br />
other again on<br />
Without Sin.<br />
Vicky plays Stella, a mother<br />
deep in grief following the<br />
murder of her daughter<br />
Maisy, which Stella<br />
happened upon after<br />
a night out – with Charles,<br />
played by Johnny, standing<br />
over Maisy’s body.<br />
‘Stella has got strained<br />
relationships with her ex and<br />
her mum, and she’s smoking<br />
cannabis – which is making<br />
her even more insular and<br />
paranoid,’ says Vicky.<br />
In the first episode, Stella<br />
is persuaded to visit Charles<br />
in prison – and Johnny is<br />
mesmerisingly ambivalent.<br />
‘I guess the challenge was<br />
that I knew where Charles<br />
was going and whether he<br />
was guilty,’ says Johnny.<br />
We’re chatting to the pair,<br />
who are executive producers<br />
of the drama, at a community<br />
arts centre in Vicky’s home<br />
city of Nottingham, where<br />
Without Sin is set, and where<br />
she still lives. ‘I was adamant it<br />
was shot here. The city hones<br />
a lot of incredible talent. It’s a<br />
beautiful place which is ready<br />
to be seen on the screen.’<br />

WEDDING<br />
Tyrone wants to make an honest woman of Fiz – but where is she?<br />
After a nightmarish couple<br />
of years dealing with affairs,<br />
unruly kids and the ghosts of<br />
their exes, Fiz and Tyrone are<br />
finally back on an even keel.<br />
So he’s determined to cement<br />
their future with a Christmas<br />
Day wedding – if only he’d<br />
told her about it…<br />
While he’s been planning the<br />
surprise ceremony, an oblivious<br />
Fiz has become increasingly<br />
disillusioned by her boyfriend’s<br />
apparent disinterest in the festive<br />
season and she’s gutted when<br />

Christmas morning. Failing to<br />
pick up on her mood, an excited<br />
Tyrone secretly gets Hope and<br />
Accidents happen<br />
Spotting a drunken Teddy on his way to<br />
the Rovers, Stephen wonders what he’s<br />
discovered in Canada. His worst fears are<br />
realised when the worried dad reveals<br />

came from Weatherfield. But fate takes<br />
a hand when his nemesis crosses the<br />
street, and is mown down by a van…<br />

that she’s gone to buy a turkey,<br />
Tyrone calls his girlfriend’s<br />

hotel and Bernie and Dev offer<br />
to wait for his bride to return,<br />
while out on a deserted country<br />
road, Fiz’s car breaks down and,<br />
realising she’s forgotten her<br />
phone, she sets off on foot…<br />
As the minutes tick by, Tyrone<br />
loses hope and finally tells his<br />
guests the wedding is off. As<br />
of them again. Convinced he’s dodged<br />
another bullet, Stephen’s thrilled to<br />
discover that Six Fellas have settled<br />
out of court and paid him £10,000 in<br />
compensation. Heading out to watch<br />
the New Year fireworks, he smugly<br />
tells Elaine he has a feeling 2023 is<br />
going to be a very good year.<br />
But as he later joins Jenny on a visit to<br />
the hospital, Teddy suddenly opens his<br />
eyes! Is Stephen’s luck about to run out?<br />

Although they’ve never quite caught<br />
the imagination in the way the Harry<br />
Potter movies did, the Fantastic<br />
Beasts prequels, involving a younger<br />
Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) and<br />
his protégé Newt Scamander (Eddie<br />
Redmayne), still have plenty of magic<br />
to keep fans of JK Rowling’s Wizarding<br />
World happy. This instalment is set in<br />
a stunningly rendered 1930s Germany,<br />
where the dark magician Gellert<br />
Grindelwald plans to destroy all<br />
Muggles and assume control of the<br />
world. Because of their blood pact,<br />
Dumbledore can’t intervene directly,<br />
so he assembles a team of talents to<br />
battle Grindelwald’s army of bad<br />
spellers. Mads Mikkelsen replaces<br />
Johnny Depp (the latter stepped<br />
down owing to his defamation case<br />
against The Sun) and is at the same<br />
time subtler and more chilling in the<br />
role than Depp ever was. With Ezra<br />
Miller, Dan Fogler, Callum Turner<br />
and Katherine Waterston. British TV<br />

Daniel Craig’s swan song as Bond<br />
– the 25th entry in the franchise –<br />
draws together narrative strands<br />
from his previous outings and<br />
delivers a dizzying emotional<br />
punch. Believing that he was<br />
betrayed by his lover Madeline<br />
Swann (Léa Seydoux), 007 has<br />
retired and is living in Jamaica.<br />
But he’s called back into the fray<br />
by his old CIA pal Felix Leiter<br />
(Jeffrey Wright), who wants him<br />
to extract a boffin from Spectre’s<br />
clutches. There’s a fiendish new<br />
weapon on the scene, plus a pair<br />
of kickass heroines in Bond’s<br />
00-colleague Nomi (Lashana<br />
Lynch) and Cuban agent Paloma<br />
(Ana de Armas). And even if<br />
Rami Malek disappoints slightly<br />
as scarred supervillain Lyutsifer<br />
Safin, this is a fitting finale for<br />
Craig, with its suitably outrageous<br />
action and lump-in-the-throat<br />
payoff. Christoph Waltz, Naomie<br />

star, while Billie Eilish sings the<br />

SUNDAY<br />
Today’s pick<br />
The King<br />
BBC1/BBC2/ITV1, 3pm We’ll tune in with<br />
mixed emotions today as King Charles III<br />
delivers his first seasonal message after the<br />
death of Queen Elizabeth – and she’s a hard<br />
act to follow. Delivering her first in 1952, she’s<br />
been a part of Christmas Day ever since and<br />
spoke movingly of her husband’s death last<br />
year. But this is the first King’s speech in nearly<br />
70 years, and the first time a male monarch<br />
has given it on TV, so it’s history in the making.<br />

BBC1, 7.55pm You know all is well when Fred<br />
puts on his Santa outfit to give presents to<br />
children in hospital. And, yes, there’s snow. So<br />
far, so good. But it gets better with Matthew<br />
planning to propose to Trixie, if he ever gets<br />
the chance! And there’s excellent performances<br />
from guest stars Liz White and Chris Reilly who<br />
return as the Mullocks, struggling to look after<br />
their Thalidomide-impaired daughter, with<br />
mum Rhoda now expecting her fourth child.<br />

toured all over the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand in<br />
<strong>2022</strong>, Beckett performs his first televised stand-up special at<br />

Today’s pick<br />
Miriam Margolyes:<br />
Australia Unmasked<br />
BBC2, 9pm The actress and writer has been<br />
popping up on our screens a lot lately.<br />
In this returning series, the octogenarian is<br />
heading off on another road trip down under<br />
– this time along the bottom of the land,<br />
taking in the sights from Tasmania towards<br />
Western Australia. And she’s keen to explore<br />
the thoroughly Aussie ethos of the ‘Fair Go’<br />
which she promised herself she’d stick to<br />
after getting her citizenship in 2013.<br />
Riptide<br />
Channel 5, 9pm This new UK-Australian<br />
co-production comes from the team that<br />
brought us last year’s Lie With Me, and, like its<br />
predecessor, it unites former EastEnders and<br />
Neighbours stars – in this case Jo Joyner and<br />
Peter O’Brien. The four-part thriller follows<br />
Alison (Joyner), who weds older and wealthier<br />
Sean (O’Brien). However, their respective exes<br />
resent the marriage. So, when Sean goes<br />
missing, could foul play be involved?<br />

BBC1, 8pm They say a dog is a man’s best<br />
friend, but it’s unlikely you’d take any of the<br />
canids featured in this series for walkies.<br />
Wolves, foxes, jackals and dogs are among<br />
the 37 different types of canid, and this<br />
opening episode, narrated by Chris Packham,<br />
begins in the Himalayas as a Tibetan fox looks<br />
for its next meal. We also meet the smallest<br />
canid in the Sahara desert, the dhole in India<br />
(above), and the mane wolf in South America.<br />

Antiques Roadshow:<br />
Toys & Childhood Special<br />
BBC1, 8pm An episode featuring some of the<br />
toys and games we’ve loved the most over<br />
the past 100 years – from teddy bears and<br />
wooden Wind In The Willows figures (above)<br />
to Sindy, Star Wars dolls, Pac Man and even<br />
some drawings for kids’ TV show Teletubbies.<br />
Roadshow experts also bring along their own<br />
cherished childhood toys – including Bunny<br />
Campione’s namesake ‘Bunny’ – while<br />
Jonathan Ross shows off his collection.<br />
Marie Antoinette<br />
BBC2, 9pm If you enjoyed the film The<br />
Favourite, with Olivia Colman, then this series<br />
from the same writer should appeal. Marie<br />
Antoinette (Emilia Schüle) was only 14 when<br />
she left Austria to marry the Dauphin of France.<br />
But rather than the cake-espousing airhead of<br />
folklore she was a free-spirited, independentminded<br />
feminist. Tonight she meets her<br />
gauche new husband and gets to grips with<br />
the bizarre rules of etiquette at Versailles.<br />

Macaque: Monkeys<br />
In The Mountains…<br />
BBC1, 7.30pm An astonishing – often brutal –<br />
glimpse at the struggle for survival and<br />
dominance within a troop of Barbary macaque<br />
monkeys high in the Atlas Mountains of<br />
Morocco. Narrated by Sir David Attenborough,<br />
the film follows alpha male Mac as he fights<br />
off his rivals to maintain his position, through<br />
both bitter cold and searing heat. It’s a tale<br />
of epic proportions, with surprising twists and<br />
an unexpected outcome.<br />
Jason Manford:<br />
Recent Nostalgia<br />
BBC1, 10.30pm In this filmed version of his Like<br />
Me tour, recorded at Sheffield’s City Hall at the<br />
end of September, Jason reflects on absurd<br />
moments from lockdown, his early days on the<br />
comedy circuit and why men aren’t as clever as<br />
women think they are. The special culminates<br />
in his song Assembly Bangers, a dance track<br />
medley of religious songs sung in school<br />
assemblies down the decades, such as the<br />
rousing He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands.<br />

Sam Ryder Rocks<br />
New Year’s Eve<br />
BBC1, 11.30pm What a year it’s been for Sam<br />
Ryder. The perma-smiling singer took the UK<br />
to second place at Eurovision, performed at<br />
the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee concert, was part<br />
of the Taylor Hawkins tribute show and this<br />
year’s Royal Variety. So, to top off an incredible<br />
<strong>2022</strong>, he’s ringing in 2023 with his own special,<br />
featuring hits spanning the decades, special<br />
guests and dazzling duets. And the fireworks<br />
return to the banks of the River Thames, too.<br />
Jools’ Annual Hootenanny<br />
BBC2, 11.30pm It wouldn’t be New Year’s Eve<br />
without Jools (above) honky-tonking his way<br />
through his guest sets, and this year it’s the<br />
30th anniversary of this annual shindig. He’s<br />
got a real mixed bag of guests in store, with<br />
Andy Fairweather Low, Cat Burns, Gabrielle,<br />
George Ezra, Roland Gift, Ruby Turner, Self<br />
Esteem, The Real Thing and Tom Odell –<br />
plus Pipes and Drums of the 1st Battalion<br />
Scots Guards marching us into 2023.<br />

Silent Witness<br />
BBC1, 9pm After marking its 25th anniversary<br />
last year with the return of Amanda Burton as<br />
Sam Ryan, this hit show remains on top of its<br />
game with a new series of two-part stories,<br />
kicking off in dramatic fashion tonight. When<br />
a city worker is pursued and then plunges to<br />
his death from a London skyscraper, Nikki<br />
Alexander (Emilia Fox) and the team find<br />
themselves heading into extremely dangerous<br />
territory as they look into the case.<br />
Stonehouse<br />
ITV1, 9pm A brilliant, stylish, swaggering threepart<br />
drama telling the true story of Labour<br />
MP John Stonehouse who, in 1974, faked his<br />
own death in an effort to escape debt and<br />
wrongdoing. Retold in a style that owes a lot<br />
to Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can, Matthew<br />
Macfadyen (above) is at his best in the title<br />
role with his real-life spouse Keeley Hawes<br />
(above) as Stonehouse’s wife, Barbara. Kevin<br />
McNally is pitch perfect as PM Harold Wilson.<br />

The Conners<br />
Sky Comedy, 8pm The comeback of classic US sitcom<br />
Roseanne was cancelled in May 2018 after its star Roseanne<br />
Barr posted a racist tweet. The show eventually returned in<br />
the guise of The Conners – and with all ties to Barr severed<br />
on-screen and off. Her eponymous character has died offscreen<br />
as The Conners begins, but the family face their usual<br />
problems, such as struggling to makes ends meet. With Sara<br />
Gilbert, and a slimmed-down John Goodman (above).<br />

TUESDAY<br />
Waterloo Road<br />
BBC1, 8pm It’s great news for fans of the<br />
school-based drama which is back following<br />
an eight-year break. Long-term viewers will<br />
also welcome the reappearance of original<br />
cast member Angela Griffin (above) who left in<br />
2010 but returns as Kim Campbell, the school’s<br />
new head. And it’s certainly a testing first day<br />
back for the start of term when a pupil protest<br />
escalates into a riot! Meanwhile, a mystery<br />
figure has been sleeping rough in the school…<br />
<strong>2022</strong>: The Year From Space<br />
Channel 4, 7.30pm A fascinating programme<br />
showcasing the year’s major news events<br />
as seen from spectacular satellite images.<br />
The war in Ukraine is foretold through analysis<br />
of footage showing Russian troops amassing<br />
at the border, and there are terrifying aerial<br />
views of wildfires spreading across Europe. But<br />
satellites also reveal joy and optimism, as the<br />
easing of COVID restrictions allows guests<br />
back into Disney World (above), and once<br />
empty cities filled with people again.<br />

Sky Nature, 8pm High in the remote mountains of<br />
Patagonia, puma numbers are booming. But it’s far from an<br />
easy life for these apex predators… Here we meet Rupestre,<br />
an adult female, who has just six months to teach her<br />
four cubs how to survive. At first, life appears carefree for<br />
boisterous Chico, timid Ginger and their two grey sisters, but<br />
they soon face blizzards, hunger and dangerous encounters<br />
with other pumas. Then the family is struck by tragedy.<br />

Watchmen<br />
Sky Atlantic, 10.15pm A rerun of the 2019 series which<br />
confounded cynics by being… actually rather good. Posited<br />
as a sequel of sorts to the classic Eighties DC comic serial<br />
co-created by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons (the former<br />
studiously disowns any screen adaptations of his work), it<br />
stars Regina King (above) and Jeremy Irons. Following the<br />
aftermath of a global disaster, masked vigilantes patrol the<br />
streets, while white supremacists clash with the authorities.<br />

Amanda & Alan’s Italian Job<br />
BBC1, 8.30pm Long-time friends Amanda<br />
Holden and Alan Carr team up to do up a ruin<br />
in Sicily, and transform it into a luxury home,<br />
with the profits from the sale going to charity.<br />
The dubious brown stains daubing the walls<br />
of the interior have Alan squawking with<br />
anxiety, but the locals welcome the pair into<br />
their community. And, of course, once tools<br />
are downed, there’s always time for a cheeky<br />
Aperol Spritz amid the stunning scenery.<br />
Death In Paradise<br />
BBC1, 9pm The new series kicks off with a<br />
puzzling first case when a group of star-gazers<br />
gather to witness a rare eclipse. But when<br />
astronomer Prof Bertrand Sworder plunges to<br />
his death from the cliff top without anybody<br />
noticing, it looks like suicide – until DI Neville<br />
Parker (Ralf Little, above) finds a half-finished<br />
crossword. Meanwhile, Darlene is the latest<br />
trainee officer, Selwyn struggles with the news<br />
that he has a daughter, and Neville has a date.<br />

Charles Nove on his top<br />
TV soundtracks of <strong>2022</strong><br />
evocative Nineties soundtrack. Very<br />
different, but equally enjoyable,<br />
was David Tennant’s Around The<br />
World In 80 Days, with<br />
music by Hans Zimmer<br />
and Christian Lundberg,<br />
which sampled the<br />
chimes of Big Ben.<br />

music, and I’m looking<br />
forward to Ashley Jensen<br />
taking over from Douglas<br />
Henshall as lead detective.’<br />
Junior Choice<br />
BBC Radio 2 • Christmas Day<br />
Anneka Rice has just spent the past<br />
two months shooting in mud and<br />
cement when she calls to chat about<br />
hosting BBC Radio 2’s Junior Choice<br />
on Christmas morning.<br />
‘The festive period is busy and<br />
noisy, but having just filmed an<br />
entire Challenge Anneka series,<br />
honestly, it will seem very relaxing<br />
compared to that! Whatever is<br />
thrown at me for the rest of the year<br />
will seem like a bit of a picnic,’ says<br />
the 64-year-old presenter.<br />
One of those things is the annual<br />
feast of music, nostalgia and comedy<br />
chosen by listeners, which she’s been<br />
presenting for the past five years.<br />
Junior Choice first aired in 1967, and it<br />
turns out it was pivotal in her own life…<br />
‘I love radio. It started off as a real<br />
comfort to me as a little girl,’ she says.<br />
‘The old-fashioned wireless was my lifeline<br />
because I had a fairly disrupted childhood,<br />
and I attached myself to it.<br />
‘I have memories of sitting with a little<br />
blanket over me, having my after-lunch<br />
nap to Listen With Mother. And I used to<br />
listen to Junior Choice, sitting for hours,<br />
waiting for the old nostalgic favourites to<br />
come on, like Sparky’s Magic Piano.<br />
‘And so it is in me, radio. All I ever wanted<br />
to do was work for the BBC. To be now<br />
hosting Junior Choice is not lost on me. It’s a<br />
big arc of my life, from that little girl thinking,<br />
“Ah, that’s what I want,” to presenting a really<br />
important peg for everyone’s Christmas.’<br />
It’s clear she has fun helming the show,<br />
which will include a nod to the BBC’s centenary.<br />
‘I really do, because it’s that lovely connection

‘IT’S A<br />
BIG<br />
ARC<br />
OF MY<br />
LIFE’<br />
Anneka Rice<br />
reveals what<br />
an iconic<br />
radio show<br />
means to her<br />
with people,’ she says. ‘And<br />
I know that while I’m at work,<br />
my family’s beavering away<br />
at home. Actually, I say that<br />
– they’re mainly drinking as<br />
far as I can see! I get back and<br />
there’s just chaos.<br />
‘Last Christmas was very<br />
emotional because my<br />
youngest son had COVID and<br />
was on his own, so after the<br />
show finished, I went<br />
and stood at the end<br />
of his garden and<br />
we talked.<br />
‘My sister and her<br />
family weren’t able<br />
to get to mine to<br />
celebrate, which<br />
we’ve done every<br />
year for all her<br />
children’s lives.<br />
‘The COVID<br />
Christmas was<br />
devastating for<br />
a lot of people. And<br />
because I was having<br />
that pang of missing<br />
people myself, it<br />
became a particularly<br />
lovely programme, as<br />
we really were reaching<br />
out to people who were<br />
a bit lonely. It was just<br />
lovely to wrap everyone<br />
up in a warm embrace.’<br />
During the 1980s and 1990s<br />
Anneka was known as telly’s<br />
action woman, thanks to<br />
Treasure Hunt<br />
and then<br />
Challenge Anneka. So what has<br />
it been like reviving the latter?<br />
‘It felt just the same. The funny<br />
thing was that people would<br />
combine my programmes. They’d<br />
go, “What are you building and<br />
where’s the helicopter?”’<br />

across the 18 islands of the<br />
north Atlantic archipelago.<br />
Taking a ferry from the<br />

most southern island of<br />
Suouroy, he’s hoping to<br />
reach the furthest point –<br />
but he’s in the lap of the<br />
weather gods. Fog is always<br />
a problem here as the<br />
warm waters of the Gulf<br />
Stream meet icy Arctic<br />
currents, creating an<br />
altogether different sound.<br />

Welcome to<br />
our bumper<br />
Christmas quiz,<br />
taking in some of the<br />
past year’s television<br />
and radio highlights<br />
What a good year it’s been, too, with<br />
dramas and comedies in particular<br />
providing quality among the<br />
schedules that were thrown a<br />
curveball with the sad death of<br />
Elizabeth II in September, just three<br />
months after the climax of the<br />
Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Not<br />
forgetting the Women’s Euros, and<br />
the rugby and football World Cups.<br />
To solve the quiz, write the first<br />
letter of each answer to the<br />
questions about this year’s TV and<br />
radio in its corresponding box<br />
below. If asked for a person’s name,<br />
use the initial letter of the first name,<br />
unless otherwise stated.<br />
When complete, the letters will<br />
spell the title of a drama adaptation<br />
that aired in the spring.<br />
