Makes Christmas slightly less awful Al Murray
A Very British Christmas is a twelve-stage sleigh ride through the best, worst, strangest and funniest aspects of the Christmas holiday, with cultural icons saluted, national habits dissected and personal reminiscences from those whove eaten all the mince pies and lived to tell the tale.

The essential Christmas stocking filler for every Brit whos ever found themselves on a deflating air bed in their parents spare room wedged up against the washing machine come Christmas Eve and wondering why this Christmas, just like every year, doesnt look like the ones on the telly.
