This is one of those episodes in the style of Diddle diddle dumpling, which makes you question what this show is, whether it's a comedy, a drama, or something entirely different. What this episode is, is again a Masterclass in writing and acting. The lead up to Christmas should be a fun time, and on most tv shows it's idyllic, Michael Buble, smoked chestnuts and grinning family members, when in reality it can be a tough time.
This family are struggling, but still trying to make Christmas a special day for the youngest family member, they don't have much, but have one another. It was very moving, and rather sad I thought, but a terrific piece of writing, showing the duo's inexhaustible variety.
Top notch acting, Pemberton was particularly good here. Very good. 8/10
