Adam Buxton pays his own unique tribute to Christmas in this special programme for Sky Arts. Presented from his shed, Adam introduces a variety of clips, interviews, animation, poems and songs that encapsulate the festive season.
A selection of YouTube comments will be curated to illustrate the best and worst of Christmas, before a nostalgic look through some vintage copies of the Radio Times.
Tim Key is also on hand to read a selection of special Christmas poems, before Adam compares his own childhood Christmas with that of his five-year-old daughter Hope.
Adam has also created a bespoke Christmas music video to accompany one of his own songs, rearranged and re-mastered for the show.
Finally, staying on the musical theme, he interviews music journalist Dorian Lynskey on the subject of The Pogues' Christmas classic, Fairytale of New York, and joins Supergrass frontman Gaz Coombes for a rabble-rousing acoustic cover of one of the Christmas greats.
