I just watched this. Obviously a great cast. Lee Mack married to another woman from Green Wing - Sarah Alexander.
As funny as expected although not having ever seen it in its entirety it had echoes of Home Alone.
Bad Tidings

That was last year wasn't it?
I recorded it. Gave up halfway through.

The one I'm thinking of is early 2000's with Danny Devito and Mathew Broderick.

So was this based on that?
I remember another Christmas comedy drama he did. What was that? (And not Not Going Out).

Blood Actually? One of the Murder They Hope/Murder on the Blackpool Express films on Gold - That one last year was set at Christmas and Lee Mack is a recurring actor in those.

Was it that? OK - maybe.
I thought it was fine for what it was, a family friendly Christmas thing with a decent main cast.

Christmas Lights? Mark Benton & Robson Green. 2004.
Mark Benton + Robson Green = Lee Mack

Yes - that's what I was thinking. Yes I know Lee wasn't in it.
