Christmas wouldn't be Christmas with out a festival speical, hope you all enjoy. Written by me on Christmas Eve last year.

Christmas Special - The Gift: Jeremy finds himself snowed in at Anthony's shop and is forced to hold an actual conversation with him where some interesting facts emerge.

It's not bad but the jokes are quite weak and comedically it doesn't build to anything very much.

But the characters and setting are distinctive enough.

Is Spicer supposed to sound like he's f**ked up on cough syrup and methodone?

I think there's a few nice gags in there but Spicer's never going to be Tim Vine.

I like the title.

:D Thanks.

As always, you've completely cocked up the voice. It doesn't sound authentic: so the whole thing lacks credibility.

Delivering a comedy monologue, with all its required timing, etc, is hard enough in itself. Doing it with an accent alien to your own - with your evident lack of vocal talent (at least for this character) - is even harder.

Completely and utterly disagree.
