BBC unveils ones to watch this Christmas

The BBC has released details of its Christmas schedule, which includes a number of comedy shows.

Matt Lucas and David Walliams take Little Britain's characters abroad with the help of guest stars Peter Kay, Julia Davis, Dawn French, Steve Coogan and Ronnie Corbett. And in what looks set to be the last ever story from The Vicar Of Dibley, all the signs are that the nation's favourite woman of the cloth might finally be whisked down the aisle - but as always the festive season in Dibley doth not run smoothly.

It's "Happy Chrissytittybangbang" from BBC Three as the sketch show Tittybangbang gears up for a Christmas special. Award-winning satire The Thick Of It returns to BBC Four. It's the tail-end of the Christmas recess, and the mother of all parliaments will be sitting again in a couple of weeks. Hugh Abbott, the Minister for Social Affairs and Citizenship, is away in Australia. With the coast clear, Shadow Minister Peter Mannion (Roger Allam) and his team over at Opposition HQ are free to float a few new policies.

Elsewhere, Charlie Brooker takes an irreverent review of the season's high and lowlights in a special edition of Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe. And there will be festive shenanigans in special editions of Never Mind The Buzzcocks, QI and Mock the Week.
