In Nancy Mitford's classic festive comedy, Paul Fotheringay, our penniless, feckless anti-hero, contrives to spend Christmas at the ancient country seat of the Bobbin family at Compton Bobbin.

Recorded on location in Suffolk, Christmas Pudding is a wonderful comedy of bad manners, in which the carefully measured ingredients of disguised suitors, amorous rivalry, unsuitable liaisons and comic misunderstandings are cooked up into a delicious festive treat, topped, like a generous spoonful of burning brandy, by the glowing brilliance of Mitford's comic dialogue.
