Further details
Old Harry's Game, the sitcom set in hell, returns and, in the first of two episodes, Satan decides to ban Christmas.
Satan runs his infernal world with the assistance of his chief demon, Scumspawn. Among those he torments are Edith, a murdered historian, and Thomas, the most repellent human who ever lived.
Full of jokes and broad comedy, the show is also a philosophical study of the human condition, asking such questions as whether man is inherently good or evil.
