Christmas Special

In this Christmas Day special, the duo reach their final destination, through a series of appropriately festive detours and diversions. They're armed with a bulging sack of nuggets of new and half-remembered trivia, aided by a special guest. And just as Father Christmas manages to circumnavigate the world in just one night, Steve and Hugh will take us on an equally circuitous and lengthy journey.

And is that one star write-up "bit claggy, made me feel sick" a review of some stuffing or Love Actually?
