The Harri-Parris' Radio Show

Deiniol directs Llanllai's annual village nativity and his vision is not exactly traditional. With the family taking the lead roles and Ifan in charge of special effects what could possibly go wrong?

Following the success of their previous three series on BBC Radio Wales, The Harri-Parris' return with a Christmas Special. The hilarious and dysfunctional west Walian farming family are back with their sitcom with songs to help get you in the mood this festive period.

It's Christmas in Llanllai and this year the village Nativity has been put in the 'safe hands' of the Harri-Parri family. Deiniol has of course taken on the role of 'director-writer-producer-actor' and his vision is not exactly traditional. Mami thinks it's absolutely fine for a lady of her age to play the part of the Virgin Mary. And Ifan has been put in charge of stunts and special effects. What could possibly go wrong?

Chris Buxton, producer of The Harri-Parris' Radio Show, says: "We're really proud of the Christmas Special. It's not just really funny, it's got lots of silly surreal moments, some great songs and a few festive surprises. It's a huge privilege to make this show, to be a small part of people's Christmases, like the sitcoms that have inspired us. We want the Harri-Parris' to be the next Fawlty Towers, Blackadder, the next Only Fools And Horses. A sitcom that everyone can watch and have a real belly laugh at. A sitcom that becomes a touchstone of people's lives."

Llinos Mai, founder of Mai oh Mai and creator of the format, says: "The show is inspired by my upbringing in West Wales. I still have the pleasure of visiting my family there now so even as an adult, the area (and my family!) still provide me with lots of material. This Christmas special is no exception. Every year in a village called Wolfscastle there is the most amazing outdoor performance of the Nativity. My Aunty and Uncle play the principal roles of Mary and Joseph even though they are both in their late seventies. It is honestly one of my favourite moments of the year and I'm really pleased it could help inspire our Christmas special. Expect a drag queen as one of the Wise people, a somewhat revealing Angel Gabriel and a punk rendition of the Little Donkey song!"
