Christmas Special - Mum's Classic Family Christmas

Here We Go. Image shows left to right: Robin (Tom Basden), Sam (Jude Morgan-Collie), Amy (Freya Parks), Sue (Alison Steadman), Paul (Jim Howick), Rachel (Katherine Parkinson)
Amy is home again for the holidays, so Rachel is determined to engineer an absolutely classic Jessop Family Christmas: Stockings, presents, church, turkey, King's speech, charades. Then everyone sings Hey Mr Christmas by Showaddywaddy and watches Shrek. Should be great, so long as everyone sticks PRECISELY to the schedule. It's never that easy.
