1986 Specials - Merry Christmas Father Christmas
A Santa on a bike with an advertising board is too much for Seymour's sense of traditional values. He resolves to put some of the magic back into Christmas by putting Santa back where he belongs - on a rooftop near a chimney. Clegg is an ideal, if unwilling, helper, but who has the charisma and the wellies to play Father Christmas...?
