The canned laughter comes thick and fast in this six-part series from the founders of the Mischief Theatre Company (the makers of Peter Pan Goes Wrong, The Play That Goes Wrong, Magic Goes Wrong - you get the idea). Here, the team unleashes its planned chaos on a Christmas tale of a drunken Santa and his elves trying to restore some festive cheer to a girl beset by her arguing parents. Of course, disaster ensues. Saccharine family fun for the Mrs Brown's Boys fans.
