A repeat of Wood's most glorious festive special from Christmas Day 2000. Because that's where she belongs, on Christmas Day. This wondrous show includes a timely finale featuring a singing/dancing Ann Widdecombe. How things change. Many standout moments, but the ER spoof set in a WI meeting, Julie Walters repeatedly falling into a grandfather clock in A Christmas Carol and a heavenly Brief Encounter spoof are stand-outs. Plus the "backstage" antics of some hapless BBC executives prove all too prescient. Worship Wood.

All I want for Christmas is Victoria Wood

The thought of Victoria Wood's return to the BBC Christmas schedules is enough to get me excited at the height of summer.
