It's Christmas time, and there's no need to be afraid...unless you're terrified of all-star charity singles, that is. The lyrics to Band Aid 20's Do They Know It's Christmas may "banish shade", but that does not mean that this week's episode of The 2000s Chart Show isn't going to be as shady as ever about the chaotic debut of Pete Doherty's Babyshambles, the vicious rumours that Rachel Stevens gatecrashed the Band Aid recording, and the problems that Joss Stone and Snoop Dogg were facing in 2004.
