Let’s be honest, Christmas can wind up the best of us. In this festive special Tony gets together with comedy legend Romesh Ranganathan to find out what tips him over the edge during the ‘season of joy’.

An argument with his wife about decorations ends with Rom stomping off early to bed, the depravity of a secondary school staff Christmas party is revealed and Romesh’s dad’s attempt to do a halal Christmas dinner goes horribly wrong.

Plus ridiculous present requests, Richard Pryor and an angriest moment involving a mortgage provider and his mum.

Think of it as therapy. With laughs.

Producer: Mike Holt and Chessie Bent
Booker: Charlie Copsey
