Ruth Jones

1 hour 24 minutes

Aasmah Mir and Suzy Klein are joined by Ruth Jones, who co-wrote and starred in one of our most loved TV comedies: Gavin and Stacey, which seemingly ended after 3 successful series, almost ten years ago. However, in May her co-writer & co-star James Corden announced they’d be back this year for a Christmas Special, and there are only 4 more days to wait as it airs on Christmas Day.

Gloria Stewart will be here - the Yorkshirewoman organises a huge dinner every year for those lonely at Christmas.

Also with us is William Hartston, mathematician, sloth enthusiast, chess player, Goggleboxer and puzzler, who will be setting some challenges on the programme.

And Kieran Sandwell set off three years ago with a new heart to walk around Britain - 5,000 miles later, he's done it.

We have the Inheritance Tracks of pianist Stephen Hough who chooses Chopin Etudes opus 25 no 1 in A flat major and A Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten

and your thank yous.
