First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on December 20 2020

The eleventh edition of VISION ON SOUND attempts to be a vaguely festive edition, so I start off in a strangely poetic mood, rather grumpily examine the American Television version of the festive seasonal episode of long-running dramas in my opening monologue, and then SANDY joins me for a long chat that attempts to be an in-depth examination of BLACKADDER'S CHRISTMAS CAROL, but soon veers off into all manner of other Christmas Television thoughts and never quite gets back there. Some of this chatter had to be nipped out for the broadcast edition, but I've included the "uncut" version in the podcast edition ("You lucky, lucky people...") to give you the Christmas gift of BONUS CONTENT.

Ahem.

Happy Christmas.
