BLOOD ACTUALLY: A MURDER, THEY HOPE MYSTERY
SATURDAY, 9PM, GOLD COMEDY

A dream getaway for newlyweds Gemma and Terry turns into the nightmare before Christmas as they find themselves investigating a string of festive-themed killings in a seasonal special of Gold's popular crime caper Murder, They Hope.

The story sees the hapless investigators (Sian Gibson and Johnny Vegas) arrive in a quaint but mysterious village filled with eccentric characters (played by guest stars including Anita Dobson, Jane Horrocks, Martin Kemp, Rosie Cavaliero and Robert Webb). But events soon take a sinister twist when local residents due to take part in the annual Santa parade are bumped off one by one...

If that wasn't enough to deal with, Gemma's man-eating mum Patricia (Sherrie Hewson) and obnoxious sister Monica (Sarah Hadland) turn up, too!

TV Times caught up with Sarah, 52, to find out more...

What's your take on the set-up for this story, Sarah?
