PETE WICKS: FOR DOGS' SAKE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL Monday, 9pm, U&W Factual

Q What can you tell us about this Christmas special, which sees you at Dogs Trust rescue centres once again?

A I hate Christmas! But it's a family time of year and this special is beautiful. It’s Christmassy. There are lots of presents for the dogs — we make it fun for them.

Q Eight collies arrive at the Basildon site. What can you reveal about them?
