In it, Amanda (Lucy Punch) and the family head to Aunt Joan's country house, but the plans change when Mal (Samuel Anderson) and Anne (Philippa Dunne) tag along and she struggles to recreate the magical Christmases she spent there as a child.

Anne's in despair at being separated from her family, and Felicity is increasingly irritated by her sister's constant high spirits. Meanwhile Mal sees a photo that seems to reveal a deep family secret...

The Great Peep Show Christmas Bake Off, Channel 4 For the first time since Peep Show wrapped in 2015, fan favourites David Mitchell, Olivia Colman, Isy Suttie, Matt King and Sophie Winkleman are to reunite - and this time around they'll be donning their pinnies and festive jumpers as they tackle a series of seasonal baking challenges.
