Variety show. There’s an article about it on the BBC News website.

If they're piggy-backing on the back of Love Actually (sounds like they are- Richard Curtis is involved) somewhere, somehow they MUST play the PM's Theme Tune!

A feast for all the senses, this witty and enchanting evening captures all of the fun and laughter of Christmas through a treasure trove of entertainment, as a starry line-up performs live music, Christmas stories, poetry and comedy.
With the curation of the writer behind Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral, this is a night of collective merriment celebrating exactly what makes this time of year so special.
Sounds horrific.

Yay! Pay a fortune to watch some celebrities appear on a screen.
Spare us.

A few years back I went to the National Theatre Christmas quiz hosted by Emma Freud with Carey Mulligan as guest scorer. Richard Curtis and the rest of the family were sitting near us. Now I'm sure some would say that they have a lot to congratulate themselves for, but I remember the whole evening as being smug and self indulgent. I hope that this new event is a little more self aware - just because you and your famous mates onstage are having a good time that doesn't necessarily mean that the audience is.

It sounds like something they do every year at home, but for some reason this time they're subjecting others to looking on. |
