My Family Christmas Special

The Harpers are looking forward to another Christmas - except for Scrooge-like dad Ben, who this year comes up with a cunning plan, feigning a mystery illness to escape the festivities. Susan isn't convinced, but nonetheless drags him to the doctor, who admits the grumpy dentist to hospital. With him out of the way, son Michael and lodger Alfie organise a last-minute party, while Janey is too busy trying to get the must-have toy for Kenzo, whether he wants it or not. But the party atmosphere is dampened somewhat by news from the hospital - Ben's test results are back and he needs surgery. Robert Lindsay and Zoe Wanamaker star in the popular sitcom
