MAYHEM WITH THE MISTLETOE

Fun-loving Tristan Farnon (pictured) also has romance in mind. After buying up all the mistletoe at Darrowby market he’s festooned the house with it and is keen for a kiss with barmaid and mistletoe seller Maggie. In the end, he finds a route to her heart through her younger brother David, who he comforts after an incident with Bob the donkey (pictured main, with David).

‘David has been feeding mistletoe to Bob – one of the star turns in the nativity play – and fears he might have poisoned him,’ explains Callum Woodhouse, the former Durrells star who plays Tristan. ‘Tristan shows his softer side and that impresses Maggie – and David learns not to feed mistletoe to donkeys!’
