AL MURRAY’S MAKE CHRISTMAS GREAT AGAIN, 9PM, ITV

THE ‘nation’s favourite publican’, Al Murray, is on a mission — to rescue Christmas and make it what it used to be. And so here in his tinselfestooned hostelry, The

Reindeer’s Head — backed by house band The Remoans — the Pub Landlord (pictured) serves up a party-sized portion of festive cheer, featuring seasonal singalongs, celebrity guests and contests with prizes for members of the public. It’s a Christmas cocktail that promises to get even the most hardened humbug well and truly into the yuletide mood.
