CLASSIC WITH A TWIST

Spirited, Apple TV+

YOU know the festive season is approaching when a new version of A Christmas Carol arrives on our screens. In this funny, musical reimagining of the most adapted of all of Charles Dickens’s works, Clint Briggs (Ryan Reynolds) is Scrooge, and Will Ferrell plays the wisecracking Ghost of Christmas Present. The twist is that Clint turns the tables and it’s the ghost who finds himself reflecting on his past, present and future.
