NATIVITY! Thursday, BBC2, 5.50pm

FEELGOOD festive movie. Teacher Paul Maddens (Martin Freeman, pictured with co-star Ashley Jensen) takes charge of the nativity play at a Coventry primary school. Paul bends the truth in earshot of assistant Mr Poppy (Marc Wootton), who repeats the lie to the kids that “a big Hollywood company” is coming to see the nativity and they’ll all be famous. Soon, the city is abuzz with the news.
