Last Christmas
FILM 9PM, BBC3
Emma Thompson tries to channel the spirit of Richard Curtis’ Love Actually as co-writer of this shiny festive bauble starring Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding. Clarke’s Kate is a hopelessly messed-up would-be singer who works as an elf in a year-round Christmas shop in Covent Garden, and Golding’s Tom is the charmingly enigmatic stranger who wanders in and shakes up her life. A light romcom for a Friday night in. JB
