My Life at Christmas with Sally Phillips
FACTUAL 10.30AM, BBC1
Who better to host this series for advent than actor Sally, who exudes such cheer? In this first episode, her warmth is matched by the Rev Richard Coles, who discusses his unique Christian journey, from child chorister via pop fame with The Communards to his calling as a local vicar for more than a decade. Most insightfully, he talks about the importance of his relationship with faith at this time of year, since he lost his life-partner, David, in December 2019. A personal and engaging look at the meaning of Christmas. NT
