I was lucky enough to get a ticket to the advanced screening of the latest BBC Christmas drama. Made partly with Children’s BBC, this is not only for kids. ‘Lost Christmas’ is a family offering, with some tough subject matter, including losing close family members and homelessness.
In a similar vain to ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’, it’s not all bad. There’s some great lines, involving acting and lovely scenes of a Wintery Manchester.
Eddie Izzard is, as always, impressive, funny and mysterious. The story is transformed from something potentially cheesy and glib, into a touching Christmas tale, with a debut from Larry Mills as ‘Goose’. He’s certainly one to watch.
‘Lost Christmas’ will be broadcast on BBC One at 5:30pm on December 18th and again on Christmas Eve.
