This week, there’s a sprinkle of seasonal magic thanks to a visit into Jim Henson’s Creature Workshop, plus a trip to the past when comedy legends Laurel and Hardy spent Yule in an English pub. Driving home for Christmas? Let the fabulous (and very safe) Dame Sheila Hancock be the one behind the wheel. If it all seems a bit overwhelming and too much, remember back to a time when all festive frivolities were banned in Scotland. And if you’re not feeling too Grinch-like, join in a merry song with a comedic twist, thanks to Richard Coles.
