The King's Speech
A proper British institution at 3pm sharp, whether you're a royalist or just enjoy the annual pause. Nan insists on silence during it, and honestly, so do we.

The Call the Midwife Christmas Special
Guaranteed to make Mum sob into her Baileys within twenty minutes. Wholesome, nostalgic and absolutely non-negotiable in millions of households.
