Termorrer: We Wish You A Mandy Christmas (BBC2, 10pm)

Mandy (Diane Morgan) has little time for Christmas, and her creator, too, seems to have a sulky, mocking attitude to its traditions and demands. Here, just two minutes extra make the episode a “special”, and Morgan’s couldn’t-care-less plot is yet another reworking of A Christmas Carol. As the heroine drinks herself into a festive stupor while her best friend, Lola (Michelle Greenidge), also languishes alone, three ghosts appear on her doorstep. Johnny Vegas reminds her of a childhood family meal; Pearce Quigley takes her flying through the present-day sky; and John Cooper Clarke steals the concluding scenes, offering a troubling glimpse of her future.
