The official synopsis reads: “It’s Boxing Day and the Brockman family have to carry out a special mission for Grandad. They encounter car problems, child problems, parent problems, emotional problems and World War Two. If the adults can’t sort things out the children will have to. Like all families, everything has changed and everything remains the same.”

Hugh Dennis commented: “I can’t wait to re-join our TV nucleus, and what better place to experience the full joy of family life than stuck in the family car.”

Claire Skinner added: “I am so happy to be back dipping into the Brockmans’ lives again – it is like putting on a big comfy jumper.”

The special is written, directed and produced by Drop The Dead Donkey creators Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin.
