Episode 8.1

After the challenging year 2020 has proved to be for all, Alan is relieved that this year’s Christmas special is a piece of nonsense about a husky dog falling in love with a snowman (neither of whom, fortunately, pauses to enquire about the limited future of their relationship). There will be plenty of time to knock that off after the cast Christmas – Covid-safe-bubble – party. 

However, for much of the viewing public, nothing says ‘Christmas’ as much as the arrival of an invasion force of murderous killing machines obsessed with the idea of stopping Alan’s party, pushing over the Christmas tree and slaughtering all his friends with flesh incinerating death rays. 

Incidentally, a happy Christmas to all of you at home.
