Writer and broadcaster Grace Dent takes a televisual trip back in time to Christmas 1991, as she immerses herself in the sights, sounds and TV schedules of the past.

Among Grace鈥檚 festive findings are the discovery that this was a time when the 成人论坛 schedules were still ruled by TV鈥檚 big beasts. Edmonds was the first Noel of broadcasting, Brucie was loved by all generations, and fresh-faced young whippersnappers Jeremy Clarkson, Phillip Schofield and Rob Brydon were starting to establish themselves as the stars of the future.

As well as checking out the year's music and fashion themes, the season鈥檚 most popular sitcoms and Barry Norman鈥檚 countdown of the year鈥檚 movie turkeys, Grace explores some of 1991's greatest Christmas controversies, including Mark Fowler鈥檚 HIV revelation on the EastEnders seasonal double bill, a retrospective of the comedy of Benny Hill, and most surprising of all, a Songs of Praise Christmas special that had the nation鈥檚 Grinches complaining in their droves to Anne Robinson鈥檚 Points of View.
