Along the way we'll be pondering the difference between a Square CD and a 'Square' CD, attempting to steer a 90Mph Dalek, averting a Radio Times listing for Starved Robin Askwith, evaluating a proper professional synthesiser against one demonstrated by 'the man' in Tandy and securing Jon Pertwee's autograph only upside down.

This time it’s an all-star festive lineup of entertainment as Tim is joined by a series of guests to talk about television Christmas Specials that seem to have slipped under the radar despite featuring very big names or coming from very popular shows, featuring Darrell Maclaine on Rutland Weekend Television, Phil Catterall on Community, Ben Baker on Bernard And The Genie, Garreth Hirons on Futurama, Tim Worthington on Doctor Who, Emma Burnell on The West Wing and Paul Abbott on The Peter Serafinowicz Show. As well as revisiting some of the lesser-seen small-screen yuletide offerings of years gone by, we’ll also be discussing how to tackle an Out Of Control Eric Idle, what happens if someone drops We Didn’t Start The Fire on the floor and smashes it, being legally forced to refer to Trevor McDonald as ‘Indeterminate Newscaster’, assessing how to qualify as one of Internet’s Leading Simpsonsmen, lamenting Russell T. Davies’ slapdash adherence to Thames Riverbed Continuity, considering whether President Bartlet should have hired The Goodies, and working out how many times it’s possible to say the word ‘impression’ in one sentence.
