An enjoyable and credible reworking of Charles Dickens well spun yarn of redemption.
This
retelling of the story is of a driven and heartless online entrepreneur selling
cheap disposable tat, Carole (Suranne Jones) who on Christmas Eve is visited by
the ghost of her mother Jackie (Rosie Cavaliero).
She
tells Carol that she has lost sight of the things that are truly important in
life and that she will have further visitation to show her the errors of her
ways.
Eric
Morecambe and Ernie Wise (Jonty Stephens and Ian Ashpitel) are the ghosts of
Christmas past, Jo Brand is the Ghost of Christmas Present and Nish Kumar is
the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come.
Between
them she is shown that her hatred of Christmas and her estrangement of her
father Leon (Mark Benton) was based on her own misconception of past events and
she
discovers
the true spirit of Christmas.
