THE BEST CHRISTMAS MOVIES EVER – CHRISTMAS PRESENT (1985)

 

Hammonds Bank have a long-standing tradition where the Chairman, in keeping with Charles Dickens character Scrooge, must deliver a prize Turkey and the modern equivalent of six shillings to a poor family in Camden Town.

So, Sir Percy Hammond (Bill Fraser) instructs the newest member of the Bank, Nigel Playfayre (Peter Chelsom) to carry out the task.

However, he collides with a street entertainer and loses the envelope with the address, and it is picked up by a young boy Viv (Danny Wooder).

So, Viv and his best mate Gos (Clive Parker) try and return it to the bank, but they can’t get in.

Meanwhile Nigel tries to find the name another way which takes him to Judy Tall (Lesley Manville).

But in the end, it’s up to Viv and Gos to show Nigel the way.
