A great show and a great Xmas Special. Lee hopes to gain a whole bunch of Brownie points by putting on an unforgettable Xmas for Lucy and her parents, with Daisy in tow as well of course. The setting is a big spooky house in the country, a family abode belonging to Lee's recently deceased auntie. Soon as they arrive strange things begin to happen, and things are more compounded when Frank, Lee's dead beat dad, turns up in the latrine!
The standard comedy tropes of the writing that made the show successful are evident here, the constant sexual tension, Daisy doing doofus and Lee's on-going battles with Lucy's father. When the spooky shenanigans up in intensity, so does the comedy. This is an episode where all the characters get a script to showcase their respective strengths. Excellent. 9/10
