I know I shouldn't be watching Christmas stuff in April, but I really needed cheering up... And this worked.

You can kind of work the plot out easily but it's still fun hijinks and really heartwarming.

Surprised how good Smerch and Asim are together, I hope they work together again at some point.

Will defo be adding this to my Christmas watch list this year.

I'm almost certainly biased as I really like Stephen Merchant and his style of comedy, but that aside this is a very enjoyable 'short' film.

It has some excellent lines of comedy and although the story is fairly predictable, it's very much a film about the journey (in this case from Bedford to Carlisle and back) the two main characters bounce of each other well.

This was a truly lovely one off drama, the perfect start to the Christmas period, it was funny, it was moving, so nice to start Christmas off with something funny. It was slow to start, but quickly turned into something really rather excellent. So some of the jokes were a little telegraphed, but who cares, it was lovely, and made me laugh. The music was terrific, and seriously in keeping.

Stephen Merchant and Asim Chaudhry take a bow, you delivered the goods for Christmas. 9/10

First off, I never give 10/10 ratings on here. I watched this last year and found it quite amusing. Gave it a re watch this year and found myself laughing out loud and totally blown away by how much I enjoyed it. So maybe it depends on the mood you are in?

If you like Brit humour and especially Stephen merchant, and are not the type of viewer who wonders why Christmas Eve night is not ermmm...colder??? ( rolls eyes at some reviews), then this is a must see for your Xmas viewing.

Mr merchant plays it to the max, but never overplays, and his unwanted sidekick is a perfect foil for him. Humour, heart, a few non preachy life lessons, and mild action and peril. No doubt it is streaming somewhere this December, so give yourself a Xmasy treat, and go watch it.

...It didn't look anywhere near cold enough to be Christmas Eve. I mean, driving in an open golf buggy through Carlisle in late December (without gloves on) and in an elf suit without gloves.... I reckon it was filmed around late September at most. (Probably wasn't Carlisle either!)

Otherwise, this is a stupidly and brilliantly festive, full of Christmas spirit and only 53 minutes!

Merry Christmas! 🎅 🎄 .
