Our Christmas special two-parter takes a festive leap through time (and film history) as we each pick our favourite Christmas Carol adaptation.
Obviously, the correct choice is The Muppet Christmas Carol – which I selected, of course! Michael Caine delivers a perfectly straight-faced Scrooge performance amid singing frogs and bantering ghosts, but it’s Gonzo (as Charles Dickens) who truly steals the show. Narrating the story with unexpected heart and a fair bit of slapstick help from Rizzo, he brings both the comedy and the classic text to life. It’s that rare adaptation that’s both hilarious and genuinely moving – and proof that the Muppets really can improve any classic.
Oh, & Paul’s pick – the 1951 Scrooge starring Alastair Sim. That’s not too shabby either. Bring a bag of humbugs. Put your feet up in front of the fire. Enjoy Part One…
