The 1970s, 80s and 90s
The Robshaws discover how the race for a Christmas number one single was born, meet an EastEnders star who reminisces about the soap's fine tradition of Christmas misery, and discover how, as consumerism reached fever pitch in the 90s, Christmas gluttony started with breakfast and didn't stop there.
