A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong

Blacklisted by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ, the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society do not take their ban lying down and force themselves back on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ by hijacking a production of A Christmas Carol.

The Olivier Award-winning Mischief Theatre Company return to the small screen with their take on Dickens's famous festive fable.

Blacklisted by the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ after ruining Peter Pan, the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society do not take their ban lying down and force themselves back on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ by hijacking the jewel of the Christmas schedule, a live production of A Christmas Carol, staged by a professional cast.

As the Cornley gang try to make the show work on television, they soon realise they are completely out of their depth, with no idea how to direct a live studio or handle the special effects. Worse still, their internal rivalries are revealed on television, while an angry professional cast tries to get back into the studio.
