The World Cup of Christmas Songs with Richard Osman
Richard Osman of Pointless discusses the merits of Christmas songs with Mary Anne Hobbs.
Does 'Stay Another Day' count as a Christmas tune? Would we have fallen out of love with Slade had they not released 'Merry Xmas Everybody'?
Why do we love these tunes so much? Why do we never hear any great new ones? And should we be campaigning for a 'Very Kendrick Lamar Christmas'?
Richard Osman's latest book 'The World Cup of Everything' is out now.
