´óÏó´«Ã½

Sir Billy Connolly chats to Zoe about his ITV Christmas special - It's Been A Pleasure. This special marks the end of Billy’s incredible career in comedy, after he announced he was stepping back from live stand-up two years ago. It mixes new footage shot at Billy's home in Florida with archival footage of his greatest moments. There are exclusive chats with some of his most famous fans, including Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, Dustin Hoffman, Whoopi Goldberg, Russell Brand, Sir Lenny Henry, Armando Iannucci and Sheridan Smith – as well as insider insights from his wife and soulmate, Pamela Stephenson. Sir Billy has often been hailed as one of the most influential and funniest comedians in the country’s history, and three times has topped polls to determine the UK’s number one stand-up.

Jenny Agutter, one the UK's finest actors, tells Zoe about the Call The Midwife Christmas Special on ´óÏó´«Ã½ One this year. In the episode it’s December 1965 and everyone at Nonnatus House is looking forward to traditional celebrations with all the trimmings, but nothing goes quite to plan. Sister Monica Joan is rushed to hospital, and Trixie is incensed to receive a subscription to a Marriage Bureau as a Christmas gift. Meanwhile, a surprise reunion for Shelagh involves her in a deeply moving birth, and the Circus arrives in Poplar, bringing new friendships, new experiences, and an exciting adventure for Nurse Crane.

Mackenzie Crook calls in to chat to Zoe to talk about the brand new episode of Worzel Gummidge for the festive season. Following the much loved and critically acclaimed 2019 adaptation, the new one hour film will be screened on ´óÏó´«Ã½ One this Christmas – ‘Worzel Gummidge: Saucy Nancy’.
Mackenzie Crook has written another beautifully crafted and magical episode, inspired by the classic books by Barbara Euphan Todd, which he will direct and star in, bringing a world of adventure to all the family.
