It鈥檚 nearly Christmas 2019, so here鈥檚 our Yuletide special. Michael鈥檚 wife Roberta thinks he should stand up for himself for a change - which he does at first by stopping any attempts to make the episode excessively festive. But Michael fails to speak up when Josephine announces that a new dividing wall is being built in the office and, with resentment building, Michael鈥檚 new junior, Liam, plans to tear it down.

Roberta is hustling for media opportunities to plug Michael鈥檚 forthcoming live show. She wants it to become a full tour that catapults him into the category of 鈥榗omedians who actually earn a living'. Michael is persuaded to do a radio panel discussion because childhood comedy hero, Sir Terry McVey, is taking part.

Sir Terry invites Michael to his festive bash which is a total let-down because of the ageing comedian鈥檚 anti-woke waffling. This presents Michael with another opportunity to put his foot down which he takes, ensuring a premature exit to a disastrous evening.
