    2022 Christmas Special: Christmas Underground
    Dec 23 2022

    Mind the gap!

    In the crew quarters of an abandoned Tube station, Peter celebrates Christmas with a very old friend. But how will the search for his programmes get off the ground again if he’s still stuck beneath it?

    Features Peter’s legendary public information film A Bakerloo Christmas (1975), gallons of festive custard, and more eggs than could ever be safely consumed. Special thanks to Andy Barr, Ann Burgess and Kath Hughes.

    Happy Christmas to all of you at home!

    2021 Christmas Special: BBC Television Centre
    Dec 23 2021

    Down to earth!

    This Christmas, Peter makes an unscheduled landing in his balloon. The global archive expedition to find his lost programmes takes him to one of the most beloved landmarks in TV history. But how will he react when he sees what it has become? Will he find the treasure he seeks? And will the ghosts of BBC Television Centre sing?

    Features off-air clips from How's It Done? (1968-74), a guaranteed method for getting past security, and more time capsules than anyone could ever possibly need. Special thanks to Andy Barr, Sooz Kempner and Sam Nicoresti.
