Summary

Merry Christmas one and all! It's our last (regular) show of 2022 and, to celebrate, we have our very own Christmas elf on the show — specifically Fjall from The Witcher: Blood Origin aka Laurence O'Fuarain. And not only do we find said Witcher spinoff in our Christmas stockings this year, but we're also going full Wagatha Christie with Channel 4's Hardy v Rooney, and getting the greatest gift of all: the return of Sally Wainwright's Happy Valley, which comes back after a SEVEN year absence. But it's not all celebration on this week's show, for we are compelled to bid a fond farewell to one of our own as one member of the team heads off to pastures new (with arms full of presents, naturally).

0:50.0	through the house.
0:51.2	Not a creature was stirring except for my two co-hosts, one of which I'm very sorry to
0:56.4	say, it joins us for the last time this week.
1:01.6	Now I feel I should drag this out and not reveal the name until the very end of the show,
1:07.6	but this isn't strictly so I'm just going to say, I'm just going to say, this is a great
1:11.3	sadness and deep regret.
1:12.9	I need the music, I need the music playing underneath, but we say goodbye to one of our own
1:22.4	and the contestants that we're saying goodbye to on this week's show is none other than
1:33.4	the one and only Boyd Hilton.
1:36.6	No, it's not, it's not, as if I would ever, as a truck, yeah, as if I would ever miss one
