It really will be Christmas every day as the Robshaw family, stars of BBC Two's Back in Time for Dinner, time-travel through six decades of festive nostalgia.
TV Show Ended.
S1E1 - The 1940s, 50s and 60s
A wartime Christmas has the Robshaws embracing the 'make do and mend' spirit for presents (carrot fudge anyone?) and they sit down to unrationed ox heart and a Christmas pudding made primarily of grated potato. The 50s brings ham with tinned peaches, canapes, cocktails and the first televised Queen's speech, while Fred's 60s gift of a chocolate smoking set would hardly raise an eyebrow back in the day...

S1E2 - The 1970s, 80s and 90s
The Robshaws discover how the race for a Christmas number one single was born, meet an EastEnders star who reminisces about the soap's fine tradition of Christmas misery, and discover how, as consumerism reached fever pitch in the 90s, Christmas gluttony started with breakfast and didn't stop there.
