1612.19 CHRISTMAS TV PICK II

So as promised, here is my pick for festive TV for that 'no mans land' of Christmas, the middle bit between the big day and New Year.
So whilst many are off work and school (this year I do have some generous time off but I will be doing a bit of work) sit back and enjoy some of the festive offerings in between watching those new DVDs and playing family games of Monopoly.

Boxing Day

It's a good day for TV so it's difficult to pick out one single programme. In the end I've plumped for an entertaining yet scientific special...
