Stunning version of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe graces the stage this festive season

Christmas Karma seemed to arrive early ahead of the festive season, and I only just managed to catch it on the big screen before it vanished, a bit like a Christmas tree bought in November and threadbare by the time turkey is served. I was told by many reviewers that I was going to hate it, but in all honesty, it was quite a wholesome retelling of 'A Christmas Carol', with a Bollywood twist and some original music from Gary Barlow, randomly.

If you're a regular reader of this column, you'll know I'm a sucker for a cheeky survey, and there's been no shortage lately of festive themed ones. I don't know about you, but I enjoy the build-up to Christmas far more than the day itself, which can feel like something of an anticlimax.

Welcome to the party, pal! Die Hard has been the subject of a great deal of heated debate in our office this week, as we try and work out if it should be classed as a Christmas film or not. A poll for the British Board of Film Classification has found that a sizeable 44 per cent said the Bruce Willis 1988 action classic should not be classified as a Christmas film, despite it being set at Christmas, and essentially being about a man trying to get home to see his family on Christmas Eve. 44 per cent are wrong, in my firm opinion. Yippee ki-yay.
