The Bleak Old Shop of Stuff (2011–2012) 
Christmas Special  (2011)      S1.E0
In Victorian London foundling Jedrington Secret-Past has his shop of stuff confiscated and his wife and children jailed in the Skint debtors' prison by wicked lawyer Malifax Skulkingworm, who claims that Jedrington has inherited a debt from his supposed grandfather, which must be paid by Christmas day - eleven hours' time. Denied help by his austere adopted aunts, Jedrington's kindly uncle provides the money but Skulkingworm attempts to kill the shop keeper. He is rescued by the Artful Codger and his urchins and shown proof by Skulkingworm's clerk Fearshiver that he is not the descendant of a debtor but the child of Miss Christmasham, who deserted Malifax to marry Mr Fruitcake, the maddest man in the Skint. After the family has escaped from jail with jovial Mr Jollyforth, Miss Christmasham and Fruitcake marry on Christmas eve, thus giving Jedrington legitimacy and thwarting the evil lawyer.

The Alternative Christmas Message (2023)
Stephen Fry addressed the rising tide of antisemitism around the world in a message in which he proclaimed his own Jewish heritage, acknowledging that most people do not realise this, thinking him to be "quintessentially English", before saying "There is real fear stalking the Jewish neighbourhoods of Britain... Jewish people here are becoming fearful of showing themselves. In Britain, in 2023. Can you imagine, Jews afraid to be themselves in the open for fear of reprisal?" and urged the audience to call out antisemitism saying: "Standing upright means speaking up and calling out venomous slurs and hateful abuse wherever you encounter them."
