6 Epissodes - Christmas is much more than one meal: it's a season of celebration. Delia Smith presents an array of mouth-watering treats from truffles and syllabubs to the more traditional mince pies. Party-time is also catered for, and vegetarians can enjoy a menu that has moved on since the nut roast. More than anything, though, Delia's ideas, experience, planning and thoughtfulness ensure that cooks at home responsible for the Christmas meal have all the information they need to make a memorable feast.
"Lark Pies to Cranchesterford" is a sunny costume spoof in which Victorian teenager Araminty Finch (Gina Bramhill) leaves her humble hamlet to work in the Post and Potato Office in the bustling town of Cranchesterford, where the local postmistress finds a love rival for the squire in a very camp postman. Also featured are a parody documentary in which soap actress Bo Beaumont (Dame Julie Walters), creator of the iconic Boadicea Overall in "Acorn Antics," tries to revive her flagging career by auditioning for reality shows, though it becomes apparent she has no talent; and coverage of the mid-life Olympics where medals are awarded for shopping and assembling flat-pack furniture. The finale sees Victoria perform her famous Ballad of Freda and Eric, accompanied by dozens of tap-dancing Freda and Eric look-alikes.
