Ho-ho-ho! In the spirit of the holidays, and in the interests of giving the nightmare that has been 2020 the send-off it deserves, join Craig and James for a special extended seasonal banquet with all the trimmings as they cast their eyes back over the year in search of the cultural highlights that made it survivable.

Like Santa’s very own elves, our hosts have worked long through the night (and, in at least one case, extreme anxiety) to hammer together a gift-wrapped set of lists of the year’s best TV shows, music releases and books for your delectation. Served up with festive volumes of analysis, merriment and tasty tangents, it’s just the job for that cosy night in as the air turns frosty and rich with the whiff of nostalgia. It’s an occasion so special, even our resident A.I., the HamilTron, has let her metaphorical hair down and marinated her circuits in the Xmas spirit - multiple spirits, in fact!

PLUS – The comprehensive conclusion to our coverage of Fargo season 4, viewed through the lens of timeless movie classic (and Christmas TV stalwart) The Wizard of Oz! After a convoluted journey towards its conclusion, did Noah Hawley’s latest entry in his Midwestern crime opus stick the landing? Did it follow the maxims of Dale Carnegie to successfully win friends and influence our hosts to include it in their end-of-year lists? Did it deliver the rom-com that 2020 truly deserved? Is Pluto still a planet? The answers await in a bumper Christmas cracker!

All this AND we reveal, once and for all, the true answer to the question, “What is the all-time greatest Xmas movie?” It’s a scoop you won’t want to miss! A fantastic scoop for a fantastic world! A scoop that makes the illogical logical! Say you love Miracle On 34th Street or It’s A Wonderful Life and nobody cares, but say you love this movie and everybody makes you feel like you're a leper! But anyway, we’ve said too much!

From all at fSobriety HQ, thank you massively for being with us. We wish you all a joyful holiday season and a healthy, hopeful horizon ahead in 2021.

And remember – “The Future Is....”
