Revision as of 12:15, 22 December 2015
A Gert Lush Christmas is an upcoming British festive hour long comedy drama that will broadcast on BBC Two on 26 December 2015. It is co-written by and stars comedian Russell Howard in his acting debut. It will also star Kerry Howard (Russell's real life sister), Hannah Britland, Neil Morrissey, Sophie Thompson and Greg Davies.
Plot
Christmas 'tis the season to be jolly', unless you are Dan Colman (Russell Howard), a regular guy who is about to introduce the woman of his dream Lisa (Hannah Britland) to his crazy but lovable family in the fictional town of Bamford in Bristol.
With his fitness-obsessed Dad, party animal Uncle Tony, wonderfully inappropriate brother Jake (Dougie McMeekin) and lovable but utterly bonkers Mum (Sophie Thompson)... what could possibly go wrong?.
What begins as an over enthusiasm to welcome Lisa into the family ends with Lisa running away and making Dan regret having ever introducing her to them in the first place. The dysfunctional family pull together in their own unique and crazy way to put things right.
