    On the heels of the highly successful Back in Time for Dinner comes Back in Time for Christmas, revealing how family life has been shaped by the way people celebrate the holidays.

  • 1. Back In Time For Christmas - The 1940s, '50s and '60s

    A wartime Christmas has the Robshaws embracing the "make do and mend" spirit for presents (carrot fudge, anyone?), and they sit down to unrationed ox heart and a Christmas pudding made primarily of grated potato. The 1950s bring ham with tinned peaches, canapes, cocktails, and the first televised Queen's speech, while Fred's '60s gift of a chocolate smoking set would hardly raise an eyebrow back in the day.

  • 2. Back In Time For Christmas - The 1970s, '80s and '90s

    The Robshaws discover how the race for a number-one Christmas single was born and meet an EastEnders star who reminisces about the soap's fine tradition of Christmas misery. And the family discovers how, as consumerism reached fever pitch in the 1990s, Christmas gluttony started with breakfast and didn't stop there.
