The BoroGuide Christmas Special

Here it is – the long-awaited BoroGuide Christmas Special! It is second only in stature to the great Morecambe and Wise and we’re looking to draw in an audience of 18 million on BBC 1 later this evening. Granted, we’ve checked the schedules and there appears to be a mistake …

That Wasn’t Supposed To Happen!
