Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith and Matt Lucas are joined by Bake Off: The Professionals host Tom Allen as they celebrate Christmas in the famous white tent. Also invited to the celebrations are Jamie and Rosie from 2019, Ruby from 2018 and James from 2017, all back and ready to battle in the festive fight for the Christmas Star Baker title. They’ll round off Christmas with popstar Alexandra Burke as she performs her magical version of “Silent Night”.

For the first time ever, the Task Cottage doors will be flung open to welcome five brand new faces from the worlds of TV, film, radio, journalism, and shiny floor entertainment, as the almighty Greg Davies sets ludicrous challenges with his Little Assistant (Alex Horne) scuttling in tow for this one-off festive special.

Rylan Clark-Neal, Shirley Ballas, John Hannah and Kristian Guru-Murthy will face the almighty Greg Davies in ludicrous challenges supervised by little Alex Horne.

A Christmas special of Channel 4’s extraordinary culinary challenge. Fred Sirieix pits a top chocolatier against a virtuoso pastry chef to replicate one of the nation’s most-loved festive choc brands - Quality Street. As ever, the chefs must work out the secret techniques and recipes behind these household favourites before creating their own replicas to be judged by a panel of Quality Street insiders and experts. So what choctastic task awaits our gourmet pâtissiers: the green triangle, the orange chocolate crunch, the strawberry delight or will it be the iconic Purple One?

The first series, which saw Michelin starred maestros work out the secret recipes behind Britain’s best-loved snacks, was one of Channel 4’s top original series launches of 2019, debuting with an audience of 1.8m and almost doubling the share of 25-34 year olds from 12.5% to 23.5%.

Inspired by a book of the same name (and one of its author's favourite creations),  Quentin Blake’s Clown is a half-hour animation that brings to life the adventures of a little toy clown, who has been thrown away with a group of fellow toys by an owner who has outgrown them. Clown has been dearly loved for many years in childhood and he has just enough magic left in him to set out and try to find a new home for himself and his friends. His journey takes him through the helter-skelter streets of the City, dodging scary dogs and even scarier adults; he even finds himself mistaken for a child and performs at a school Christmas assembly.

Each time Clown thinks he might just have found a perfect new owner, and his hopes start to rise, he gets thrown away again... and again.  At last, he finds a child who will accept him, for all his imperfections, and together as night falls on Christmas Eve, they set out to rescue his toy friends. Back in his new home, Clown helps the children to get the flat ready for Christmas. Their mother returns for a happy and festive finale. You see toys do come to life when children love them!   

Written by Russell T Davies (A Very English Scandal), the series follows a group of queer men in 1980s London set against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis.

Olly Alexander plays 18-year-old Ritchie Tozer, a youngster beginning a new life in London. There he meets the unassuming Colin (Callum Scott Howells) and party boy Roscoe (Omari Douglas) and the trio form a close friendship.

As the new virus threatens to become increasingly widespread throughout London, the series will follow the three men across the 80s as they attempt to live and love more fiercely than ever before.

It’s a Sin includes a stellar supporting cast, with Stephen Fry playing MP Arthur Garrison, Keeley Hawes (Bodyguard) as Ritchie’s mother and Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother) as Henry Coltrane.

Hypothetical is back for a brand new series! In each episode, top comedians are posed increasingly absurd hypothetical situations by hosts Josh Widdicombe and James Acaster and scored on how well they would deal with them.

Over four hilarious rounds, two teams of comedians must think fast as they are faced with a series of completely made-up scenarios and interrogated on their approach to each one.

Host Josh Widdicombe poses the questions and interrogates the guests’ methods, while James Acaster, as arbiter of the Hypotheticals, deals with the guests’ quibbles and queries and doles out the points.

The result is a fast-paced, totally improvised comedy show that never lets its guests relax!
