Arthur returns to BBC Radio 4 with a celebratory Christmas special of the long-running comedy sitcom. The former variety star gets the opportunity to audition for a Christmas production of Bedknobs and Broomsticks. What could possibly go wrong?
The show features Count Arthur and his erstwhile protege Malcolm, surrounded by a host of regular characters created by Mel Giedroyc, Alastair Kerr and Dave Mounfield. The series first aired on BBC Radio 4 in 2005 and ran for seven series until the former variety star transferred to BBC TV in his eponymous sitcom in 2012.
