Victoria

CHRISTMAS DAY / ITV / 9.00PM

With snow, iceskating, more Christmas trees than you can shake a stick at, and some epic family rows, the feature-length special of ITV’s Victoria is one of the most festive shows you’ll see all year!

The episode is set at Christmas 1846 as Prince Albert (Tom Hughes) goes all out to recreate the magical memories of his childhood.

But Queen Victoria (Jenna Coleman) isn’t feeling the seasonal spirit thanks to the reappearance of her mother (Catherine Flemming) and her scheming uncle, the King of Hanover (Peter Firth). However, an unusual gift gives her pause for thought.

Here, Jenna and Tom, both 31, tell us why this episode is an absolute cracker…

Victoria and Albert helped to shape our Christmases today, didn’t they?
