| Summary |
*Coarse Language, Sexual References*Not everyone has what it takes to convey the spirit of Christmas. Everyone deserves a chance to turn their life around, especially at Christmas. This warm-hearted two-part documentary series follows a group of unemployed men as they are taken through their paces at the UK's most successful Santa School; but only the best will make it into the grottos in time for Christmas. In true Christmas spirit, James Lovell and Matt Grist, Managing Directors of Ministry of Fun, are offering a unique opportunity to this carefully selected group of men, each of whom have had a difficult past and are looking for a fresh start. James and Matt want to give them the chance to regain their confidence and find employment. James and Matt draw up their Santa shortlist from a huge mix of wannabes, including men who are homeless, jobless, on the sickness benefit, and even those who have had a brush with the law. The successful candidates will be put through some tough training before they are allowed to graduate as Santa. Which of them can wear a Santa costume with confidence? Who can perfect the art of a jolly 'ho ho ho'? Can they learn what the most popular Christmas toys are? And, most importantly, how will they deal with those tricky questions from children?PRODUCTION DETAILS:Channel 4 UK |
