Synopsis

This 60 minute special is not going to be one of those Christmas cookery programmes that lead to a rush on cranberries. This is hardcore Heston. Heston with the gloves off. This is his idea of what the Christmas dinner should be.

Heston pushes the boundaries of multi-sensory cooking to the limit, taking inspiration from the past, present and future of Christmas.

His six guests all have one thing in common - a genuine love of food and Heston's aim is to make them feel like children again albeit with some very sophisticated tastes.

As Terry Wogan, Kirsty Wark, Dara O'Brian, Rob Brydon, Richard E. Grant and Sue Perkins arrive, they have no idea what to expect.
