Christmas with the Bishops comes with all the trimmings: homemade decorations hanging by a thread, a strategically placed centrepiece doing its best to hide last year’s gravy stain and more than enough family drama to stuff a stocking.
Robert Lord’s beloved classic unwraps four decades of triumphs, tensions and treasured traditions.
