Airdate: The Larkins Christmas special

It may be in January but a Christmas special for The Larkins is set to screen on ABC.

This screened last week in the UK.

The Larkins are preparing for Christmas, but there’s been burglaries in the village. Pop and Ma are overjoyed to have
Mariette and Charley back for Christmas, but when Charley’s parents arrive chaos descends on the farm.

It’s Christmas and the decorations are going up, but the Larkin family are sad at not having Mariette at home for Christmas. Until Mariette and Charley suddenly return, back for good from France.

There has been a spate of burglaries in the village and determined to get to the bottom of things, Pop enlists lifelong underachiever PC Harness. Miss Pilchester is struggling to direct the village’s nativity-panto combo, not helped by a disastrous power cut. Will the villagers get their precious stolen knickknacks back? Will the power be back in time for Christmas, and the pantivity go ahead? And can Charley’s strict parents be won over by the Larkins?

As usual the Larkins rally and entertain the whole village with food, booze and warmth and allow the play to go ahead in their barn. To top it all snow is on the horizon… Will it be a Merry Christmas in Larkins Land?
