Suranne Jones is stepping into a bold reimagining of Charles Dickens\u2019s classic festive story A Christmas Carol, with a modern twist that should enthral TV lovers.<\/p>\n

Christmas Carole features the Gentleman Jack<\/a> star as a wealthy entrepreneur with a thriving online business, who is visited by three ghosts in the night who urge her to change her cruel and selfish ways.<\/p>\n

In a novel twist, these spirits of Christmas past, present and future are represented by major personalities from British television, who hope to show her the true spirit of the season.<\/p>

The ghosts of Christmas past will be legendary double act Morecambe and Wise, here portrayed by acclaimed impersonators Jonty Stephens and Ian Ashpitel (see above), known by their stage name Eric and Little Ern.<\/p>\n

Carole will join them in a recreation of one of their famous festive specials of the 1970s, before being approached by the ghost of Christmas present, played by stand-up comedian and actor Jo Brand, and future, in the form of fellow comic Nish Kumar.<\/p>\n

Sky has unveiled brand new images of Carole and her paranormal visitors, as well as a teaser trailer which spoofs the sentimental style of a typical Christmas advert.<\/p>\n
