The broadcasters\u2019 announcement of their Christmas highlights<\/a> may not be made with the same sort of fanfare as when most of us had just four television channels to choose from, but to many of us it remains the first sign of the season to come \u2013 and this year\u2019s fare is an encouraging sign of a return to normal after the disruption of the lockdown years when productions were delayed mid-shoot, postponed or even abandoned.<\/p>\n

In the latest Radio Times magazine<\/strong>, check out our preview of the best shows this Christmas<\/a> \u2013 a quick glance reveals an enticing mix of the new and the old. The BBC\u2019s big family treat is a charming animation of Charlie Mackesy\u2019s heart-warming picture book The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The illustrator exclusively drew this week\u2019s RT<\/strong> cover and tells us in the new issue how his book began as a series of messages on his social media feed about the enduring power of kindness and our ability to sustain each other during times of need.<\/p>\n

Published just before lockdown, it became a word-of-mouth hit during the pandemic, selling almost two million copies worldwide. With stars such as Gabriel Byrne, Idris Elba and Tom Hollander providing the voices, we think you will thoroughly enjoy it.<\/p>\n
