The Brassic<\/a> gang are back with a Christmas special, featuring some very special guests.<\/p>\n

A Very Brassic Christmas will be on TV screens this festive period, with guest stars Imelda Staunton and Greg Davies joining the cast as Aunt Edie and Dick Dolphin respectively.<\/p>\n

According to the synopsis, the plan for the Brassic crew this Christmas is to \u201ckick back, relax and enjoy life to the max\u201d, but then arrives a spot of trouble.<\/p>

The synopsis continues: \u201cThen comes the inevitable: A call from Dr Chris saying his aunt is in crisis and needs looking after, and a robbery at Tyler\u2019s school ruining his nativity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cVinnie, Erin Tommo, Cardi, Carol Ashely and JJ must now bring on their A-game and help save Christmas the <\/span>Brassic<\/span> way. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBring on a heist at a winter wonderland, a fight with a man called Dick Dolphin, babysitting Chris\u2019s aunt and the best Nativity ever staged.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200bWith the Christmas special soon coming to Sky, RadioTimes.com<\/a> managed to get our hands on a batch of exclusive first-look images, and we\u2019re in for a Christmas treat!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Imelda Staunton, who will be starring as Aunt Edie, said that she was \u201cthrilled\u201d to be asked to join the show for the Christmas special.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cI play the character Edie, who is Dr Chris\u2019s aunt. I have watched Brassic and I am a fan and I do like it. I\u2019ve worked with Joe Gilgun and Dominic West together in the film Pride, so we\u2019ve known each other a long time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like Brassic, I think it\u2019s mad and the writing is hilarious. It\u2019s so moving, and all the characters are larger than life but so real. I was really thrilled to be asked to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the cast is Taskmaster<\/a>\u2018s Greg Davies, who portrays Dick Dolphin in the festive special.<\/p>\n
