The festive season doesn\u2019t truly get underway until someone stirs up a debate about whether or not Die Hard is a Christmas film, but Chris Ramsey<\/a> won\u2019t tolerate any dissent when it comes to one of his favourite films.<\/p>\n

Featuring alongside Paul Chowdhry, Sky Max special The Unofficial Science of Die Hard sees both comics attempt all of the truly wild stunts from the iconic \u201980s action movie.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Ramsey made his thoughts known about if Die Hard is a Christmas movie or not: \u201c100 per cent, [it is]. No question about it at all. Like, people argue that it\u2019s not a Christmas film but there are too many Christmas references. Like, there\u2019s far too many.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s scattered throughout the entire film. It\u2019s not just sat there and never mentioned again. It\u2019s fully thick of Christmas. It\u2019s 100 per cent a Christmas film and I won\u2019t hear anything against it.\u201d<\/p>

From rooftop escapes to walking over shattered glass, The Unofficial Science of Die Hard will see Chowdhry and Ramsey put all of the epic Die Hard stunts to the test, alongside engineer Zoe Laughlin who will scientifically asses the stunts.<\/p>\n

As viewers will see, Ramsey had an absolute blast doing the stunts and he revealed which ones he wish he could do all over again.<\/p>\n

He told RadioTimes.com<\/strong>: \u201cI was like a kid at Christmas. This is 100 per cent my cup of tea and back in the day I\u2019ve skydived twice, bungee jumped. I\u2019ve done loads of stuff so when they were like, \u2018Will you jump off this massive 10-metre crane onto one of those inflatable pillows?, I was like, \u2018Absolutely\u2019. I must\u2019ve done that about five or six times. I was like, \u2018Can I do it again?\u2019. It was class.\u201d<\/p>\n
