Christmas will be different this year. We all know that, and have done for a while. There have been many enjoyable Christmas concerts on offer online, but perhaps this one, more than any other, really feels like Christmas (though, of course, this will vary according to each individual’s view of Christmas). Although I don’t doubt that social distancing was practised, it wasn’t something I was aware of. The distances always seem natural and unforced. There is no slight awkwardness; no care taken not to get too close. It seems to be set up so that getting close wouldn’t be easy.

There are a lot of really good Christmas concerts on the internet. It is really nice that we get to see our favourite West End actors in so many concerts especially as there are a lot of events we are missing out on this year. It helps make everything feel a bit more Christmassy and when the same performers appear in different concerts they have always sung different songs so far.

This one has lots of different singers in and lots of different types of Christmas songs. There is also some dancing, Robin Windsor and Anya Garnis who used to be in Strictly dance to a version of a carol.
