Oscar-winner Olivia Colman joins the cast of Peep Show for a festive edition of The Great British Bake Off, airing on Christmas Day at 8pm on Channel 4. The special sees the sitcom's main actors, minus Robert Webb, competing in the tent to create shortbread, turkey pies, and cake renditions of famous scenes from the show.
Colman, who played Super Hans' foil in the series, remarked: "I kind of assumed someone would do it for us." The episode promises trademark chaos, though viewers should not expect barbecued dogs—instead, two buns are described as "looking like eyeless pigs."
The special is part of Channel 4's Christmas lineup, which also includes the return of Absolutely Fabulous stars Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley in a family comedy. Meanwhile, other festive highlights include the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special and a new episode of Call the Midwife.
