And how will the five of them get on as the Christmas season sets everyone on edge? Producers: Sarah Bowen and Simon Elmes Also in this series: The Auction - sale of the century, Yorkshire style, and Christmas at 'Sandringham' - a popular seaside hotel puts up the streamers and doles out puds by the Santa-sackful...
