Ever wonder why we have Christmas crackers? Or Christmas cards? Or why elderly relatives eat discarded sprouts off the floor? Well, like so much in the modern world, we owe many festive traditions to the Victorians. And of course, no yuletide is complete without Charles Dickens' immortal classic, A Christmas Carol. Join Douglas and Hugh as they reveal for the first time that earlier drafts of this timeless novella featured many more Muppets than were depicted in the final film.
