Robin’s Nest, Christmas, 1979

Christmas At Robin’s Nest, 1979

It would take four series before we saw a festive edition of this popular sitcom.  First screened during the 1979 Christmas TV schedules almost nine months after the end of series four, series five followed hot on it’s heels.

Summary

Christmas in the Robin’s Nest household is just like everywhere else – bad tempers and frayed nerves, with a touch of seasonal goodwill thrown in.

Of course, Christmas is also a time for surprises, and the biggest surprise for Robin is one that he can well do without!
