French and Saunders Take on Celebs

Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French celebrate the Holiday Season with a series of surreal spoofs of Elton John, Boy George, George Michael and many others. French and Saunders Christmas Celebrity Special premieres Thursday, December 21, 11:00 p.m. ET/ 8:00 p.m. PT. C

TV’s phenomenally talented funny girls return to BBC America for a holiday special with a host of hilarious new send-ups and sketches. As well as “appearances” from celebrity guests there’s a visit to a folk festival with a special appearance from heart-throb singer Rufus Wainwright who finds he has two enthusiastic backing singers who won’t take no for an answer.

UK television’s parenting expert, Dr. Tanya Byron (Little Angels), has her hands full trying to control the behavior of the irrepressible two as they offer their own take on Broadway & West End hits The Graduate and Chicago, as well as a cheeky look at acclaimed movie, Vera Drake.
