THE SNOWMAN on Channel 4 is as traditional at Christmas as mince pies and mistletoe.
But, now on the 30th anniversary of the original film, Raymond Briggs' bitter-sweet tale has been given a £2m update - and the Snowman even has his own little pet.
Thankfully, the new animation - The Snowman And The Snowdog - has the original author's blessing, and previews have also suggested the story and artistry both stay fairly faithful to the 1982 version.
Indeed, given that it has made the front cover of the Christmas edition of the Radio Times (see above), it might even prove to be the highlight of an otherwise uninspired festive season on the box,
Certainly, I will be Walking In The Air on Christmas Eve at 8pm...
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
