Sky today unveiled the official trailer for 2024 Christmas special, Bad Tidings, starring Chris McCausland, Lee Mack and Rebekah Staton. Written by BAFTA-winning team Laurence Rickard & Martha Howe-Douglas (Ghosts, Horrible Histories) with Chris McCausland, Bad Tidings will launch on Sky and streaming service NOW this Christmas.

About Bad Tidings:

It's the week before Christmas and Stockport home security expert, Neil (Lee Mack) has a problem with his neighbour. Scott (Chris McCausland) swaps their bins, complains about Neil's project' car on his drive and has had his Christmas lights up all year, shining into Neil's home office. Basically, he's a git. He's also blind, and the rest of the street think he's great.

When they try to make Scott the new head of Neighbourhood Watch, Neil can stand it no more. He questions Scott's suitability for the role ( It's Neighbourhood Watch! ) and, in the tit for tat row which ensues, Neil ends up blowing the power. For the whole street. On Christmas Eve.

Everyone, including Neil's wife and teenage daughter, is forced to take their Christmas plans elsewhere, leaving Neil and Scott alone and on guard. When infamous local crime family The Brennans decide to rob the entire street in one night ( It's like Santa in reverse ), the odd couple must team up to stop them. They've got no lights, no cameras, no alarms, but one of them is blind, which might be an advantage

The cast of Bad Tidings also includes Sarah Alexander, Ben Crompton, Emily Coates, Josiah Eloi, Millie Kiss, Tupele Dorgu, Rich Keeble, Sunil Patel and Donna Preston.

Bad Tidings will be available to preview on Sky Media Village soon
