After a genial spirit shows the benevolent Ebenezer Blackadder visions of his unscrupulous ancestors, he resolves to mend his generous ways.

This is a delightfully cynical holiday treat, twisting a classic tale with razor-sharp wit and an utterly charmingly awful protagonist. It feels like a warm, albeit slightly wicked, hug from a beloved British comedy institution, perfect for those who prefer their Christmas cheer with a side of scathing humor.
