It’s Christmas! 50 years on, Noddy Holder shares his key ingredients for a successful Christmas Number 1, but does reaching the festive top spot set you up life? Drama, performance and passion – Olly Alexander promises to bring all three to Eurovision 2024 and he shares a snippet of the song with Annie and Nick. Plus, Nick gives his hot take on SAULT’s first ever gig and the saga of the flying socks continues.
