He is joined every week by old school friend and 1980s school sprint champion Micky Boyd, who still believes in him. Each blames the other for the 13-year break in their friendship from 1990 to 2003. When reunited, Daniel found Micky to be an overweight family man, whilst the former sprint champ found Daniel convinced he was one half of Tears For Fears.

The Christmas Special asks how did you find out Father Christmas didn’t exist? Daniel pits his talking down a suicide jumper from a bridge against Cindy’s confident breakfast cooking in the latest Good Looks Challenge; There’s poor conversations that aren’t going anywhere; Roisin Rae tries not to confuse her kids at Christmas; Fat Man Stuart Armstrong meanwhile has bolted to Spain to flee the festivities whilst Micky fields a very awkward question in Ask Boydie.

Fat man on a Couch Stuart Armstrong talks about the horrors of having to do people favours; more Good Looks this week with journalist Jon M Welch telling us how to pull off one handed can opening; the Towel Man makes a spectacular entrance - you'll never leave the sport centre without showering again; Ask Boydie - Micky answers your questions; comedienne Roisin Rae on being a housewife; 'Daniel and The Boom Box' - more Rows with my Girlfriends; and of course, Mickellaneous.
