It’s an image with the potential to ruin your bank holiday: the entire family gathered around the television belting out the likes of Make ’Em Laugh, We’re a Couple of Swells and Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead.

Or perhaps TCM’s Easter Extravaganza season (which starts on Good Friday) will provide much-needed social glue during the inevitable bad weather, with classic MGM musicals, including The Wizard of Oz, Singin’ in the Rain and Easter Parade, showing in sing-along versions (with the lyrics up on screen).

It’s the kind of karaoke experience that would be frowned upon in public, but – assuming you wait until tone-deaf Uncle Alan is asleep – it might just bring your weekend to life. Equally, CSI-style chalk outlines may be required on the lounge carpet, as the best of Cole Porter and Irving Berlin are done to death.
