First shown last year, this twinkly series brings Phil Spencer into Kirstie Allsopp’s world of hand-made fancy and folderol. When he’s not strapping his pinny on to create a silk velvet scarf for his wife, he’s dispensing advice on trees and testing time-saving domestic gadgets. Kirstie does her part by making gingerbread for Santa and perfume — “Kirstie No 1” — for her friends.
After the previous episode's children’s party, the aim today is to create a little magic for the grown-ups with a party awash with pear martinis and eggnog, and hung with red chilli wreaths and fairy lights. As harmless aspirational escapism goes, it’s all pretty addictive.
About this programme
2/4. Kirstie Allsopp and Phil Spencer provide advice on throwing Christmas parties for adults, with tips on how to create a sophisticated mood without skimping on indulgences.
