Royal drama Victoria returns for a one-off Christmas special starring Jenna Coleman and Tom Hughes. The two-hour special will celebrate all of the festivities of a Victorian Christmas at Buckingham Palace.
Set in Christmas 1846, the episode sees Victoria uncharacteristically melancholy as she prepares to tackle her first Christmas without her beloved Baroness Lehzen. Pregnant with her and Albert's fourth child, the festive period reminds her of her lonely childhood spent at Kensington.
Albert, on the other hand is gripped by an obsession with staging the perfect family Christmas, transforming the palace into a magical festive wonderland. Tensions arise between him and Victoria, however, when Albert invites some unwelcome house guests to join the celebrations.
Below stairs, having accepted their feelings for one another, Francatelli and Skerrett are finally together. However, as romances amongst staff are forbidden, the pair cannot show that they're in love to their co-workers which puts strain on the relationship.
The situation complicates further when Skerrett inherits a large estate from an estranged uncle.
