Get into the Christmas spirit with a rare and exclusive interview with Raymond Briggs, the creator of The Snowman and Father Christmas.
Children's Laureate Michael Rosen meets with the writer to talk about the background to these Christmas stories and to gain an insight into the characters he created.
He tells Michael why he thinks it's obvious Father Christmas should be grumpy by nature and not the traditional jolly character, and he discusses why some people think the story of The Snowman could be a metaphor for death.
Part of a series which hopes to inspire Christmas spirit in the classroom, this programme can be watched with a class as a look into creative writing or simply as a Christmas treat.
