CHRISTMAS - Channel 4, 1995

Christmas A nightmare before Christmas

Christmas always means tough choices. What presents to buy, who to spend the day with, whether to watch the James Bond film or not. Sometimes it seems the problems will never end.

Synopsis
For 18-year-old trainee loan shark Manny, Christmas brings one dilemma he cannot ignore. Manny admires his wide-boy boss Martin more than any other man. He is the brother Manny wishes for. But Manny already has a brother – the amiable but troublesome Sean. While delivering a Christmas peace offering to Martin’s gangster rival Pinter, Manny is presented with a horrible choice: he must kill the adored Martin or Pinter will kill Sean. What will Manny do?
