...after repeating a season of the old ones

Radio 4 has commissioned another Count Arthur Strong Christmas special.

The new episode will air on December 25, creator Steve Delaney announced online.

In the run-up to the new episode, Radio 4 will repeat the  seasonal specials from 2014 onwards at 11.30am on Fridays, starting this week. 

Count Arthur’s show first aired on Radio 4 in 2005 and ran for seven series until 2012 when the Count transferred to TV for three series.

However, the washed-up variety star continued to make the  Christmas episodes, including two shows in 2016, both of which will be included in the new series of reruns.
