Tash should be at home with her five-month-old baby. Instead, she's stranded in 1984 with her younger brother Jamie—and they may have just derailed the creation of the all-star supergroup Band Aid and its iconic charity single, "Do They Know It's Christmas?" When Tash and Jamie discover a strange homemade machine among their late grandfather's abandoned garage projects, they assume it's just another of his eccentric inventions.

If anyone on Laurel Drive dared to feel festive on the first Monday in December, a small red card through the letterbox reminded them there were new Christmas rules. Dennis at Number 17 — facing his first Christmas as a widower — has “seasonalised” the street’s deliveries into a nightly Parcel Hub: tickets, passwords, tea, order. For Dennis, turning Laurel Drive into a system isn’t just efficient; it’s his way of keeping the neighbours looking out for each other.

The reluctant time travelers are spending one final Christmas together—although only one of them knows it. So, why the hell can’t that be straightforward, either? And do Raymond and Maureen need to be part of every single thing? Could you play cupid to your brother or sister? And how long would you throw at it? Thirty-four years? Grab your passport, this is going to take some time....

Tash and Jamie are back, and no one could be less pleased than her. They accidentally went to 1984 and broke it. But together they sorted out their mess. Or so they thought. Now the hapless sister and brother are back, and this time it's a matter of life or death. How far would you go to save a life? How about stealing a million pounds? Sometimes you just have to do the wrong thing. Lose yourself in Saturday Superstore, Paul Daniel's Magic Show, Sports Review of 1984 and the corridors of BBC TV Centre, this is the ultimate warning if you're ever planning a DIY heist.
