Plot
Uptight Andrew Bennett lives in a semi-detached house in Bedford. When he fails to buy his daughter's main Christmas present - Sparklehoof the Unicorn Princess - he is rescued by over-friendly, emotionally needy Christmas-loving Dev D'Cruz, who lives in the adjoining house. Dev has decorated Andrew’s house with tacky Christmas lights without asking. Andrew can’t sleep due to the bright lights so he pretends that the council is phoning him about a complaint in front of Dev. He also writes him an angry letter saying that they are not friends, but his wife tells him not to give it to him. Dev has managed to buy perhaps the last Sparklehoof in the UK - by click and collect. Unfortunately it is 270 miles away in Carlisle, so Andrew and Dev embark together on a cross-country Christmas Eve road trip to attempt to save Andrew's daughter's Christmas but Andrew considers him lucky as he has to deal with the extended family coming over.[2] Dev feels upset that his children are with his ex that year. At a petrol station the wrong fuel is accidentally put into the car so Andrew rents a buggy.

Reception
Click & Collect received positive reviews across the British press. The Guardian described it "funny and tender",[3] The Observer as "excellent",[4] Stephen Merchant and Asim Chaudhry were described by The Telegraph as "a mismatch made in heaven".[5] A number of reviewers noted the similarities with Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Jingle All The Way, with The Times noting that "these references are done with a wink".[6] Metro described it as "comforting, sharply written Christmas TV",[7] whilst The Daily Telegraph praised the "lively script" and "warm hearted satire", stating: "Click and Collect offered proof that, in certain circumstances, it is possible to have your cake and eat it. It subjected Christmas to a testy satirical buffeting while also smothering it with reverence as an enfolding nationwide group hug."[5]
