Local novelist Malcolm Dixon joins me this week for a festive movie special. Malcolm chooses six classic films – How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Elf, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Scrooge (1951), The Apartment and Die Hard (including the perennial question – Is Die Hard a Christmas movie?).

There will also be a look back at what happened in the world of movies this week in history, and there are reviews of what is showing at the cinema including The Running Man.
