Britain's Craziest Christmas Lights, Channel 5, review There was nothing subtle about Britain's Craziest Christmas Lights (Channel 5), a paean to "a hardcore of festive fanatics" who spend all year planning how to decorate every façade of their houses more lavishly than the year before. Noddy Holder's effusive narration to "the blingiest show in town" was in keeping with the garish LED displays. His script was peppered with distracting tabloidese: a 24 year-old who programmed the lights was "a computer whizz kid," and the programme's participants had "spent tons of their well-earned dosh." Nevertheless, this hour-long assault on good taste was irresistible. The riotously tacky trawl through Britain's worst offenders for anti-social decorations began with the Skinner family from Bolsover, who proudly admitted festooning their brick-fronted house with an array of illuminated Santas and reindeer - in October. Inside one bedroom, a bed was enclosed on all sides by towering boxes of decorations that reached the roof. The attention to detail was remarkable, whether in showing the precise layout of a series of nodding reindeer, or "a penguin positioning predicament." It was astonishing to see the pride with which Dave Edwards, the 79-year-old "guv'nor" of Christmas lights, went about his task. "He does it because he's mad," said Carol, his long-suffering wife of 47 years. Best of all was the shot of Stan Truelove, who has spent £80,000 on his decorations, astride a JCB, earnestly informing us of his plans to create a "Christmas reindeer park" behind his bungalow. In the final minutes, crowds gathered to watch each "switching on" ceremony. A few locals, apparently not from the same street, were filmed saying how much their children loved the lights. But one question went tellingly unanswered: what do the neighbours think?
