Channel 4

Training Santas is our forte, so when TwentyTwenty television asked us to make a reality show for Channel 4 about our Santa School, we couldn’t say no! We accepted the challenge to turn some lives around with the magic of Christmas.

Our usual Santa School involves training seasoned performers but this time we were faced with a group of dodgy gents from a variety of backgrounds and we needed to transform them into good Father Christmases just in time for the big day.

Cameras followed our Ministry directors and the in-training-Santas, capturing every moment of the experience and attempts to get the Santas bookings.

The show was a hit, airing on December 17th 2012, with the #BadSantas hashtag trending on Twitter before the episode ended. Reviews were positive and most importantly we found employment for all 3 of the final Santas!
