Guz Khan’s BBC Christmas One-Off ‘Stuffed’ Draws Split Reactions After BBC One Debut

Viewer response ranges from social-media raves to a scathing Daily Mail pan.

Overview

  • Stuffed aired on BBC One at 9 p.m. on December 23 and remains available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
  • The hour-long special follows Arslan Farooqi, who takes his multi-faith family to Lapland after an £8,000 bonus that later proves to be an error, with Guz Khan also serving as an executive producer.
  • Morgana Robinson, Theo Barklem-Biggs and Sue Johnston co-star, with the special produced by Baby Cow and Dice Roll Productions.
  • BBC comedy chief Jon Petrie previously backed the acquisition, calling the festive caper an hour-long treat anchored by Khan’s warm humour.
  • Regional outlets and viewers have praised the show and urged more episodes, while the Daily Mail ran a harsh review and highlighted posts from some viewers who said they switched off; no follow-up has been announced.
