Doesn't do a lot for me. I'm getting bored of these tortured sequences where it all builds up to an optimistic crescendo only for a personal tragedy to jeopardise that happy ending. I'm not a Scrooge, but it always turns out alright so why invest into anyway? A slushy rom com where you've given 90 minutes of your life may be worth a wry smile once the protagonists eventually (and predictably) get together in the final scene... but I'd prefer to see something a little more hopeful from the start.
Besides, the father is a right dick for ignoring his daughter throughout the sequence and his only act is to film her performance through a phone (although he gets bonus points for having his device in landscape).
He helps her defeat her stage fright by reminding her of her routine.

Try greedy companies who will use any reason to jack up prices and slash content.
You voted to give them that ‘excuse’.

Best BBC1 Christmas pres package since 2014. The only thing, for me, is that is doesn't feel Chrismassy enough. Snow clearly visible at the edges of the window with this first ident would have helped here.
