It is Christmas Eve and Andrew realises that he has failed to buy the one present his six-year-old daughter really wanted - Sparklehoof the Unicorn Princess. Unfortunately, it also happens to be the must-have toy of the season, and he cannot seem to find one on sale anywhere in London. So he and his over-friendly - and slightly irritating - neighbour Dev set off on a journey across the country as they try to track down the last remaining toy in the whole of the UK, which happens to be 300 miles away in Carlisle. Festive comedy, starring Stephen Merchant and Asim Chaudhry

Stephen Merchant
(Actor)
.. Andrew
Born:
November 24, 1974
in
Bristol
Best Known For:
Being Ricky Gervais' best friend, and sending Karl Pilkington around the world.
Early-life:
Merchant was born in Bristol and attended Hanham High School. He graduated from University of Warwick with a first-class degree in Film and Literature.
Career:
Before Merchant met Gervais, he was performing stand-up comedy. The pair worked together at London radio station XFM. Later, Merchant worked on a production course at the BBC, in which he enlisted Gervais' help for a short film called 'Seedy Boss' - which is when the idea of The Office arose, with both writing and directing the series. While The Office then enjoyed success Stateside, Gervais and Merchant also concentrated on BBC sitcom Extras. Then came Merchant's radio show for BBC 6 Music, The Steve Show. The comic is in the midst of nationwide tour of the UK, with a stop in New York, and continues to show up in movies and TV shows, including vehicles like An Idiot Abroad and Life's Too Short.
Quote:
"Ricky's quite happy to provoke opinion, to blur the line between his acting and his stand-up persona. He likes to be a little bit provocative. He takes pleasure from that and he's good at it, and to him it feels challenging. It feels important. That doesn't concern me."
