Alex Jones and Steph McGovern bring us this special edition of Shop Well for Less to help us keep out of debt this Christmas

The One Show's Alex Jones and business journalist Steph McGovern head to Yorkshire to assist the Atwal-Brice clan, whose festive bill is eye-watering.

Foster parents Paul and Michael have cared for over 20 children, and 10 years ago adopted twins Levi and Lucas and recently one-year-old twins Lance and Lotan.

For them, Christmas is all about making memories for their kids and that means no expense spared – 10 Christmas trees at the last count!

Can Alex and Steph convince them that they can still have a magical time without breaking the bank and even save enough to treat the family to a trip to Disneyland in Florida?

As TV Times Highlights Editor I get to hear about all the latest TV shows coming soon. Here at TVT HQ we are in the privileged position of selecting the best programmes from across all the channels and streaming platforms. Our mission is to make it easier for our readers to decide what to watch - and give them lots of choice of genres - all the latest shows, plus some nostalgic choices we call hidden gems, too. My career began with a postgraduate degree in periodical journalism (ahem, yes old school!) in 1991 and I’ve worked in TV media since 2000.
