The Story of Fairytale of New York

The Pogues return to the studio where their biggest hit - and the nation's favourite Christmas song - was recorded. Steve Lillywhite strips Fairytale down to the basics, and Peter Dougherty reflects on behind the scenes of the video - including how a cameo from Hollywood star Matt Dillon stopped The Pogues from almost being arrested

The Story of Fairytale of New York airs on BBC Four HD at 12:30 AM, Saturday 20 December. (Subtitles.)
