On the Christmas special of this award winning show with Molly Oldfield discover the answers to four questions sent into Everything Under The Sun by children around the world! First up we have Tara's question who was the first person to see Santa? Then we have Alessia asking How old is Santa? and finally we find out How Father Christmas met the first elves? asked by Oliver. All of these questions are answered by Neil Gaiman. Neil is an incredible author and brilliant person who knows lots about Christmas! One snowy Christmas in NYC Neil Gaiman dressed as Charles Dickens and read A Christmas Carol from the original performance copy Dickens made himself and read from 150 years ago, I did a talk about finding the book in the NYPL when researching my book, The Secret Museum Here is the link to the magical evening - https://soundcloud.com/qi-official-channel/molly-oldfield-neil-gaiman-the We also discover why red berries grow on holly, answering Hayden's question.
