Adam and Joe – Ho ho ho!

So how long, we wondered, would Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish be away from BBC 6 Music after they announced they were taking an "indefinite sabbatical" from the station at the end of 2009? Well there was the all too brief Glasto reunion, of course. And lo, now further tidings of comfort and joy for A&J fans – they're doing a one-off Christmas Day special. But sadly it might also be their last, hinted Buxton in a video message to celebrate their return. "We have been allowed into the building one last time," he said. Fans of the Sony award-winning show will hope not. Cornish promised a "three-hour pressie opening Christmas jamboree type of a programme", in which they would be "drinking, becoming a bit maudlin, rambling ... everything you loved/disliked about what we used to do at 6 Music". Adam and Joe fans, set your alarms for 10am, Christmas Day. That small talk with the in-laws will have to wait.
