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.
