Description:

On this Christmas special edition of Saturday Live, we take a deep-dive into the world of board games.

Marcia Lewis’s has board games in her blood - her father was the creator of Cluedo.

Neil Scanllan holds not one, not two, but four world records for his remarkable collection of Monopoly sets.

Dr Harshan Lamabadusuriya, doctor by day, scrabble assassin by night, has had the best season of his life becoming the UK champion for the second time.

Also today, BBC Inside Science presenter Tom Whipple, shares with us the tips and tricks for winning some of Christmas’s classic family games - and the Mammoth star Mike Bubbins adds a sprinkling of 70’s Christmas nostalgia to proceedings.
