How to Spend It Well at Christmas, 8pm, ITV
Phillip Schofield returns to investigate more gifts, gadgets and gizmos that you might want to pop under your tree this year. Should we go for branded items or their budget equivalents? Ore Oduba and wife Portia join members of the public to see if they can tell the difference when the labels have been removed from various products. Meanwhile, Phillip investigates smart tech that can do everything from open blinds to make coffee. For the furry pals on your list, Gok Wan and his super-cute dog Dolly test pet products including ‘Pawsecco’, but an ingeniously simple device that helps you take the perfect doggie pic could be a winner!
