Christmas comes a little early as The Retrograde team are back for another Christmas romp. Host Jack Marshall is joined by his usual happy elves of Anthony Hobday, James Mcfadyen, and Lysanne Skinner aka Lysanne Fisher. So sit back, grab some eggnog, a few mince pies, light the fire, and get ready for a bumper packed Christmas Retrograde Special!

Turn off the sad songs. Get the lights back on. And Sellotape back together those torn up Retrograde posters! The gang are back to deliver some festive cheer for a one-off special! We'll be looking back at the year that was 2015, debating all the ins and outs of the world (mostly video games, though, since that's kind of the theme of the show). We've made our lists. We've checked them twice. You're going to find out what we think has been naughty or nice in 2015.

This is the end. The End is nigh. This is how the world ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper. The last episode of Retrograde. Lets do it again once more, with feeling.

Penultimate! Say it. It pours down your throat like honey. Penultimate. That's where we are today folks. The penultimate episode of Retrograde. The final game we're doing is Golden Axe. Axe!
