The Prime Minister revealed that while she is a fan of “Scandi dramas” such as Borgen and The Bridge, at Christmas she likes to watch something more traditionally British.

“I always like to see Doctor Who on Christmas night, if possible, and a nice Agatha Christie to curl up with. David Suchet was a great Poirot – he got him to a T,” she said in an interview with the Christmas issue of Radio Times.

Mrs May said she also enjoyed Strictly Come Dancing, although she admitted she had not seen much of former shadow chancellor Ed Balls.
