Synopsis:

Hugh Bonneville stars as the eponymous tramp who reunites a young girl's family in this TV adaptation of David Walliams' comic festive tale. After discovering Mr Stink and his dog Duchess in a nearby park, friendless 12-year-old Chloe (Nell Tiger Free) invites him to stay in her family's garden shed. Initially horrified by the sight and smell of their new 'guest', Chloe's dysfunctional mum (Sheridan Smith) and dad (Johnny Vegas) finally relent. As news of his arrival does the rounds and his celebrity spreads, Mr Stink finds himself embarking on a journey that takes him to 10 Downing Street, before finally bringing Chloe's family together again in time for Christmas.

Chloe is a lonely little girl with a mother more interested in entering right wing politics, father yearning for his old life as a rock guitarist and child prodigy younger sister. One day she meets Mr Stink, a malodorous tramp,and his clever dog the Duchess, and lets them live in the family's garden shed. Chloe becomes Mr Stink's best friend and, after he has refused to be part of the prime minister's homelessness campaign, she discovers his real identity and the sad events leading to his vagrancy. Mr Stink reunites Chloe's family but turns down their invitation to spend Christmas with them, though, before moving on, he thanks Chloe for giving him hope.

A magical, heart-warming story for Christmas, based on David William's best-selling book.
