A Very Northern Christmas (Pt. 1 of 2)

Ever noticed how Sean Bean can never survive to the end of a film? Well, it was a cosmic demon witch that cursed him, see. But never fear! Seanses Bean from across the galaxy have converged on a London film studio to appear in the Netflix Christmas special, 'A Very Northern Christmas', in an attempt to rid themselves of this curse. All they need is for one Sean Bean to make it to the end of the film alive. Easy, right?

Merry Happy, friends!
