Anita Rani meets up with actress Dame Sheila Hancock to discover what Christmas has meant to her throughout her life. Sheila shares memories of childhood spent living above a London pub and as a wartime evacuee, and reflects on a groundbreaking career that has taken her from sitcom success to stage, screen and radio stardom.
