Bus driver Ian says he started planning this year’s show on Boxing Day last year: “There was nothing on the telly, and I’ve done a bit every day since then.”
He added: “I like seeing the kids dancing and enjoying themselves. We try to brighten people’s lives and save their electric bills so they don’t have to do this themselves!”
