”I don’t know why Santa allowed reindeers to be near elves,” Hamish Blake tells the SMH on the phone from London, where he and his partner Andy Lee are in final preparations for the broadcast of their new series, Hamish and Andy’s Euro Gap Year.
”There must have been a lot of fatalities we never heard about,” Blake says. ”I can’t think of a worse creature to be near an elf than a reindeer.”
