How a college carol service became a Christmas institution

Carols from King's College Chapel, Cambridge, have become a much-loved Christmas tradition
As potatoes are peeled and presents stowed in stockings, one Christmas soundtrack is shared by millions.
For more than 70 years, carols from the Chapel of King's College, Cambridge, have been beamed into our homes and cars via TV and radio broadcasts.
But how did this simple service become so central to our collective Christmas tradition?

Where can I watch or listen?
Tickets to the TV recording and live radio broadcast are harder to get your hands on than gold, frankincense and myrrh.

For the rest of us, Carols from King's is available to watch on BBC Two at 17:45 GMT on Christmas Eve, and again on Christmas Day at 08:45, and on BBC iPlayer.
A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols will be broadcast live on BBC Radio 4, BBC World Service and BBC Sounds at 15:00 on Christmas Eve.
