There's a tradition in the Fox family of officially starting the countdown to Christmas when the radio starts playing the festive classic Walking in the Air on the radio. Consternation this year, as Aled Jones, who made the theme tune for The Snowman famous in 1982 when he was a 14-year-old choir boy, has been taken off air by the BBC in light of sexual harassment allegations made against the singer. Now the media reports that the song is to be banned.

An unintended consequence of the #MeToo campaign is the ruining of family Christmas traditions.
