Santa has arrived early in the studio this year via a new commission from Random House. Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter from McFly are the authors of a very funny festive romp of a picture book, publishing in November in time for Christmas 2012. The Dinosaur That Pooped Christmas is "about a boy who gets a dinosaur for Christmas which goes on an unstoppable festive eating rampage until Christmas is gone". More from BBC Radio 1's Newsbeat.
