Mitchell and Webb are the masters of juxstaposition. This is a very dark sketch and for me pesents a visceral comment on overindulgance : The normal gluttony of Christmas is placed in the context of a social taboo of drug addiction and this is done brilliantly. Anyway this is my opinion no need to flame me if you disagree.
Second, the joke is that 'regular' people eat too much during Christmas, whilst saying 'I shouldn't, really, it's not good for me." and junkies feel the same way about their drugs. That was made clear by her going "Otherwise we'll have all of it, and it'll go straight to my bum!" in response to Webb saying they always have leftovers after Christmas.
Whats the Song at 0:40? Cheers.

Is there any particular reason that Portishead should be associated with heroin?

@ss3cleric - Really? I thought they were just trying to make the show easier to masturbate to by putting a woman in it.

@jarlhelvete First of all, Portishead is awesome.
Second, the joke is that 'regular' people eat too much during Christmas, whilst saying 'I shouldn't, really, it's not good for me." and junkies feel the same way about their drugs. That was made clear by her going "Otherwise we'll have all of it, and it'll go straight to my bum!" in response to Webb saying they always have leftovers after Christmas.

At what point in the video?
From 0.00 - 0.14 it's Sour Times by Portishead.
From 0.15 - 0.35 it's Numb by Portishead.
Don't recognise the last, but it's probably portishead again.
