Best Christmas TV episodes/specials?

I recall the last Gavin & Stacey Christmas special was filmed on the HOTTEST DAY EVER or something ridiculous.
 
Predictably my favourites basically had no Xmas theme but the One Foot In The Grave specials I adore
 
Ha mine too.

"Well would you look at that. A GEARSTICK!"

"We are never going to get to the villa with NIGEL MANSELL HERE at the wheel"
 
There’s a Hi De Hi Christmas special that I adore where the campers are all drugged using Yvonne’s tablets (her obligons) that I watch every year, but it isn’t set at Christmas for obvious Summer holiday reasons.
 
League of Gentlemen

I think if I had a young child, I'd introduce them to Papa Lazarou as Father Christmas, hopefully to scare the shit out of them and put them off Christmas for a good few years.
 
Forgot about Father Ted and League of Gentlemen. Absolutely essential.

If you fancy a slightly breaker Christmas special, I’d recommend It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

OH MY GOD

I don't know whether to be more surprised that you're on moopy or that you're STILL ALIVE

Amazing !! Jack!!

“They gave us a car with HAIR CONDITIONER”

Also Victor off his face on coke .

Actually all the specials were fabulous . Highly underrated glad it’s on iplayer again
 
Also aging myself but ALLO ALLO “The Gateaux from the Chateau”

So many gags

“They are goi to rub him out - Poof! With a cigarette holder!” *camera closes up on Lt Gruber with a cigarette holder

And the whole rhyming thing I was about eight when it came out and watched it the other week remember it word for word
 
I’m on iPlayer Christmas special list, there’s some goodies in there. Been watching plenty of cheesy tat the last few days :disco:

@You Butter Watch Out which season was Miranda Mas can you remember? It’s giving me a special from season 2 but I’m not sure it’s that one

I'm fairly sure it was season 2. It's after they found out Gary was married, and I don't think that was season 1...
 
Every Call The Midwife Christmas special in existence. Sorry, but I LOVE IT.
 
The Bottom special is AMAZING. The landlord barging in PISSED as a fart at the end of the episode and slagging off his daughter ("Caaah!") was always my favourite part :D
 
I watched The Royle Family The New Sofa when it was on Dave or Gold the other night. Perhaps one of the weaker ones but still so much to enjoy.

I think The Royle Family is probably my favourite ever sitcom.

I love this one, especially Tom Courtenay as Dave's dad and not forgetting BODYBAG from Bad Girls as his mother

"Any wetters in your family Jimbo?"

I don't think TV gets any better than this

Perfection. That scene should be taught in schools.

To go from lines like 'she had soup of the day... which was Friday' :D through Barbara's exasperation at Nana saying her name again and again to 'I'm not a burden, am I?' in one scene is just breathtaking. The writing and acting couldn't possibly have been any better.
