Because the tree is the wrong size!

Love this episode.

(BBC2 now)

Yes I love it too!

Spare goose

Why is the 'ooh aaah ' chicken so called?

The ooh-aah bird 😄

There would be some classic AIBUs from this.

Oh brilliant - this is the kind of prog I usually wrap presents to, but I'm a bit more organised this year

@Goawayquickly

The ooh-aah bird 😄

I love that!

The way Margot needs it explaining to her

One of my favourites, I am going to watch on iplayer later whilst present-wrapping.

I suppose if it were made today Jerry could have political covid instead of chicken pox

Love this episode. Watch it every year along with the Likely Lads where Bob and Thelma are dressed as elves and Terry ends up in bed with Thelma.

AIBU to expect my 9ft Christmas tree to be 9ft?
AIBU to expect the delivery driver to deliver my food on Christmas day?

I watched a Lovejoy Christmas special a fortnight ago while writing Christmas cards. It was dreadful but brilliant in a comforting way.

I've got it on DVD. One of my must watch on Christmas Eve!!

@chomalungma
Best episode when Margo goes out to amateur operatic and Gerry eats curry in the lounge! Haha

Bloody love this episode. We have had to shield so not been in a shop since March. We got an online delivery yesterday for all our Christmas food etc. I kept saying to my partner... 'Christmas is coming in a van'

@chomalungma when he wafts the smell of it around with his hand before he eats it!!

Jerry is great.

I'd love to see how Tom, Barbara, Margot and Jerry would have dealt with covid!! I can just picture them all gathering on Zoom

I'm really enjoying the making of the good life. Must try and watch it on catch up.

I was surprised to see the box set in the charts on Amazon. A friend sent me a text to say she just treated herself to it in Tescos for £15 on Saturday (it's in their top 20) and was overjoyed. We both remember it being on tv and the campaign get it on DVD the first time and rereleased in 2011 - prior to that it was extremely hard to get - copies went for hundreds of pounds on Amazon second hand and libraries found found they were stolen.

It's so nice that it's endured.

Frequently found!!

I have a copy of the celebratory book they did, I think in 2005 and the one that accompanied the "reality" tv show with Sue Perkins in 2010 (I think). It's one of my favourite tv shows (along with quantum leap) which I love to rewatch.

Haven’t watched this in years! Thanks for posting, I must have a look.

RIP Paul Eddington, Richard Briers.

Oh this is one of my faves. Having a bit of a crap time at the mo and couldn’t find anything suitable to watch so this will be ace!

grellbrunt maybe that's why the series is so popular at the moment! Enjoy!!
