You should be able to find the good life Christmas ep on catch up. It was shown yesterday.

Royle family Christmas specials are also my faves.

Interested in this thread?

Vicar of Dibley - both The Chrsitmas Lunch Incident and Winter. I always try to watch both on Christmas Eve.

My favourite is the first Gavin and Stacey one, from 2008 I think?
Also love The Royle Family ones but can't watch The Queen of Sheba, it reminds me so much of my Gran it breaks my heart.

Only Fools and Horses the Batman and Robin episode

YouBoggleMyMind · 23/12/2020 23:46

The Good Life Christmas ep is brilliant.
I do enjoy the original Gavin & Stacey Christmas special too.
Vicar of Dibley Christmas Dinner incident and when Alice has her baby, I think its called Winter.

Northernexile · 23/12/2020 23:50

Father Ted! And the Royle Family too.

sherrystrull · 23/12/2020 23:51

I love the Christmas episode of Bottom.
Also the Holiday Armadillo episode of friends

Quaagars · 24/12/2020 00:01

  • Father Ted Christmas special where they get lost in Ireland's biggest lingerie department Grin
  • All the Only Fools and Horses Christmas specials (Dates and Jolly Boys Outing are the best)

Vicar of Dibley episode where Geraldine takes on three Christmas dinners as she's too polite to hurt anyone's feelings lol

Mixitupalot · 24/12/2020 00:08

Ah just came on to say Father Ted, me &. DH have just watched it. Very funny episode

notafanoftheman · 24/12/2020 07:32

The Office.

cretelover · 24/12/2020 07:40

It's got to be Father Ted

SausageRoll2020 · 24/12/2020 07:41

Some brilliant classics mentioned above.

I'd also add the Christmas special of Upstart Crow that was on earlier this week (BBC so will be on iPlayer). It had us giggling all the way through and so well done with just two in the cast.

Vicar of Dibley - both The Chrsitmas Lunch Incident and Winter. I always try to watch both on Christmas Eve.
This - I love the scene where Geraldine is trying to eat the sprouts to win against David!
NorbertMeubles · 24/12/2020 08:21

Father Ted, watched it last night. Absolutely brilliant.

FindHungrySamurai · 24/12/2020 08:24

The Good Life is the most Christmassy. Father Ted is the funniest but doesn’t make me feel Christmassy.

Just watched the new Christmas episode of Ghosts, which was lovely.

dinnerladies when they discover it's Bren's birthday

evilharpy · 24/12/2020 08:41

Nothing beats Father Ted.

Also love Knowing Me, Knowing Yule with Alan Partridge.

CosyAcorn · 24/12/2020 08:42

Dinnerladies is wonderful!

The American Office when Michael hijacks Secret Santa always makes me giggle

Barbara's old ring and the new sofa episodes
