I agree with @rookiemere
The Christmas edition of Motherland was hilarious.

Him & Her is good. I haven't got round to watching it this year. Watched the Father Ted one earlier though.

@evilharpy

Nothing beats Father Ted.

Also love Knowing Me, Knowing Yule with Alan Partridge.

Well, I'm not going to disagree with you.

Ooh pardon!

I enjoyed and sobbed at the Royle Family Christmas special. Mainly because my dad never saw his grandkids but it was very well written and very relatable to my childhood.

The Father Ted Christmas episode with the priests in the Lingerie department.
The Bottom episode when Ritchie thinks he's the Virgin Mary.
And my all time favorite Gavin and Stacey from series 2.

Father Ted
The Office

Not a TV series but there is an Alan Ayckborne play called "Season's Greetings" which is a thing of beauty.

Good shout @chomalungma, I listened to Molokai the other day.

My faves have already been mentioned I think: Father Ted, The Good Life, Dinnerladies, Vicar of Dibley, Blackadder's Christmas Carol, the Porridge one where they get pissed on moonshine.

And for Radio 4 lovers - Cabin Pressure one is brilliant!

What is a God Rest?



They try to recreate Christmas in a cockpit because they think they have mucked up the time zones.
