00:00:00Christmas!
00:00:15Welcome to my Christmas quiz night and to everyone who left their outdoor lights up from last year.
00:00:21Well done. Your entire street has slagged you off for 11 months, but finally you showed them.
00:00:27My wonderful guests will be wrapping presents, watching some Christmas telly and blaming each other if someone on their team gets the question wrong.
00:00:36Just like a typical Christmas in their own houses.
00:00:39You can play along at home too, so pour yourself a tea, Maria.
00:00:42Take the cling film off your vollevents and let's get started.
00:00:46With comedian and author Shafi Kosandi, we have Fairy Godmother and Birds of a Feather star,
00:00:55Leslie Joseph, and her ugly sister, Dame Christopher Biggins.
00:00:59And with actor and comedian John Thompson, we have the lovely Debbie McGee,
00:01:07and the equally lovely comedian Stephen Bailey.
00:01:16Christopher, you've never had a Christmas at home, have you, when you've not even been in Panto?
00:01:21No, I'm always doing Panto, but I did do Christmas one year at my house and we had, I think, 14 people over.
00:01:28Who? And we managed to cook, we had tables all joined together, and a great friend of mine,
00:01:32his mum sat opposite me, and she wanted to go to the Luitwell particular point,
00:01:36and she got up, and she was wearing a lovely paper hat, and she put her head forward and hit a candle,
00:01:41and the whole of her head went up in flames.
00:01:43Ha, ha, ha.
00:01:44Ba, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
00:01:47Now, Leslie, what's going on here, love?
00:01:49Biggins, actually, you and me. That's when we were, we were doing tipping points. Do you remember?
00:01:54I do.
00:01:55You've got a Christmas tradition, haven't you?
00:01:57Oh, I have, I have, I have. I love doing my own Christmas cards,
00:02:01and I've been doing it for about 25 years.
00:02:03So, every year, I find a picture that it might be me on a camel,
00:02:07it might be me outside number 10, it might be me with,
00:02:11I did one with my head upside down in a, in a bucket.
00:02:15I've just everything.
00:02:16Now!
00:02:17Ha, ha.
00:02:19Just a quiet night at home with Leslie and a few friends.
00:02:23Chappie, what are your Christmas memories?
00:02:26Well, my mum and dad aren't, um, originally from this country,
00:02:30and they did not understand Christmas trees.
00:02:33My mum decorated a, an yucca plant that we had,
00:02:37and I was like, that's not it.
00:02:38She was like, well, you want to bring a tree in from the garden?
00:02:40I was like, no, you go, no, you go to the garden centre and you get a tree.
00:02:44And then I was telling her about Santa,
00:02:46and she was like, what, a man's coming down the chimney and leaving you presents?
00:02:49It's a bit mad when you think about it.
00:02:51It is a bit mad.
00:02:52So now that I'm an adult, because there was a bit of a deficit of a traditional Christmas,
00:02:56I go to town.
00:02:57Right, so this is what I mean.
00:02:59This was our Christmases.
00:03:00My mum and dad would make an effort by taking us to a friend's house,
00:03:04but nothing much would be going on,
00:03:06and I would just sit there, a bored 15-year-old,
00:03:08because I spent most of Christmas Day just reading on my own, really bored,
00:03:12just with no presents.
00:03:13That's literally your Christmas Day?
00:03:15Literally, I was there all day.
00:03:16No Santa, nothing.
00:03:18John, here's you.
00:03:20Oh, Lord.
00:03:23So what did the Thompsons get up to at Christmas?
00:03:27We'd get together, we're a very small family,
00:03:29but I used to love Boxing Day, weren't some bananas,
00:03:31and it was always the same.
00:03:32Bingo, Beetle Drive, and indoor fireworks.
00:03:36That was brilliant.
00:03:38I loved it, of the 80s.
00:03:39Yeah, yeah.
00:03:40Debbie, who do you have round at your house at Christmas?
00:03:42Well, it's always a big family affair,
00:03:44but Christmas morning we have a big tradition.
00:03:46What's that?
00:03:47Whiskey porridge.
00:03:49Anyone have whiskey porridge?
00:03:51Why have I never done that?
00:03:52Years ago, what happens?
00:03:54Well, years ago, Paul and I were staying in the Lake District,
00:03:56and it was at one of those hotels that you had to eat what they gave you,
00:03:59there wasn't a choice, and breakfast was whiskey porridge,
00:04:03and we said, right, we're going to steal that for Christmas morning.
00:04:05I think we'll be doing that.
00:04:07Even, my darling, you're named after my favourite part of Christmas, Baileys.
00:04:12Any festive traditions in your family?
00:04:14Um, yes.
00:04:15When we were kids, my cousin always made us dress up as elves,
00:04:18with like a bin bag, and we had to go around and give out the presents.
00:04:21Oh, there he is!
00:04:22Look!
00:04:23That is so cute.
00:04:24I just love that we've gone to that much effort,
00:04:26but then, with a sack, we've just gone, get a bag.
00:04:29Do you know what?
00:04:30All the costumes.
00:04:31We'll just do a bin bag.
00:04:32Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:33Anyway, enough of that.
00:04:34This is supposed to be a quiz, so I'm about to give you some questions,
00:04:37and I would like to receive some correct answers.
00:04:40Shappie, your team's first.
00:04:43In an old-style box of Quality Streets, which one is the blue one?
00:04:47Purple.
00:04:48Oh, purple.
00:04:49Oh, um, coconut.
00:04:50Which one is the blue one?
00:04:51Oh.
00:04:52Oh.
00:04:53As I'm dressed as a quality seri, I can confidently say coconut.
00:04:56Shappie, well done.
00:04:58What have you done, you?
00:04:59Oh, my sweet.
00:05:00The coconut one, a.k.a. the one that goes straight in the bin.
00:05:04Now, John's team.
00:05:06What item has been made annually on TV for more than 60 years
00:05:11and requires galvanised wire, pliers, four peppercorn canister lids,
00:05:17fireproof tinsel, four candles and four coat hangers?
00:05:20I know it.
00:05:21Go on.
00:05:22It's the Blue Peter Advent Crown.
00:05:24Yes!
00:05:25Well done.
00:05:26Well done.
00:05:27Well done.
00:05:28It was a flamethrower tinsel.
00:05:29Daffy's team.
00:05:30What has this building got to do with Christmas?
00:05:33Oh, Home Alone.
00:05:34Home Alone, yes.
00:05:35Yes.
00:05:36It's the house from Home Alone, and in case you want to visit it,
00:05:39it's on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, and you'll spot it
00:05:43because it's the one with a massive fence outside that says,
00:05:46please, for the love of God, leave us alone.
00:05:49Since 1979, what has been released annually in time for Christmas
00:05:53and has sold more than two million copies in total
00:05:56and occasionally contains topless photos?
00:05:59Is it a calendar?
00:06:00Calendar.
00:06:01Yeah.
00:06:02Which one?
00:06:03Oh.
00:06:04Not a bad answer.
00:06:05That's not a bad answer.
00:06:06Not a bad answer.
00:06:07Is it?
00:06:08Pirelli tyres.
00:06:09Oh.
00:06:10Gonna have to hurry you.
00:06:11Pirelli tyres.
00:06:12Nearly.
00:06:13Cliff Richard.
00:06:14Oh!
00:06:15Oh, how amazing is that?
00:06:17What?
00:06:18I thought you were gonna say a different kind of tyre then.
00:06:20Yeah.
00:06:21Can we have half a point for calendar?
00:06:23Yes.
00:06:24Okay.
00:06:25Which shopping guide, first published in 1973,
00:06:27was at one time the most widely printed publication in Europe?
00:06:31Shopping guide.
00:06:32Shopping guide.
00:06:33Littlewoods?
00:06:34Woolworths?
00:06:35Littlewoods?
00:06:36Argos?
00:06:37Argos, yes.
00:06:38Yes.
00:06:39It was the Argos catalogue.
00:06:40Yay.
00:06:41Who used to pore over the Argos catalogue when you...
00:06:43Oh, we all do.
00:06:44I used to circle it all, mate.
00:06:45Yes.
00:06:46I used to circle it all.
00:06:47It wasn't really Christmas if you didn't circle every single toy
00:06:49in the Argos catalogue, only for your parents to just laugh in your face.
00:06:52LAUGHTER
00:06:53OK.
00:06:54According to the rarely seen introduction to the film,
00:06:56this is really unusual, this,
00:06:58which music legend did the little boy in the snowman
00:07:01apparently grow up to be?
00:07:03I didn't know this.
00:07:04Don't he become Alan Jones?
00:07:06No, that's who sings on it.
00:07:08LAUGHTER
00:07:09I just think the clue is in the word rarely seen,
00:07:12and I haven't seen it.
00:07:14LAUGHTER
00:07:15Has anybody?
00:07:16Has anyone?
00:07:17No.
00:07:18Oh, one person knows it.
00:07:19Bowie.
00:07:20Bowie.
00:07:21David Bowie.
00:07:22David Bowie.
00:07:23Yes, it was, but you didn't get it.
00:07:24No, we didn't.
00:07:25Let's have a look at a wistful Bowie
00:07:27rocking a Christmas jumper,
00:07:28charmingly weaving a nostalgic tale from his old attic.
00:07:35This attic's full of memories for me.
00:07:37We spent all our summers by the seaside,
00:07:40and in winter, at home, by the fire.
00:07:44Frost on the window,
00:07:46and snow...
00:07:48snowballs and making snowmen.
00:07:52One winter I met a really big snowman.
00:07:56He got this scarf for me.
00:07:58You see, he was a real snowman.
00:08:02A real snowman.
00:08:09Unbelievable.
00:08:10Now, I've got to stop here,
00:08:11because I've just heard that young Leslie Joseph here
00:08:14worked with him.
00:08:15He was the first person I ever worked with.
00:08:17When I left drama school in 1967,
00:08:19my agent there, Michael Summonson, said,
00:08:21would you like to do a television?
00:08:22Which I've never done.
00:08:23I'd only just left drama school.
00:08:24And I said, yes, I'd love to.
00:08:25He said, well, I've got somebody else to do it with you.
00:08:27And we used to travel out to Teddington every day.
00:08:30And I went...
00:08:31He always used to say,
00:08:32come and see Angie and me at the Arts Lab.
00:08:33Come and see Angie and me at the Arts Lab.
00:08:35And he wasn't known as David Bowie then.
00:08:37And I always said, yes, I will,
00:08:38and I never did,
00:08:39and it was David Bowie.
00:08:40He was the first person I ever worked with.
00:08:42Leslie!
00:08:43That's unbelievable.
00:08:44First person I ever worked with was Kerry Katona.
00:08:46LAUGHTER
00:08:49OK, teams.
00:08:50Time for the Christmassy mystery box.
00:08:57John!
00:08:58Johnny's Bean!
00:08:59Ooh!
00:09:01Santa's delivered you a present, John.
00:09:03And in your box are three Christmas items.
00:09:06I'd like you to reach inside,
00:09:07and without looking,
00:09:08you've got to describe them to your mates,
00:09:10and you'll get a point for each one.
00:09:12They correctly identify.
00:09:13Now, for our viewers at home,
00:09:15here's what's in the box.
00:09:17If you don't want to know,
00:09:18look away now.
00:09:22OK, John.
00:09:23Now, I get it.
00:09:24I've got a jar,
00:09:26a glass jar,
00:09:27with a teaspoon in it.
00:09:29So, I'm guessing,
00:09:31the number one condiment
00:09:32on the Christmas table...
00:09:34Cranberry.
00:09:35Cranberry.
00:09:36Well done.
00:09:37All right, OK.
00:09:39I was thinking, John.
00:09:40Right.
00:09:41It's popular,
00:09:42it's a popular
00:09:44confectionery
00:09:46in pastry.
00:09:48Oh, mince pie.
00:09:49Correct.
00:09:50Mince pie.
00:09:51Well done.
00:09:52Well, I don't know.
00:09:53You're right.
00:09:54I'm saying correct.
00:09:55My fingers know.
00:09:57Right, that's that.
00:09:58I've done that one.
00:09:59Oh, hello.
00:10:00Oh, right.
00:10:01So,
00:10:02it's what your mum and dad said,
00:10:03that they only got one of these
00:10:05in their stocking
00:10:06and a few nuts.
00:10:09Clementine.
00:10:10Yes.
00:10:11Yes.
00:10:12Yes.
00:10:13Well done.
00:10:14It's all right.
00:10:15Everyone's mum and dad
00:10:16has done that.
00:10:17Three points there.
00:10:18It was a satsuma.
00:10:19Minced pie
00:10:20and some cranberry sauce.
00:10:21OK, Shappy.
00:10:22The Christmassy mystery box
00:10:23has travelled on Santa's sleigh
00:10:25to your desk.
00:10:26For our viewers at home,
00:10:27here's what's in the box.
00:10:28OK, Shappy.
00:10:32Have a feel
00:10:33and see if you can describe
00:10:34your team,
00:10:35what the three items are.
00:10:36Remember,
00:10:37they're all Christmassy foods.
00:10:38All right,
00:10:39there's a bowl of something.
00:10:40OK.
00:10:41Ah, now,
00:10:42everyone pretends
00:10:43that they like these,
00:10:44but they're a bit like marmites.
00:10:46Sprouts?
00:10:47No, I mean,
00:10:48they literally taste of marmite.
00:10:49They're like,
00:10:50they look like little sticks.
00:10:51Oh.
00:10:52Oh,
00:10:53I like them.
00:10:54Do you like them?
00:10:55Yes.
00:10:56But they've dried the roof of your neck.
00:10:57Twiglets.
00:10:58Well done.
00:10:59Yes.
00:11:00Well done, Biggie.
00:11:01Well done, Biggie.
00:11:02Yeah.
00:11:03Now I'm picking up something cold.
00:11:05Oh, hello.
00:11:06Also,
00:11:07also in a bowl.
00:11:08Oh, I'm going to put my hand in it.
00:11:09It's going to be squashy.
00:11:10Oh,
00:11:11that's very creamy at the top.
00:11:12And then a bit...
00:11:13Is it like trifle?
00:11:14I think that is...
00:11:15I mean,
00:11:16if that's not trifle,
00:11:17I don't want to see what it is.
00:11:18Is it trifle?
00:11:19Well done.
00:11:20OK.
00:11:21OK.
00:11:22Right.
00:11:23Oh, here's another bowl.
00:11:25I'm really scared to put my hand in it.
00:11:26OK.
00:11:27Oh.
00:11:28These are warm and they're round.
00:11:29Sausages?
00:11:30No.
00:11:31They're like...
00:11:32Like little balls.
00:11:33Like little balls.
00:11:34Scotch egg?
00:11:35No.
00:11:36Small round balls.
00:11:37I put my thumb in it.
00:11:38In this warm,
00:11:39mushy ball.
00:11:41A ball.
00:11:42A ball?
00:11:43Yeah.
00:11:44It's like a sack.
00:11:45Stuffing?
00:11:46Oh.
00:11:47That'll be it.
00:11:48Well done.
00:11:49It's a stuffing ball.
00:11:50It's a stuffing ball.
00:11:51Congratulations.
00:11:52Three points there.
00:11:53Yes.
00:11:54It was a trifle.
00:11:55Stuffing balls and some twiglets.
00:11:56OK.
00:11:57Who wants to see how twiglets are made?
00:11:59Yes.
00:12:00But instead, let's watch some illuminating footage of Mr Bean using his trademark creative
00:12:06thinking to make some twiglet alternatives.
00:12:09course.
00:12:10Everybody stirs.
00:12:11Please.
00:12:12Guys, let's just play this.
00:12:14Ladies, ladies.
00:12:15Yes.
00:12:16Yes.
00:12:17Where did he lose your 살�led flag?
00:12:19Yes.
00:12:20God, I saw that the camera on him.
00:12:21Yes.
00:12:22Well done.
00:12:23Well done.
00:12:24Under the him dancing jump.
00:12:25Now we do the presence.
00:12:26That was good, Also.
00:12:27At the end of that round, John's team, you've scored four and a half, and Shappie's team,
00:12:44you scored six.
00:12:49It's nearly time for the break, but I'm feeling festive, so let's pull a cracker.
00:12:53Shappie and Biggins, do you want to start us off?
00:12:56Yes, indeed.
00:12:57Right, it's behind you.
00:12:58Yes, it is behind me.
00:12:59Oh, no, it's not.
00:13:02That's the first one.
00:13:04Right, here we go.
00:13:05Ready?
00:13:06Oh, look, I've got it here.
00:13:09Magic.
00:13:09As if by magic.
00:13:12What do you call Santa if he forgets to wear underwear?
00:13:16Oh, well, we'll find out the punchline after the break.
00:13:20Welcome back.
00:13:35Before the break, we've pulled the cracker and asked, what do you call Santa if he forgets
00:13:40to wear underwear?
00:13:41Go on, Biggins, give us a punchline.
00:13:42Saint Nicholas.
00:13:45Oh, there we go.
00:13:47Beautiful, beautiful, yes.
00:13:50Oh, good.
00:13:51This is a quiz about Christmas.
00:13:54And how do you know Christmas is coming?
00:13:56The first drop of snow?
00:13:57The sound of Mariah Carey's annual warble?
00:14:00No, the adverts.
00:14:01We're going to start this round with some quickfire questions about Christmas adverts.
00:14:05John's team, you're up first.
00:14:07Which hugely important Christmas store was advertised by a cartoon giraffe called Geoffrey?

00:24:56But can you remember which star ended up having to perform in front of two cleaners?
00:25:01Having been sent on a surreal wild goose chase to keep him from finding his way to the studio. I think it was the

00:28:48I think Leslie play it
00:28:50Plain Sprout
00:28:51I agree which one we think Leslie's playing Sprout
00:28:54But we don't think she's got the sprout
00:28:56She's got chocolate
00:28:57Right, we think Shabby's chocolate

00:29:17You know what to do
00:29:18Two
00:29:19Two
00:29:20Two
00:29:21Two
00:29:22Two
00:29:23Two
00:29:24Two
00:29:25Two
00:29:26Two
00:29:27Two
00:29:28Two
00:29:29Two
00:29:30Two
00:29:31Two
00:29:32Two
00:29:33Two
00:29:34Two
00:29:36Three
00:29:38Three
00:29:39Think
00:29:40Okay, Shabby's team Who's got the sprout?
00:29:41Don't think
00:29:42Debbie has
00:29:53Well is he does do you think she has yeah?
00:29:58Playing Sprout
00:29:59She's a very very good actress
00:30:00I feel that whatever jump into his mouth was very Small
00:30:02But I kind of feel this probably I just feel like oh
00:30:06I say Stephen. How can they give lovely Debbie a sprout easily? That's not how I think I come on guys
00:30:14I've got everything young. I think Debbie. I'll go with two against one Debbie Debbie. Have you got this brown?
00:30:20She got you. It was a sprout. I did say that because you did it very quickly. You're well done Debbie. That's a point to your team John. Well done.
00:30:38Oh that was angin. Not even a bacon lard. I'd have a sprout. Mine was lovely. I've got an abs for out one if you want it.
00:30:47Right. Many of us would be lost without a TV cookery experts help making Christmas dinner
00:30:53Whether it's Delia holding our hand through a punishing timetable of prep or Nigella convincing us we can look sexy while peeling spuds
00:31:02But some go the extra mile and provide us with something a bit surprising. It's time for some extra helpings
00:31:09Shaffi's team this game to you take a look at this when you buy your Christmas turkey
00:31:20I what if you do as I do and buy one just a little on the large size
00:31:25There's so many delicious things can be made from leftovers
00:31:29But also it is more economical to buy a large turkey. You'll get more meat to bone
00:31:35Oh wow. We all like more meat to bone. That was the very natural hosting of Dorothy's late home
00:31:42Giving us some kind and practical advice in making use of leftover turkey in a
00:31:481971 edition of ITV's long-running daytime cookery show farmhouse kitchen
00:31:53But what extra thing does Dorothy do in this Christmas episode does she a
00:32:00cough repeatedly be
00:32:02Explain the best way to clean up various different kinds of spillage or see offer some cheap alternatives to traditional ingredients
00:32:10Yes, um I think she probably clears up. I think because she's talking about you get more meat to the bone
00:32:17She's already on the subject of being
00:32:20Yes, I yes
00:32:22alternatives
00:32:24Absolutely wrong. Okay, the answer is a oh oh coughs
00:32:30Repeatedly. Oh, it's very subtle. So you might not notice, but here are some examples can be prepared quite a little in advance as you will see
00:32:40They're delicious for a party or just a snack over the fire
00:32:48Excuse me
00:32:50And now all I have to do is to tell you about our recipe leaflets. Oh
00:33:03My goodness why bother stopping for a retake just crack on wasting tape no one will know
00:33:09Really good in later years farmhouse kitchen was hosted by grace Mulligan and in the 1986 Christmas show
00:33:16She welcomed guest chef Jocelyn dimblebee who roasts a goose for a bonus point
00:33:21What do you think Jocelyn suggests you do with leftover goose fat and dripping?
00:33:26Um
00:33:28Give it the dog. No spread it on toast
00:33:32No, don't actually use it as some sort of thing to put on your face skincare. I'm gonna give you that here's Jocelyn
00:33:38daintily fondling some goose fat and politely offering some old-fashioned medical advice and
00:33:44And the first job you have to do is to take out the fat there's lots of fat inside it and you take out all the excess fat
00:33:53You may think it's a messy job
00:33:55But in fact just think what good it's doing to your skin your hands wonderful hand cream
00:33:59What I normally do is I boil down the fat
00:34:02And keep a lot of dripping because it's very valuable
00:34:05You shouldn't shouldn't throw it away because it does make the best roast potatoes ever or you can even just rub it on your chest when you have a cold
00:34:12Apparently it works a wonder
00:34:14Oh
00:34:15Hand cream rub it on your chest
00:34:18Lag your ceiling with it
00:34:21Next one and food and drinks Jilly Goulden was known for a creative description of what wine tastes like
00:34:28I mean it tastes like wine done it to me, but not to Jilly
00:34:31No in a Christmas drink segment what unnecessarily weird words does she use to describe some ruby ports is it a
00:34:40A winter's afternoon in East Sussex be scattered potpourri or see
00:34:47Wisteria up an old cottage
00:34:49Oh, it has to be wisteria up an old cottage
00:34:51I know the feeling
00:34:58That's Christmas in begging's house let's
00:35:00That's an enthusiastic Jilly meticulously describing the taste of port
00:35:07And I'm looking at the most junior
00:35:09Insignificant sort of port if you like that you can get it's a ruby port from Portugal, but is it a wow?
00:35:15$5.99, but it packs all sorts of gorgeousness in
00:35:20Do you know what that smells like on a summer's day when you've just had a little rain shower?
00:35:26But it's still warm enough to bring out this lovely scent to the flowers wisteria up an old cottage. That's what it is
00:35:35Just made up on the weekend and you know a puddle in Bournemouth I mean one of my favorites is raspberries in a suede shoe
00:35:42She said it that's a real one raspberries in a suede shoe
00:35:50Okay, John's team the next games for you cooking Christmas dinner is a lot of work in tea
00:35:55Well, anyone who struggled with the Christmas dinner will feel right at home with this game
00:35:59It's all about sitcom characters who've had cooking disasters at Christmas. Let's play festive feasting fails
00:36:06The first one have a look at this. Anyway, why don't you do what I do, eh?
00:36:15You know, just put the dinner in your mouth and think of England
00:36:20Right, here we go
00:36:29Not bad, not bad, not bad going there
00:36:32Slightly underdone, maybe
00:36:34Yeah, that was the first ever only films and horses Christmas special in 1981 and
00:36:41Dell and Rodney are putting on a brave face as they tuck into the very unappetizing looking turkey
00:36:46That granddad has prepared around their cramped but festive table now
00:36:50It seems to be going better than they feared, but then
00:36:54What goes wrong with this Christmas dinner? I know this one, you know this kind of granddad left the giblets in the turkey
00:37:00Here's Dell and Rodney going from disbelief to horror to blind panic
00:37:07You didn't throw the giblets away, did you?
00:37:13I only asked, I only asked, because I promised to be the old girl downstairs for a cat
00:37:17There weren't any giblets in it, dear old boy
00:37:19It was really clean, said so on the box
00:37:22Yeah, I know it was really clean granddad what they do is they take the giblets out, put it in a plastic bag and they put it back inside the turkey, don't I?
00:37:27Didn't I?
00:37:28Didn't I?
00:37:29Yeah
00:37:34You took the bag out, didn't you?
00:37:36Oh, didn't I was in there, Debbie?
00:37:38Oh, my God
00:37:39Do you have everything still in it?
00:37:42Oh, my good God
00:37:44Blimey, it's like peering at the jaws of Elia
00:37:48Well done, Debbie
00:37:50Next one, here's Rick Mayle in all his greasy-haired, overconfident glory as Richie preparing dinner in the 1992 Christmas special of Bottom
00:38:01And turkey a la oven
00:38:04Mmm, yeah, that's great, actually get their taste buds going
00:38:07I don't know, Eddie
00:38:09When it comes down to it, there's only me and Keith Floyd left
00:38:12Oh, no
00:38:13But what gruesome accident is Richie about to have in his head?
00:38:18I don't know
00:38:19He's definitely gonna slice something
00:38:21The cleaver is stuck into a body part
00:38:26This is true
00:38:27Yeah, what though?
00:38:28But you have to tell me that
00:38:29I think
00:38:30That's what I would guess
00:38:31Yeah, I would guess, yeah
00:38:32Because that I'd finish here, wouldn't it?
00:38:33Yeah, so I think
00:38:34Hands
00:38:35Yeah
00:38:36Okay, I'm gonna give you that
00:38:37He cuts his finger off
00:38:38Yeah
00:38:39Let's have a look at some typically grisly Christmas carnage from Richie and Eddie
00:38:44Oh!
00:38:45Oh!
00:38:46Oh!

00:38:54Help!
00:38:55Why?
00:38:56What have you done?
00:38:58I would have thought that was totally obvious, wouldn't you?
00:39:00Oh!
00:39:01Oh!
00:39:02Hi, how are you?
00:39:03Oh!
00:39:04I can't even watch that
00:39:06For a bonus point
00:39:08Because Eddie's drunk all the brandy
00:39:10What do they decide to make instead of brandy butter?
00:39:13It's on the same lines
00:39:15I'll give you a little clue
00:39:16Gin butter
00:39:18Do you know what?
00:39:19You're not far off
00:39:20Okay
00:39:21What is it?
00:39:22Vodka
00:39:23Vodka butter
00:39:24Vodka butter
00:39:25I'm gonna give you half a point
00:39:26It was vodka margarine
00:39:28Oh!
00:39:29Oh!
00:39:30Hey, don't knock it
00:39:31So you've tried it

00:40:13Oh!
00:40:14They're getting better!
00:40:15Excellent!
00:40:16I don't know about you, but hearing Christmas songs in the shops or on radio gets me right in the Christmas mood
00:40:23Apart from when it's November and then it gets right on my nerves!
00:40:26Why are Carrie and Slade are as much a part of Christmas for me as Santa and his reindeer, so your quick-fire questions this time are all about Christmas music.
00:40:33Okay, John's team
00:40:34Who's face is covered by a snowball in this Christmas music video?

00:41:40Now that was Christmas number one in 1985, but actually it was meant to go out in 84
00:41:45But they held it back a year because a band-aid the minute band-aid came out the management went that's never

00:43:10Yes
00:43:12Yes

00:43:19Okay
00:43:19The Christmas number one in 1992 was Whitney Houston, I Will Always Love You
00:43:24What followed in 1993?
00:43:28I Will Always Love You was number one for about four years, wasn't it?
00:43:31Was it her?

00:43:44By Mr. Blobby
00:43:45Oh, I'm so
00:43:46I was thinking that
00:43:47And then I thought
00:43:48You're such a moron
00:43:49If you say that out loud
00:43:50Shappies team
00:43:52Who beat John Lennon to Christmas number one in 1980?
00:43:561980
00:43:57Oh, God
00:43:58Is it Kim Wilde?
00:44:00Kim Wilde?
00:44:01Nearly
00:44:01Oh
00:44:02It was the incredibly gifted St. Christopher's school choir
00:44:05Oh
00:44:06And they demoted John Lennon's final single
00:44:11Just like starting over to the number two spot
00:44:14Yeah
00:44:15Let's have a look
00:44:16At those adorable
00:44:17And hugely talented children

00:44:46That's amazing
00:44:48Brilliant
00:44:49And I've not changed a bit
00:44:51Now, what better time than Christmas
00:44:55To settle down with the family
00:44:57Watch a film
00:44:57Then fall asleep
00:44:59And never ever see the last 40 minutes of said film
00:45:02It's the big box of Christmas prop corn
00:45:06Now, these films could be a proper 100% Christmassy Christmas film
00:45:15Or they could be a classic always on the telly unboxing day afternoon kind of fair
00:45:20The usual rules apply
00:45:22Team captains are going to use all the props they can to get their teammates to guess the film
00:45:27You can say a line from the film
00:45:30But not if it contains the title of the film
00:45:33John's team, you're up first
00:45:35Okay
00:45:37We've got this
00:45:38You've got until the jingle bells to guess as many films as you can team

00:46:31Girl von Luger is a sworn duty of all officers to escape

00:47:21Okay, Shappie, it's your team's turn

00:47:27Starting now
00:47:29Um, hang on
00:47:31Oh, I'm

00:48:54I've never seen it
00:48:55I'll be honest with you
00:48:56They're cute little things
00:48:58And if you put water on them
00:48:59They're grown
00:48:59They've seen the film
00:49:00You mustn't feed them after midnight
00:49:03Oh the gremlin

00:49:23You deserve it
00:49:24I mean if you've not seen
00:49:28You've not seen
00:49:29I mean that's the thing
00:49:30All right
00:49:31Love Actually
00:49:33It was the one with the signs
00:49:34Oh
00:49:35And then the other one
00:49:37Was handsome Jude Law
00:49:38In The Holiday
00:49:40Being Mr. Matt
00:49:41And I actually
00:49:41I love that film
00:49:42Not that much though
00:49:43Biggie
00:49:43No
00:49:44No
00:49:44Exactly
00:49:44At the end of that round
00:49:47John's team
00:49:48You got seven
00:49:49In Shaffi's team
00:49:50You got six
00:49:51Oh
00:49:51Really
00:49:52It's nearly time for the break
00:49:56So let's pull a cracker
00:49:58John
00:49:58Have you got one this time
00:49:59No you're not pulling me
00:50:00John
00:50:01Oh
00:50:01Oh
00:50:01Why would I?
00:50:05I'm a gentleman
00:50:05Are you ready?
00:50:08Yeah
00:50:09Go
00:50:09Right here we go
00:50:12I love this one
00:50:15What happens when you cross a snowman
00:50:18With a vampire
00:50:20Well we'll find out the punchline after the break
00:50:23Welcome back
00:50:38Before the break we pulled a cracker
00:50:40And asked what happens when you cross a snowman with a vampire
00:50:44Go on Debs give us a punchline
00:50:45And the answer is frostbite
00:50:48You get frostbite
00:50:50Hysterical
00:50:52Guess what causes the biggest arguments at Christmas
00:50:56No
00:50:57Not to eat the last man's pie
00:50:59It's what to watch on the telly
00:51:01Nothing gets us in the Christmas spirit quite like a soap special
00:51:04So let's play the exceedingly festive sounding
00:51:08Why is this person crying?
00:51:11This game's for you John Seaman
00:51:20All you have to do is tell me why a particular soap character
00:51:24Is horrifically miserable in the selected clip
00:51:27First up
00:51:28Why is an anguished Arthur Fowler sobbing into his dressing gown in EastEnders on Christmas Day 1986?
00:51:36Oh he's not in a good way is he?
00:51:37But why?
00:51:38I'll tell you why
00:51:38It's just pre-breakdown this
00:51:39He stole the Christmas club money
00:51:42Right
00:51:42And he just couldn't believe what he's done
00:51:44It led to him digging his own grave on the allotment
00:51:46You are bang on Thompson
00:51:48Thank you
00:51:49Yes
00:51:52Arthur Fowler is crying because he stole the Walford residence Christmas club money to pay for his daughter Michelle's wedding
00:51:58Then faked a burglary to explain the missing money
00:52:02Before confessing to the police
00:52:04Getting arrested
00:52:05Falling into depression
00:52:07Then smashing up his living room
00:52:09In a violent Christmas rage
00:52:11Like you do
00:52:12That was genuinely a properly powerful performance to be fair
00:52:41But come on guys
00:52:42It's Christmas
00:52:42And by the way
00:52:43This was the second EastEnders of the day
00:52:46We'd already had Den serving Angie with the divorce papers
00:52:50I don't know how we coped
00:52:52I mean double duff duff
00:52:53Next one
00:52:56Why is a desperate and tearful Deirdre Barlow sobbing behind those distinctly 80s glasses
00:53:02In the 1988 Corrie special
00:53:04And it's not because she's found out that spec savers don't have a returns policy
00:53:08Did Ken find out that she was having an affair with Mike?
00:53:14I don't know if that was at Christmas though
00:53:16But it feels like it could be right
00:53:17Is that your answer?
00:53:18Or did Tracy finally come down from the bedroom?
00:53:21Yeah and stop listening to her tapes
00:53:23Shall we go for the Mike one?
00:53:26Mike Baldwin
00:53:26Let's go with that
00:53:27No completely wrong
00:53:28She's being held hostage in a towel block by a desperate man
00:53:32Who's one of her constituents
00:53:33Whose wife had just walked out on him
00:53:35When Deirdre took some toys round for the kids
00:53:37He told her he wasn't going to spend Christmas alone
00:53:40And barricade them into the flat
00:53:42Here's our feisty Deirdre
00:53:44Giving it her all
00:53:45In a physically demanding festive performance
00:53:47I have had just about all I can take off you
00:53:50And if you want to stop me
00:53:52You'll have to kill me
00:53:53What are you doing?
00:53:56I'm going to throw your TV set through the window
00:53:58Yes
00:53:58To be fair
00:54:10Corrie's not usually quite as depressing at Christmas
00:54:12As some other soaps
00:54:13Although let's not forget this tragic and sadly predictable
00:54:161997 car accident
00:54:19Dad, a turkey's for life
00:54:21Not just for Christmas
00:54:22Oh surely you're not still going to go after Pooh a little thing
00:54:25Listen Chuck
00:54:26When Les Batterby's on the scent
00:54:28There's no stopping him
00:54:30I'm coming with you
00:54:35What do you think you're doing?
00:54:40You've got to find Teresa
00:54:40Right
00:54:41Well if we find this thing
00:54:42You leave it to me
00:54:43Do you want to stand?
00:54:46Oh no
00:54:46Oh no
00:54:48Oh no
00:54:49Oh no
00:54:50Did they actually hit the bird?
00:54:54No
00:54:54It was a head thing
00:54:55Special effects
00:54:57Good special effects
00:54:59Right
00:55:00Time for something altogether more cheerful
00:55:02Shappie's team
00:55:03This game's for you
00:55:04And it's called
00:55:06Which Christmas sitcom has gone wrong?
00:55:11I'm going to read you down to Christmas sitcom storyline
00:55:17And all you have to do is tell me which sitcom has gone wrong
00:55:20Here's your first one
00:55:22A van delivers a huge Christmas order to a customer
00:55:26Including a nine foot Christmas tree
00:55:28However, the tree only measures eight foot five and three quarter inches
00:55:32So the customer returns the entire order
00:55:35And ends up with no food, drink or decorations
00:55:38So had to spend Christmas with the next door neighbours
00:55:41Which sitcom am I talking about?
00:55:43Only Fools and Horses
00:55:45No, we'd never do that
00:55:47He's more
00:55:47No, it'd be someone
00:55:50It was a bird
00:55:51They live in Surbiton
00:55:53Oh, it'd only be Keith
00:55:56The Good Life
00:55:58Well done
00:55:59Yes, it was The Good Life
00:56:00Let's have a look at a very dowel Margot
00:56:02Steadfastly refusing to get into the spirit of Tom and Barbara's charmingly homemade Christmas
00:56:08One, two, three
00:56:10Crack
00:56:11Not bag
00:56:14No, I see crack as a more pertinent word
00:56:17It is after all the stem of cracker, isn't it?
00:56:20You can't argue with that
00:56:22Come on, what have we all got?
00:56:23Well, I seem to have the inside of a roll of lavatory bags
00:56:26Inside that?
00:56:30Oh, yes
00:56:31What's your prefer?
00:56:32Wellington or Nelson?
00:56:34Come on, Margot, get your hat on
00:56:36Or a bonus point
00:56:39Why doesn't Margot want to wear her paper hat?
00:56:42It's the wrong newspaper
00:56:43Well done, yes
00:56:44Let's have a look at her indignant and classically Margot response
00:56:50Come on, Margot, get your hat on
00:56:52This is the Daily Mirror
00:56:53I am terribly sorry, Margot
00:56:58Please have the telegraph
00:57:00Next one
00:57:03The main character, an adult man
00:57:06Is cast as an angel in a nativity play
00:57:09The counterweighting system of the theatrical wires he's attached to fails
00:57:14And he's jerked upwards, smashing through the church roof
00:57:17Where he had to be rescued by a helicopter
00:57:21So what sitcom am I talking about?
00:57:23Some mothers do have them
00:57:25Definitely
00:57:25Some mothers do have them
00:57:26It was Some Mothers Do Have Them
00:57:28Let's have a look at this masterpiece of perfectly timed silliness
00:57:32An extraordinary physical comedy
00:57:34One more bag should do it
00:57:36What's that?
00:57:48Stop looking up there
00:57:50The dirty shepherds
00:57:53Is born innocent
00:57:57Well that's ruined my Christmas
00:58:04Who is great?
00:58:08Not that big one
00:58:09In that round
00:58:26Jon's team you've scored one point
00:58:28And Shappie's team you've scored three
00:58:30It's nearly time for the break
00:58:36So let's pull a cracker
00:58:37Shappie, have you got another one?
00:58:38I've got another one
00:58:39Shall we?
00:58:39Yep
00:58:40Read us a joke please
00:58:42Which reindeer has the worst manners?
00:58:46We'll find out the punchline after the break
00:58:49Welcome back
00:59:04Before the break we pulled a cracker and asked
00:59:06Which reindeer has the worst manners?
00:59:09Go on Shappie
00:59:10Give us a punchline
00:59:11It was Rude Dolph
00:59:14See?
00:59:15Oh that's good isn't it?
00:59:17Very good
00:59:18Excellent
00:59:19This final round is about those festive TV moments
00:59:23And special episodes that are seared into the nation's collective consciousness
00:59:27Like the lyrics to do they know it's Christmas
00:59:29Shappie's team you're up first
00:59:31The lovely Paul Daniels delivered 15 consecutive Christmas specials
00:59:36From the late 1970s to the early 1980s
00:59:39But what did he make vanish in 1984?
00:59:43Was it Debbie McGee?
00:59:46Well not very well because you're here tonight
00:59:48No
00:59:48It's a big Ben
00:59:50It would be something big
00:59:52Okay I'm going to have to hurry you
00:59:54An elephant
00:59:54No it was a million pounds
00:59:57Oh
00:59:57Yes and here he is being ably assisted on that illusion
01:00:01But is that
01:00:02Robert Maxwell
01:00:02It's not Debbie McGee
01:00:03He made more than a million disappear
01:00:05We've got to ask Debbie about this haven't we
01:00:08The brief that Paul got
01:00:10You know from the
01:00:11We had a team
01:00:12And one of them came up with making a million pounds vanish
01:00:16So the BBC agreed
01:00:17And Paul I can remember
01:00:19On the way home when it was all
01:00:21They were designing it
01:00:22He said
01:00:22Yeah but they haven't said I have to bring it back
01:00:25Okay
01:00:28John's team
01:00:29Who hosted the Christmas special of the Generation Game
01:00:32For the first time in 1978?
01:00:34Who was before
01:00:35Was there anyone before Bruce?
01:00:37Before Bruce no
01:00:38But maybe 78
01:00:39It might have been Larry
01:00:40Oh Larry
01:00:41Brucey
01:00:42Larry
01:00:43And then it was Jim Davidson
01:00:44Have you hurry in?
01:00:45Alright I'll go for Larry
01:00:46Larry Grayson
01:00:47You're right John
01:00:47It was Larry Grayson
01:00:49He'd taken over from Bruce Forsyth
01:00:51Earlier that year
01:00:52Whose legendary elaborate Christmas entertainment spectaculars
01:00:56Involved the star
01:00:57Playing as many as 37 different characters himself
01:01:01Biggins you'll get this
01:01:03Is it you?
01:01:04No
01:01:04You'd remember the word it's 37 characters
01:01:06I get it at the Woolworths advert
01:01:08But you'd remember 37 characters
01:01:09Give me a clue
01:01:12Gottish
01:01:14Is it Ross Abbott?
01:01:15Oh no no no no
01:01:17It's
01:01:18I tell you it is
01:01:19It's
01:01:19Stanley Baxter
01:01:21Yes it was Stanley Baxter
01:01:24Well done John
01:01:25Next one
01:01:28Whose circus was a Christmas TV tradition
01:01:30Shown on both BBC and ITV
01:01:33Until the final televised performance in 1983
01:01:36Billy Smarts
01:01:38Well done Debbie
01:01:38Yes it was Billy Smarts Circus
01:01:40It was first broadcast live by the BBC in 1947

01:01:49Was first show on Christmas Day 1978
01:01:52Nelf
01:01:53Would it be Nelf
01:01:54Oh no that was much
01:01:55No that was much
01:01:56Were the hills alive in it?
01:01:58They might have been
01:01:58Oh
01:01:59Sound of Music
01:02:00Sound of Music
01:02:00Yes it was
01:02:03Well done
01:02:03The Sound of Music
01:02:04The BBC won a bidding war with ITV
01:02:07For the rights to show the film
01:02:09Nine times over a ten year period
01:02:11It was a massive bidding war
01:02:12Now what was unusual about the Christmas special
01:02:15Of Chaotic Kids show
01:02:17Run Around in 1980
01:02:19Well it was hosted by Mike Reed
01:02:21Run Around Now
01:02:22Mike Reed from EastEnders
01:02:24That was always that
01:02:25Yeah
01:02:25What was special about that particular one?
01:02:28Hmm
01:02:29Yeah I mean I don't honestly I can't see you getting it
01:02:31I don't know I've been fascinated to know
01:02:33It was on ice
01:02:34Oh
01:02:35Bold
01:02:36We should have guessed that
01:02:38Let's have a look at possibly one of the most ambitious Christmas special ever attempted on television

01:03:25Tensely clinging onto a fiberglass polar bear for dear life
01:03:29Right it's time for the final game
01:03:33There's a prezzy and some wrapping paper on everybody's desk
