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,
00:01:31and a great friend of mine, his mum sit opposite me and she wanted to go to the Lirt
00:01:35at one particular point, and she got up and she was wearing a lovely paper hat
00:01:38and she put her head forward and hit a candle, and the whole of her head went up in flames!
00:01:43La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
00:01:47Now, Leslie, what's going on here, love?
00:01:49Biggins, that's you and me.
00:01:51That's when we were doing tipping points.
00:01:54Do you remember?
00:01:55I do.
00:01:56You've got a Christmas tradition, haven't you?
00:01:57Oh, I have.
00:01:58I have.
00:01:59I have.
00:01:59I love doing my own Christmas cards.
00:02:02And I've been doing it for about 25 years.
00:02:04So every year, I find a picture that it might be me on a camel.
00:02:08It might be me outside number 10.
00:02:10It might be me with...
00:02:12I did one with my head upside down in a bucket.
00:02:16I've just...
00:02:16Everything.
00:02:17Now.
00:02:19Just a quiet night at home with Leslie and a few friends.
00:02:24Chappie, what are your Christmas memories?
00:02:26Well, my mum and dad aren't originally from this country.
00:02:31And they did not understand Christmas trees.
00:02:34My mum decorated a yucca plant that we had.
00:02:38And I was like, that's not it.
00:02:39She's like, well, you want to bring a tree in from the garden?
00:02:41I was like, no, you go to the garden centre and you get a tree.
00:02:45And 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?
00:02:50It'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.
00:03:00This was our Christmases.
00:03:01My mum and dad would make an effort by taking us to a friend's house, but nothing much would
00:03:06be going on.
00:03:06And I would just sit there, a bored 15-year-old, because I spent most of Christmas Day just
00:03:11reading on my own, really bored, with no presents.
00:03:14Was she literally your Christmas Day?
00:03:15Literally.
00:03:16I was there all day.
00:03:17No Santa, nothing.
00:03:19John, here's you.
00:03:20Oh, Lord.
00:03:22So what did the Thompsons get up to at Christmas, love?
00:03:27We'd get together.
00:03:28We're a very small family, but I used to love Boxing Day, weren't some bananas, and it
00:03:32was always the same.
00:03:32Bingo.
00:03:33Right.
00:03:34Beetle Drive, and indoor fireworks.
00:03:37That was brilliant.
00:03:38I loved it.
00:03:38I loved 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, but Christmas morning, we have a big tradition.
00:03:47What's that?
00:03:48Whiskey Porridge.
00:03:49Anyone have whiskey porridge?
00:03:51Why have I never done that?
00:03:52Yeah.
00:03:52Years ago.
00:03:53What happens?
00:03:54Well, years ago, Paul and I were staying in the Lake District, and it was at one of those
00:03:58hotels that you had to eat what they gave you.
00:04:00There wasn't a choice.
00:04:01Yeah.
00:04:01And breakfast was whiskey porridge, and we said, right, we're going to steal that for Christmas
00:04:05morning.
00:04:06I think we'll be doing that.
00:04:08Even, my darling, you're named after my favourite part of Christmas, Bailey's.
00:04:12Any festive traditions in your family?
00:04:15Yes.
00:04:15When we were kids, my cousin always made us dress up as elves with, like, a bin bag,
00:04:20and we had to go around and give out the presents.
00:04:21Oh, there he is.
00:04:23Look.
00:04:23That is so cute.
00:04:24I just love that we've gone to that much effort, but then, with a sack, we've just gone,
00:04:29get a bag.
00:04:29Do you know what?
00:04:30We've done the costumes.
00:04:30We'll just do a bin bag.
00:04:31Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:33Anyway, enough of that.
00:04:35This is supposed to be a quiz, so I'm about to give you some questions, and I would like
00:04:39to receive some correct answers.
00:04:41Shappie, 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, um, coconut.
00:04:50Which one is the blue one?
00:04:52Oh.
00:04:53As I'm dressed as a Quality Streets, I can confidently say coconut.
00:04:57Shappie, well done.
00:04:58Look at you.
00:04:58Don't you.
00:04:59Now I sweep.
00:05:00The coconut one, a.k.a. the one that goes straight in the bin.
00:05:05Now, John's team.
00:05:06What item has been made annually on TV for more than 60 years and requires galvanised
00:05:13wire, pliers, four peppercorn canister lids, fireproof tinsel, four candles, and four coat
00:05:20hangers?
00:05:21Go on.
00:05:21It's the Blue Peter Advent Crown.
00:05:24Yes!
00:05:25Well done.
00:05:25Well done.
00:05:27It was the play, my child, and since it.
00:05:29Shappie's team.
00:05:30What has this building got to do with Christmas?
00:05:34Oh, Home Alone.
00:05:35Home Alone, yes.
00:05:35Yes.
00:05:36It's the house from Home Alone, and in case you want to visit it, it's on Lincoln Avenue
00:05:41in Chicago, Illinois, and you'll spot it because it's the one with a massive fence outside that
00:05:46says, please, for the love of God, leave us alone.
00:05:50This is 1979.
00:05:51What has been released annually in time for Christmas and has sold more than two million
00:05:55copies in total and occasionally contains topless photos?
00:06:00Is it a calendar?
00:06:00Calendar.
00:06:00Calendar.
00:06:01Calendar.
00:06:02Which one?
00:06:02Oh.
00:06:04Chippendales.
00:06:05Not a bad answer.
00:06:06That's not a bad answer, is it?
00:06:07Not a bad answer.
00:06:07Pirelli tyres.
00:06:09Oh.
00:06:09They used to be famous.
00:06:10Going to have to hurry you.
00:06:11Pirelli.
00:06:11Tyres.
00:06:12Nearly.
00:06:13Cliff Richard.
00:06:14Oh.
00:06:15Oh, how amazing is that?
00:06:17I thought you were going to say a different kind of tyre then.
00:06:19Yeah.
00:06:21Can we have half a point for calendar?
00:06:23Yes.
00:06:24OK.
00:06:24Which shopping guide, first published in 1973, was at one time the most widely printed publication
00:06:30in Europe?
00:06:31Shopping Guide.
00:06:32Shopping Guide.
00:06:33Little Woods.
00:06:34Woolworths, Little Woods.
00:06:35Err, Argos?
00:06:36Argos, yes.
00:06:37Argos, yes.
00:06:38Yes, it was the Argos catalogue.
00:06:39Yay.
00:06:40Who used to pore over the Argos catalogue when you...
00:06:42Oh, we all do.
00:06:43I used to circle it all, mate.
00:06:45Yes.
00:06:46I used to circle it all.
00:06:46I used to circle it all.
00:06:47It wasn't really Christmas if you didn't circle every single toy in the Argos catalogue,
00:06:50only for your parents to just laugh in your face.
00:06:52OK.
00:06:53OK.
00:06:54According to the rarely seen introduction to the film, this is really unusual, this.
00:06:58Which music legend did the little boy in the snowman apparently grow up to be?
00:07:03I didn't know this.
00:07:04Don't you become Alan Jones?
00:07:05Don't you become Alan Jones?
00:07:06I'll get me Jones.
00:07:07No, that's who sings on it.
00:07:08I just think the clue is in the word rarely seen, and I haven't seen it.
00:07:13Has anybody?
00:07:14Has anyone?
00:07:15Oh, one person knows it.
00:07:17Bowie.
00:07:18Bowie.
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 rocking a Christmas jumper, charmingly weaving a nostalgic
00:07:30tale from his old attic.
00:07:35This attic's full of memories for me.
00:07:37We spent all our summers by the seaside, and in winter, at home, by the fire.
00:07:45We had a glass on the window, and snow, snowballs, and making snowmen.
00:07:52One winter, I made a really big snowman.
00:07:56He got this scarf for me.
00:07:59You see, he was a real snowman.
00:08:08Unbelievable.
00:08:09Now, I've got to stop here, because I've just heard that young Leslie Joseph here worked
00:08:14with him.
00:08:15He was the first person I ever worked with.
00:08:17When I left drama school in 1967, my agent there, Michael Summonson, said, would you like
00:08:21to do a television?
00:08:22Which I'd 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, and I worked with him.
00:08:31He always used to say, come 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.
00:08:36And I always said, yes, I will, and I never did, and it was David Bowie.
00:08:39He was the first person I ever worked with.
00:08:41Leslie!
00:08:42That's unbelievable.
00:08:43The first person I ever worked with was Kerry Katona.
00:08:46LAUGHTER
00:08:47OK, teams.
00:08:50Time for the Christmassy mystery box.
00:08:57John!
00:08:58Johnny's been!
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, and without looking, you've got to describe them to your mates,
00:09:10and you'll get a point for each one they correctly identify.
00:09:13Now, for our viewers at home, here's what's in the box.
00:09:16If you don't want to know, look away now.
00:09:22OK, John.
00:09:23Now, I'm getting it.
00:09:24I've got a jar, a glass jar, with a teaspoon in it.
00:09:28So, I'm guessing the number one condiment on the Christmas table...
00:09:33Cranberry salt.
00:09:35Right.
00:09:36Well done.
00:09:37Oh, right, OK.
00:09:38I was thinking, John.
00:09:40Right.
00:09:41It's a popular confectionery in pastry.
00:09:48Oh, mince pie.
00:09:49Correct.
00:09:50Mince pie.
00:09:51Well done.
00:09:52Well, I don't know.
00:09:53I'm saying correct.
00:09:54My fingers know.
00:09:56Right, that's that.
00:09:58I've done that one.
00:09:59Oh, hello.
00:10:00Oh, right.
00:10:01So, it's what your mum and dad said.
00:10:03They only got one of these in their stocking and a few nuts.
00:10:06And a few nuts.
00:10:08Clementine.
00:10:09Yes.
00:10:10Yes.
00:10:11Yes.
00:10:12Well done.
00:10:13I'm surprised that everyone's mum and dad has done that.
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:17Three points there.
00:10:18It was a satsuma.
00:10:19Minced pie and some cranberry sauce.
00:10:21OK, Shappy.
00:10:22The Christmassy mystery box has travelled on Santa's sleigh to your desk.
00:10:26For our viewers at home, here's what's in the box.
00:10:31OK, Shappy.
00:10:33Have a feel and see if you can describe your team, what the three items are.
00:10:37Remember, they're all Christmassy foods.
00:10:38All right, there's a bowl of something.
00:10:40OK.
00:10:41Ah, now, everyone pretends that they like these, but they're a bit like marmites.
00:10:46Sprouts?
00:10:47No, I mean, they're literally tastes of marmite.
00:10:49They're like, they 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.
00:10:57Twitties.
00:10:58That's it.
00:10:59Well done, yes.
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 in a bowl.
00:11:07Oh, I'm going to put my hand in it.
00:11:08It's going to be squashy.
00:11:09Ooh.
00:11:10That's very creamy at the top and then a bit...
00:11:12Is it like trifle?
00:11:13I think that is...
00:11:14I mean, if that's not trifle, I don't want to describe it.
00:11:16Yes.
00:11:17Is it trifle?
00:11:18Well done.
00:11:19Okay.
00:11:20Ooh.
00:11:21Okay.
00:11:22Right.
00:11:23Oh, it's another bowl.
00:11:24I'm really scared to put my hand in it.
00:11:26Okay.
00:11:27Ooh.
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've put my thumb in it.
00:11:38I've put my thumb in this warm, mushy 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.
00:11:48It's a stuffing ball.
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, it was a trifle.
00:11:54Stuffing balls and some twiglets.
00:11:56Yes.
00:11:57Okay.
00:11:58Who wants to see how twiglets are made?
00:11:59Yes.
00:12:00Yes, me too.
00:12:01But instead, let's watch some illuminating footage of Mr Bean using his trademark creative
00:12:06thinking to make some twiglet alternatives.
00:12:09All right.
00:12:10I'd like to see you around the hood.
00:12:12Come on.
00:12:15You're right.
00:12:17There's some things.

00:12:37Food.
00:12:39At the end of that round John's team you've scored four and a half and Shappie's team you scored six
00:12:48It's nearly time for the break, but I'm feeling festive so let's pull a cracker
00:12:53Shappie and biggings. Do you want to start us off? Yes indeed right behind you. Yes
00:13:08As if by magic
00:13:11What do you call Santa if he forgets to wear underwear? Oh, well, we'll find out the punchline after the break
00:13:20Welcome back before the break we pull the cracker and asked what do you call Santa if he forgets to wear underwear gone begins
00:13:42Give us a punchline st. Nicker less
00:13:50This is a quiz about Christmas and how do you know Christmas is coming the first drop of snow the sound of Mariah Carey's annual warble
00:13:59No, the adverts
00:14:01We're going to start this round with some quick-fire questions about Christmas adverts John's team you're up first
00:14:07Which hugely important Christmas store was advertised by a cartoon giraffe called Jeffrey? I know it's Toys R Us
00:14:13It is. It is Toys R Us. It is. It is Toys R Us. It is. It is. It is. My dad once queued at Toys R Us from three o'clock in the morning to get me one of those Power Ranger Morphers
00:14:23My mum made him save up all year and then he had to queue
00:14:263 a.m. Oh, that's so sweet. Did he get it? And he got it. Oh
00:14:29Shappie's team
00:14:30Which product has been advertised for 30 years by a convoy of HGVs? Oh
00:14:36Oh, oh, Coca-Cola. Yes. Well done. I would have accepted Eddie Stobart
00:14:42John's team what is going on here in this
00:14:46Unexpectedly erotic close-up shot from a Christmas ad
00:14:49Denim aftershave for men went for the man who doesn't have to try too hard
00:15:00Steamy than a Christmas pod. Let's have a look
00:15:03Steamy thought it was his crutch. I thought it was his crutch. She's filthy. Honestly. I thought it was a button fly
00:15:25Right, what was this boy adorably using to add height so he could share a Christmas kiss in this clever Christmas
00:15:32Oh, I know it was either an Argos catalogue or a phone book
00:15:39Yellow pages. Yes, he used a coffee of the yellow pages, which is coincidentally also the last time anyone used one
00:15:48Okay, what do eighties hits electric dreams sweet child of mine and please please please let me get what I want have in common
00:15:56Electric dreams sweet child of mine and please please please let me get what I want
00:16:00They're all songs for a brand selling something. It's not fair John. Well done
00:16:06Okay, I'm gonna have to hurry you Dixons

00:18:46Yes
00:18:47Oh is it Geoff Capes?
00:18:48Well done, well done
00:18:49Yes
00:18:50The answer was Olympic shot putter and two time world's strongest man Geoff Capes
00:18:56Fun fact, did you know he was also an award winning budgie breeder
00:19:00Yep

00:19:24But which effervescent sports star is behind biggins?
00:19:28Lesley
00:19:29Who did you do Dick Whittington for?
00:19:31Effervescent
00:19:33Effervescent
00:19:34Proper effervescent
00:19:35Like their effervescent
00:19:36He might have just sprinted on stage
00:19:40Oh
00:19:41Chris Akabusi
00:19:42Yes Debbie
00:19:43It was Olympic athlete and record breaking presenter Chris Akabusi
00:19:51Lesley was the only girl
00:19:52He was absolutely gorgeous
00:19:53Fell in love with him
00:19:54Was he?
00:19:55He was divine
00:19:56And that was in the days when you had a girl playing a man
00:19:58Yes
00:19:59You don't have that now
00:20:00Yeah
00:20:01When Rosemary Ford who was absolutely brilliant played Dick Whittington
00:20:03And they would slap their thighs and say 12 o'clock and still no sign of dick
00:20:07That's absolutely right
00:20:08I'm talking about you Steven
00:20:13Yes
00:20:14About a rumour you're dying to be in panto
00:20:16I really want to be buttons
00:20:18But no one's letting me
00:20:19I want to be like 12 o'clock and still no dick
00:20:22Biggins you are the queen of panto can you sort it out?
00:20:25Yeah, well we talked about it in the green room
00:20:27I've put him in touch with our producers
00:20:29Oh God
00:20:30Two years time he'll be in pantomime
00:20:32Thank you
00:20:33Now you're a panto pro
00:20:34Can you remember your first one?
00:20:35You know we've all got a hundred panto stories
00:20:37But in my early years of panto I did panto in Bradford and we lived in Surrey which is like a five-hour drive
00:20:43My dad was so amazing because he was desperate the family got home for Christmas
00:20:48And I got a lift as far as Watford Gap
00:20:51Yeah
00:20:52But it was snowing and so my dad had got there at like you know one o'clock in the morning to meet me
00:20:58But we got there at something like four in the morning because we were stuck in the snow in the north
00:21:03And then we had to get up at five o'clock in the morning to just open Christmas presents and leave at like 630
00:21:12And he drove me all the way back up to Bradford had a cup of tea and then drove back down to the family on Boxing Day
00:21:19Yeah, I mean that's so sweet. Yeah, so I've not worth it was there
00:21:25It was definitely worse. Oh, that's all right, then shaffi's team very classy this one from 1988
00:21:32Barbara Windsor Nicholas Parsons singer Julie Rogers, but who's behind biggins? I should probably tell you that he's a puppet. Oh
00:21:42So pop it a puppet, but it's a puppet. Oh, oh, I know Brian Connolly
00:21:47No, he's not a puppet
00:21:49He's not a human being, I think
00:21:51Yeah, but it's an actual puppet behind your head. Is it it's not sootie Richard Caddell? No, not sootie
00:21:58Right, okay. You started out on breakfast TV. Oh, is it rolling rat? Oh, thank God for that
00:22:04Yes, it was rolling rat
00:22:06Okay, John's team one more for you. Okay, this one's from the Bristol Hippodrome in
00:22:121992
00:22:14Emily Simmons is advertised as her character name Marilyn for a moment away a bit rude and
00:22:20There's also John Inman and Billy Pierce, but which four characters from a kids TV show are behind biggins?
00:22:26Tell you to business for all characters from a kids TV show
00:22:30Um, sooty sweep and tomorrow so
00:22:33No, it wouldn't I think it's got to be the telly to be so a bit after I any clue 93

00:22:47Bungle
00:22:48What was it one current?
00:22:49Wasn't it Jeff? No. Yeah, free Jeffrey Jeffrey Jeffrey. Yeah, but he's not. Oh, yeah, yeah, I was thinking he's not a puppet
00:22:59Jeffrey Hayes
00:23:01Sorry, you you've been given both of these
00:23:04Bungle, it's campus 10
00:23:06Bungle, it's campus 10

00:23:50You're drawing us towards under the Rippon. Yeah, but it's wrong. No. Yeah, because I'm gonna see what you think I see
00:23:56Yeah, I seem to remember. This is Dame Shirley

00:30:40lad i'd have a sprout mine was lovely i've got out now spat out one if you want it
00:30:48right 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
00:30:58or nigella convincing us we can look sexy while peeling spuds but some go the extra mile and provide
00:31:04us with something a bit surprising it's time for some extra helpings
00:31:14shaffi's team this game to you take a look at this when you buy your christmas turkey i wonder
00:31:20if you do as i do and buy one just a little on the large size there's so many delicious things can
00:31:27be made from leftovers but also it is more economical to buy a large turkey you get more meat
00:31:34to bone oh wow we all like more meat to bone that was the very natural hosting of dorothy slate home
00:31:42giving us some kind and practical advice in making use of leftover turkey in a 1971 edition of itv's
00:31:50long-running daytime cookery show farmhouse kitchen but what extra thing does dorothy do
00:31:56in this christmas episode does she a cough repeatedly b explain the best way to clean up various different
00:32:05kinds of spillage or c offer some cheap alternatives to traditional ingredients
00:32:11um 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 alternatives yes i yes right cheap alternatives alternatives
00:32:24absolutely wrong okay the answer is a oh oh coughs repeatedly oh it's very subtle so you might not
00:32:32notice but here are some examples can be prepared quite a little in advance as you will see
00:32:39they're delicious for a party or just a snack over the fire excuse me a warm dish
00:32:56excuse me and now all i have to do is to tell you about our recipe leaflet oh my goodness
00:33:04why bother stopping for a retake just crack on my wasting tape no one will know who are you in later
00:33:11years farmhouse kitchen was hosted by grace mulligan and in the 1986 christmas show she welcomed guest
00:33:17chef jocelyn dimblebee who roasts a goose for a bonus point what do you think jocelyn suggests you do
00:33:24with leftover goose fat and dripping um um give it the dog no spread it on toast um no don't perhaps
00:33:33she uses some sort of thing to put on your face skin care i'm going to give you that here's jocelyn
00:33:38daintily fondling some goose fat and politely offering some old-fashioned medical advice
00:33:44and uh the first job you have to do is to take out the fat there's lots of fat inside it and you
00:33:51take out all the excess fat um you may think it's a messy job but in fact just think what good it's doing
00:33:56to your skin your hands a wonderful hand cream what i normally do is i boil down the fat
00:34:01um and keep a lot of dripping because it's very valuable i shouldn't shouldn't throw it away
00:34:07because it does make the best roast potatoes ever or you can even just rub it on your chest when you
00:34:12have a cold apparently it works wonders oh hand cream rub it on your chest laggy ceilings with it
00:34:21everything next one and food and drinks jilly gulden was known for a creative description of what wine
00:34:27tastes like i mean it tastes like wine done it to me but not to jilly no in a christmas drink segment
00:34:34what unnecessarily weird words does she use to describe some ruby port is it a a winter's afternoon
00:34:42in east sussex b scattered potpourri or c wisteria up an old cottage oh it has to be
00:34:50wisteria up an old cottage i know the feeling
00:34:58that's christmas in begging's house let's take a look at an enthusiastic chili meticulously describing
00:35:06the taste of port and i'm looking at the most junior insignificant sort of port if you like that
00:35:12you can get it's a ruby port from portugal but is it a wow 5.99 but it packs all sorts of gorgeousness
00:35:20in do you know what that smells like on a summer's day when you've just had a little rain shower but
00:35:26it's still warm enough to bring out this lovely scent to the flowers wisteria up an old cottage that's what
00:35:30it is
00:35:33it's just made up on the weekend and you know a puddle in bournemouth i mean i one of my favorites

00:36:06fails
00:36:11first one have a look at this anyway why don't you do what i do hey you know just put the dinner in
00:36:17your mouth and think of england right here we go
00:36:29not bad not bad going to go slightly underdone maybe yeah that was the first ever only films and
00:36:38horses christmas special in 1981 and dell and rodney are putting on a brave face as they took into the
00:36:44very unappetizing looking turkey that granddad has prepared around their cramped but festive table
00:36:50now it seems to be going better than they feared but then what goes wrong with this christmas dinner
00:36:56i know this one you know this granddad left the giblets in the turkey
00:37:03here's dell and rodney going from disbelief to horror to blind panic

00:37:15girl downstairs for a cat there weren't any giblets in it jail boy it was really clean said so on the
00:37:22box i know it was ready clean granddad what they do is they take the giblets out put it in a plastic

00:38:39at some typically grizzly christmas carnage from richie and eddie

00:45:00ever see the last 40 minutes of said film.
00:45:03It's the big box of Christmas prop corn.
00:45:07Now, these films could be a proper 100% Christmassy Christmas film,
00:45:15or they could be a classic always-on-the-tele-unboxing-day-afternoon kind of fare.
00:45:20The usual rules apply.
00:45:22Team captains are going to use all the props they can
00:45:25to get their team-mates to guess the film.

00:49:38in the holiday being mr and i actually i love that film not that much though biggie at the end of
00:49:46that round john's team you got seven in shaffi's team you got six it's nearly time for the break
00:49:56so let's pull a cracker john have you got one this time no you're not pulling me john
00:50:00oh right here we go i love this one what happens when you cross a snowman
00:50:18with a vampire well we'll find out the punchline after the break
00:50:23welcome back before the break we pulled a cracker and asked
00:50:40what happens when you cross a snowman with a vampire go on devs give us a punchline
00:50:45and the answer is frostbite you get frostbite hysterical guess what causes the biggest arguments
00:50:56at christmas no not to wait the last minute's pie it's what to watch on the telly nothing gets us
00:51:02in the christmas spirit quite like a soap special so let's play the exceedingly festive sounding
00:51:08why is this person crying
00:51:11this game's for you john seem and all you have to do is tell me why a particular soap character
00:51:24is horrifically miserable in the selected clip first up why is an anguished arthur fowler sobbing
00:51:31into his dressing gown in eastenders on christmas day 1986
00:51:35oh he's not in a good way is he but why i'll tell you why it's just pre-breakdown this
00:51:39he stole the christmas club money right and he just couldn't believe what he's done
00:51:44it led to him digging his own grave on the allotment you are bang on thompson thank you
00:51:49yes arthur fowler is crying because he stole the walford residence christmas club money to pay for
00:51:56his daughter michelle's wedding then faked a burglary to explain the missing money before
00:52:03confessing to the police getting arrested falling into depression then smashing up his living room
00:52:09in a violent christmas rage like you do
00:52:12that was genuinely a properly powerful performance to be fair but come on guys is chris
00:52:42christmas and by the way this was the second eastenders of the day we'd already had den serving
00:52:48angie with the divorce papers i don't know how we coped i mean double duff duff
00:52:53next one why is a desperate and tearful deirdre barlow sobbing behind those distinctly 80s glasses
00:53:02in the 1988 cori special and it's not because she's found out that spec savers don't have a returns
00:53:08policy did ken find out that she was having an affair with mike i don't know if that was at
00:53:15christmas though but it feels like it could be right is that your answer did tracy finally come
00:53:20down from the bedroom yeah and stop listening to her tapes should we go for the mike one mike baldwin
00:53:26let's go with that no completely wrong she's been held hostage in a towel block by a desperate man
00:53:32who's one of her constituents whose wife had just walked out on him when deirdre took some toys
00:53:37around for the kids he told her he wasn't going to spend christmas alone and barricade them into
00:53:42the flat here's our feisty deirdre giving it her all in a physically demanding festive performance
00:53:47i have just about all i can take off you and if you want to stop me you'll have to kill me
00:53:53what are you doing i'm gonna throw your tv set through the windows
00:53:58yes to be fair cori's not usually quite as depressing at christmas as some other soaps
00:54:13although let's not forget this tragic and sadly predictable 1997 car accident
00:54:19dad a turkey's for life not just for christmas oh surely you're not still gonna go after poo a little
00:54:25thing listen chuck when les batters was on the scent there's no stopping him
00:54:30i'm coming with you
00:54:35what do you think you're doing i've got to find theresa right well if we find this thing
00:54:42you leave it to me do you understand
00:54:44did they actually hit the bird no it was a head thing special effects steve
00:54:58good special effects right time for something altogether more cheerful
00:55:02shappies team this game's for you and it's called which christmas sitcom has gone wrong
00:55:09i'm going to read down to christmas sitcom storyline and all you have to do is tell me
00:55:19which sitcom has gone wrong here's your first one a van delivers a huge christmas order to a customer
00:55:26including a nine foot christmas tree however the tree only measures eight foot five and three
00:55:31quarter inches so the customer returns the entire order and ends up with no food drink or decorations
00:55:38so i had to spend christmas with the next door neighbors which sitcom am i talking about
00:55:43only fools and horses no we'd never do that he's more um no it'd be someone
00:55:50it wasn't okay they live in surbiton oh um uh penelope keith and it is the good life
00:55:57the good life well done yes it was the good life let's have a look at a very down margo
00:56:02steadfastly refusing to get into the spirit of tom and barbara's charmingly homemade christmas
00:56:09one two three crack
00:56:11not bag no i see crack as a more pertinent word it is after all the stem of cracker isn't it
00:56:20you can't argue with that well i seem to have the inside of a roll of lavatory paper
00:56:26inside that oh yes which you prefer willington or nelson
00:56:33come on margo get your hat on
00:56:36for a bonus point why doesn't margo want to wear her paper hat it's the wrong newspaper
00:56:43well done yes let's have a look at her indignant and classically margo response
00:56:50come on margo get your hat on this is the daily miracle
00:56:54i am terribly sorry margo please have the telegraph
00:57:00next one the main character an adult man is cast as an angel in a nativity play
00:57:09the counter-weighting 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
00:57:25it 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
00:57:37stop looking up there

00:58:49welcome back before the break we pulled a cracker and asked which reindeer has the worst manners
00:59:09go on shappie give us a punchline
00:59:11this final round is about those festive tv moments and special episodes that are seared into the nation's collective consciousness like the lyrics to do they know it's christmas
00:59:29shappie's team you're up first the lovely paul daniels delivered 15 consecutive christmas specials from the late 1970s to the early 1980s but what did he make vanish in 1984
