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 Leroy one 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, ha.
00:01:44La, la, 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, 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, it might be me outside number 10,
00:02:10it might be me with, I did one with my head upside down in a, in a bucket.
00:02:15I've just everything.
00:02:16Now!
00:02:17Just 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 originally from this country, and they did not understand Christmas trees.
00:02:33My mum decorated a, an yucca plant that we had, and I was like, that's not it.
00:02:38She was like, well, you want to bring a tree in from the garden?
00:02:41I 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, and 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, I 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, but nothing much would be going on.
00:03:06And I would just sit there, a bored 15-year-old, because I spent most of Christmas Day just reading on my own, really bored.
00:03:12With no presents.
00:03:13That's literally your Christmas Day?
00:03:15Literally, I was there all day. No 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, but I used to love Boxing Day, weren't some bananas, and it was always the same.
00:03:32Bingo.
00:03:33Right.
00:03:34Beetle Drive, and indoor fireworks.
00:03:36That was brilliant.
00:03:37I loved it.
00:03:38Love 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.
00:03:46What's that?
00:03:47Whiskey porridge.
00:03:48Oh.
00:03:49Anyone have whiskey porridge?
00:03:50Why have I never done that?
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 hotels that you had to eat what they gave you.
00:03:59There wasn't a choice.
00:04:00Yeah.
00:04:01And breakfast was whiskey porridge, and 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, Bailey's.
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 with, 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, but then, with a sack, we've just gone, get a bag.
00:04:29Do you know what?
00:04:30We've done 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, and 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, um, coconut.
00:04:49Which one is the blue one?
00:04:51Oh.
00:04:52As I'm dressed as a quality street, I can confidently say coconut.
00:04:56Shappie, well done.
00:04:58Don't you?
00:04:59Oh, my sweet!
00:05:00The coconut one, a.k.a. the one that goes straight in the bin.
00:05:03Now, John's team.
00:05:06What item has been made annually on TV for more than 60 years and requires galvanised wire, pliers, four peppercorn canister lids, fireproof tinsel, four candles, and four coat hangers?
00:05:20Go on.
00:05:21It's the Blue Peter Advent Crown.
00:05:23Yes!
00:05:24Well done.
00:05:25Well done.
00:05:26It was the flamethron tinsel.
00:05:28That is team.
00:05:29What has this building got to do with Christmas?
00:05:32Oh, Home Alone.
00:05:34Home Alone, yes.
00:05:35Yes, it's the house from Home Alone.
00:05:38And in case you want to visit it, it's on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.
00:05:42And you'll spot it because it's the one with a massive fence outside that says,
00:05:46Please, for the love of God, leave us alone.
00:05:49This is 1979.
00:05:51What has been released annually in time for Christmas and has sold more than two million copies in total and occasionally contains topless photos.
00:05:59Is it a calendar?
00:06:00Calendar.
00:06:01Calendar.
00:06:02Which one?
00:06:03Chippendales.
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.
00:06:10They used to be famous.
00:06:11Gonna have to hurry you.
00:06:12Pirelli tyres.
00:06:13Nearly.
00:06:14Cliff Richard.
00:06:15Oh, how amazing is that?
00:06:16I thought you were going to say a different kind of tyre then.
00:06:21Can we have half a point for calendar?
00:06:23Yes.
00:06:24Which shopping guide, first published in 1973, was at one time the most widely printed publication in Europe?
00:06:31Shopping guide.
00:06:32Shopping guide.
00:06:33Shopping guide.
00:06:34Littlewoods.
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.
00:06:44Used to circle it all me.
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 in the Argos catalogue.
00:06:50Only for your parents to just laugh in your face.
00:06:53Okay.
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 he become Alan Jones?
00:07:06No, 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?
00:07:16Has anyone?
00:07:17No.
00:07:18Oh, one person knows it.
00:07:20Bowie.
00:07:21Bowie.
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.
00:07:45Frost on the window and snow, snowballs and making snowmen.
00:07:54One winter I met a really big snowman.
00:07:57He got this scarf for me.
00:08:00You see, he was a real snowman.
00:08:01Unbelievable.
00:08:02Now, I've got to stop here because I've just heard that young Leslie Joseph here worked with 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 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 he 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.
00:08:37And I never did.
00:08:38And it was David Bowie.
00:08:39He was the first person I ever worked with.
00:08:41Leslie, that's unbelievable.
00:08:43First person I ever worked with was Kerry Katona.
00:08:46OK, teams.
00:08:50Time for the Christmassy mystery box.
00:08:57John!
00:08:58Johnny's Bean!
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, 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 get 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...
00:09:34Cranberry salt.
00:09:35Right.
00:09:36Well done.
00:09:37All 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.
00:09:57Right, 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.
00:10:07And...
00:10:08Yes.
00:10:09Yes.
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 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.
00:10:21Yes.
00:10:22OK, Shopee.
00:10:23The 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.
00:10:30OK, Shopee.
00:10:32Have 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 literally taste of Marmite.
00:10:49They're like, they look like little sticks.
00:10:51Oh.
00:10:52Oh, see, I like them.
00:10:53Do you like them?
00:10:54Yes.
00:10:55But they've dried the roof of your neck.
00:10:56Twiglets.
00:10:57That's it.
00:10:58Well done, yes.
00:10:59Well done, Biggie.
00:11:00Well done, Biggie.
00:11:01Yeah.
00:11:02Now I'm picking up something cold.
00:11:04Oh, I know.
00:11:05Also 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 hear what it is.
00:11:16Yes.
00:11:17Is it trifle?
00:11:18Well done.
00:11:19OK.
00:11:20Ooh.
00:11:21OK.
00:11:22Right.
00:11:23Oh, it's another bowl.
00:11:24I'm really scared to put my hand in it.
00:11:26OK.
00:11:27Ooh.
00:11:28These are warm, and they're round.
00:11:29Sausages?
00:11:30No.
00:11:31It's like...
00:11:32Like little balls?
00:11:33Like little balls.
00:11:34Scotch egg?
00:11:35No.
00:11:36All round balls.
00:11:37I put my thumb in it.
00:11:38I put my thumb in this warm, mushy ball.
00:11:41A ball?
00:11:42A ball?
00:11:43Yeah.
00:11:44It's like a sap.
00:11:45Stuffing?
00:11:46Oh.
00:11:47Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:11:48Oh, go on.
00:11:49It's a stuffing.
00:11:50It's a stuffing ball.
00:11:51Congratulations.
00:11:52Three points there.
00:11:53Yes, it was a trifle, stuffing 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 thinking
00:12:07to make some twiglet alternatives.
00:12:09Okay.
00:12:10Thanks, guys.
00:12:11Thanks.
00:12:12Thanks.
00:12:13Thanks, guys.
00:12:14Thanks, guys.
00:12:16We'll see you next time.
00:12:18At the end of that round, John's team, you've scored four and a half, and Shappie's team,
00:12:43you 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 Biggins.
00:12:54Do you want to start us off?
00:12:55Yes.
00:12:56Indeed.
00:12:57Right behind you.
00:12:58Yes, it is behind me.
00:12:59Oh, no, it's not.
00:13:02That's the first one.
00:13:03Right, here we go.
00:13:04Ready?
00:13:05Oh, look, I've got it here.
00:13:08Magic.
00:13:09As if by magic.
00:13:11What do you call Santa if he forgets to wear underwear?
00:13:15Oh, well, we'll find out the punchline after the break.
00:13:21Welcome back.
00:13:22Before the break, we've pulled the cracker and asked, what do you call Santa if he forgets
00:13:26to wear underwear?
00:13:27Go on, Biggins, give us a punchline.
00:13:28St. Nicholas.
00:13:30Oh, there we go.
00:13:31Beautiful, beautiful.
00:13:32Yes.
00:13:33This is a quiz about Christmas, and how do you know Christmas is coming?
00:13:36The first drop of snow?
00:13:37The sound of Mariah Carey's annual warble?
00:13:38No, the adverts.
00:13:39We're going to start this round with some quick-fire questions about Christmas adverts.
00:13:41John's team, you're up first.
00:13:42Which hugely important Christmas store was advertised by a cartoon giraffe called
00:13:46Beautiful, beautiful, yes.
00:13:49This is a quiz about Christmas.
00:13:53And how do you know Christmas is coming?
00:13:55The first drop of snow?
00:13:57The 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.
00:14:05John's team, you're up first.
00:14:07Which hugely important Christmas store was advertised by a cartoon giraffe called Jeffrey?
00:14:11I know, it's Toys R Us.
00:14:13It is.
00:14:14It is, Toys R Us, not the Stephen.
00:14:16My dad once queued at Toys R Us from 3 o'clock in the morning to get me one of those Power Ranger morphers.
00:14:22My mum made him save up all year and then he had to queue.
00:14:253am.
00:14:26Oh, that is so sweet.
00:14:27And he got it.
00:14:28Oh.
00:14:29Shappies team.
00:14:30Which product has been advertised for 30 years by a convoy of HGVs?
00:14:35Oh, Coca-Cola.
00:14:37Yes, well done.
00:14:38I would have accepted Eddie Stobart.
00:14:41John's team.
00:14:43What is going on here in this unexpectedly erotic close-up shot from a Christmas ad?
00:14:49Denim aftershave for men.
00:14:51For the man who doesn't have to try too hard.
00:14:53Eh, you were right monkey that really, wasn't it?
00:14:54It really was.
00:14:55Shappie thought it was his crutch.
00:14:56I thought it was his crutch.
00:14:57I thought it was his crutch.
00:14:58She's filthy, honestly.
00:14:59You thought it was a button fly.
00:15:00Yeah.
00:15:01You thought it was a button fly.
00:15:02Yeah.
00:15:03Right.
00:15:04What was this boy adorably using to add height so he could share a Christmas kiss in this clever Christmas ad?
00:15:10Oh, I know.

00:19:50Leslie was in with any girl. He was absolutely gorgeous fell in love with him. He was divine
00:19:56And that was in the days when you had a girl playing a man. Yeah, don't have that now
00:20:00Rosemary Ford who's absolutely brilliant played dick Whittington, and they would slap their thighs say 12 o'clock and still no sign of dick
00:20:10I'm talking about Stephen. Yes, about a rumor you're dying to be in panto. I really want to be buttons
00:20:18But no one's letting me I 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? Yeah, well, we've talked about it in the green room
00:20:27I've put him in touch with our producers
00:20:29Oh
00:20:30Two years time he'll be in pantomime. Thank you. Now you're a panto pro. Can you remember your first one?
00:20:36You know, we've all got a hundred panto stories, but in my early years of panto
00:20:39I did panto in Bradford and we lived in Surrey, which is like a five-hour drive
00:20:44My dad was so amazing because he was desperate the family got home for christmas and I got a lift as far as Watford gap
00:20:51Yeah, but it was snowing and so my dad had got there at like, you know
00:20:57one o'clock in the morning to meet me
00:20:59But we got there at something like four in the morning because we were stuck in the snow in the north
00:21:04And then we had to get up at five o'clock in the morning
00:21:08To just open christmas presents and leave at like
00:21:126 30 and he drove me all the way back up to Bradford
00:21:16Had a cup of tea and then drove back down to the family on Boxing Day. Yeah, I mean that's so sweet. Yeah, so I've not worth it was
00:21:24Worth it. It was definitely worth. Oh, well, that's all right then chappies 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
00:21:40Oh
00:21:42It's a puppet a puppet, but it's a puppet. Oh, oh, I know Brian Connolly. No, he's not a puppet
00:21:49He's not a human being, I think. Oh, he's not a puppet either. He's a human being, I think
00:21:50But he had that line in the puppet line. Yeah, but it's an actual puppet behind your head. Is it it's not sootie Richard Cadell?
00:21:56No, not sootie. Right, 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 1992
00:22:14Emily Simmons is advertised as her character name Marilyn for a moment away a bit rude
00:22:19And there's also John Inman and Billy Pierce, but which four characters from a kids tv show are behind biggins?
00:22:27Teletubbies is four characters from a kids tv show are um
00:22:30Um, sooty sweep and small millers. No, no, it wouldn't. No, I think it's got to be the Teletubbies.
00:22:36Is there a bit after 1993? Yeah, clue please. Yes, they worked a lot with Rod Jane and Freddie. Oh, right.
00:22:43So it's got to be George, Zippy, Bungle. What was your one called?
00:22:49Wasn't it Jeff? No, Jeffrey Jeffrey Jeffrey Jeffrey, but he's not. Oh, yeah, he is. Yeah, I was thinking he's not a puppet
00:22:59Jeffrey Hayes, Jeffrey, that was a girl, sorry. You, you've been given a book of these
00:23:06Bungle, it's campus 10
00:23:08Yes, it was Jeffrey Zippy George Bungle from rainbow now poor old Marilyn from home and away with second billing to an orange monstrosity
00:23:16Oh, no. With a zip for a mouth. Welcome to the UK. Hey.
00:23:21Right, it's time for a game all about possibly the most famous Christmas specials of them all.
00:23:27The Morecambe and Wise Christmas shows. Let's play more more Morecambe and Wise.
00:23:38John's team, you're up first and I need you to tell me more about this glamorous foot,
00:23:43which unfortunately, but comedically, found itself stuck in a polystyrene block. Whose foot is it?
00:23:50You're drawing us towards the Rippon. No. But it's wrong. No, yeah, because I'm going to see what you think.
00:23:55Ah, it's yeah. Yeah. I seem to remember. This is Dame Shirley Bassey.
00:24:00Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. It was Shirley Bassey's foot in the 1971 Christmas special.
00:24:08Here it is with the rest of Shirley Bassey, heroically battling through and no perfect
00:24:14performance of Smoke Gets In Your Eyes.
00:24:16So I chose them and I gave me love To think we could doubt
00:24:24Oh, God.
00:24:25Oh, God.
00:24:27Oh, God.
00:24:29Oh, God.
00:24:30Today, my love.
00:24:33I am the love.
00:24:37My love.
00:24:41That's amazing.
00:24:46I mean, wasn't she?
00:24:48Absolutely brilliant.
00:24:50Shabby's team, this one's yours.
00:24:52Morecambe and Wise are known for treating their guests appallingly.
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?
00:25:06I think it was the conductor.
00:25:10Andre Previn.
00:25:12Andre Previn, yeah.
00:25:13Andre Previn.
00:25:14Andre Previn.
00:25:15No, I'm afraid it was Elton John.
00:25:17Oh.
00:25:18Here he is.
00:25:19Bless him.
00:25:20Completely unfazed by the many bizarre twists and turns on his mission to perform.
00:25:25Hello.
00:25:26I'm Elton John.
00:25:27I'm here to do the Morgan and Wise show.
00:25:29Oh, yes.
00:25:30Mr Morgan and Mr Wise told me to give you this message.
00:25:32Oh, thank you.
00:25:33Dear elephant, please go to room four.
00:25:40Please go to room four.
00:25:41I'm fine.
00:25:54A major study into the lifestyle of the dolphin.
00:25:57And one dolphin in particular.
00:25:59He's called Beaky and lives in the waters near the desert as ponders.
00:26:03Over the last few years, scientists, particularly in America...
00:26:10It's Elton John, isn't it?
00:26:24Eh?
00:26:25Elton John.
00:26:26I'm supposed to be doing the Morgan and Wise show.
00:26:28Ooh.
00:26:29Is that finished?
00:26:30It's over.
00:26:32Well done, teams.
00:26:33In that round, John's team, you scored five points.
00:26:36Shaffi's team, you scored four points.
00:26:38Oh.
00:26:39Ooh.
00:26:42It's nearly time for the break, so time to pull a cracker.
00:26:45Stephen, what have you got?
00:26:47Here we go, John Thompson.
00:26:49Hey!
00:26:50Right.
00:26:51What do you call a snowman with a six-pack?
00:26:54Oh!
00:26:55We'll find out the punchline after the break.
00:27:14Welcome back.
00:27:15Before the break, we pulled a cracker and asked,
00:27:17what do you call a snowman with a six-pack?
00:27:20Go on, Stephen, give us a punchline.
00:27:22The Abdominal Snowman.
00:27:24Oh!
00:27:26Stephen!
00:27:27That was quite good.
00:27:28That was very good.
00:27:29Right.
00:27:30Nothing beats Christmas Day for food and drink.
00:27:32Baby shampoo breakfast, followed by your body weight in
00:27:35chocolate coins, and then saying,
00:27:37it's the last year I'm going to buy them nuts
00:27:39because no bugger eats them.
00:27:40As a pre-dinner nibble, let's have a little challenge.
00:27:43A game of nerves.
00:27:45You'll require a poker face and a lead stomach.
00:27:48So let's play chocolate or sprouts.
00:27:56Shappie's team, you're going to go first.
00:27:58You each have a box in front of you.
00:28:00In two of the boxes, there's a delicious chocolate,
00:28:02and in one of them, there's a very thoroughly boiled sprout.
00:28:05John's team will get a point if they correctly guess
00:28:08which of you has got the sprout.
00:28:10But you will get a point if you fool them.
00:28:12Shappie's team, please pop in your mystery item.
00:28:22Okay.
00:28:23No chewing yet.
00:28:30Okay.
00:28:31Okay, you can chew now.
00:28:37This is fantastic.
00:28:39John's team.
00:28:41John's team.
00:28:42It's more of an acting challenge.
00:28:43Tell me who.
00:28:44Who's got the sprouts?
00:28:45They all look like they hate it.
00:28:47I think Lesley.
00:28:49Not me.
00:28:50Not me.
00:28:51I agree.
00:28:52Which one?
00:28:53We think Lesley's playing sprout.
00:28:54But we don't think she's got the sprout.
00:28:55But we don't think she's got the sprout.
00:28:56She's got chocolate.
00:28:57Right.
00:28:58We think Shappie's chocolate.
00:28:59Yeah, we think Biggins.
00:29:00And we think Biggins is sprout.
00:29:01I don't know.
00:29:02It's the sprout.
00:29:03Okay.
00:29:04Which one of you has got the sprout?
00:29:06Me!
00:29:07Yay!
00:29:08Yay!
00:29:09Very good.
00:29:10Very good.
00:29:11Poor Ben.
00:29:12I don't know you.
00:29:13I don't know you.
00:29:14I don't know you.
00:29:15Now, John's team, it's your turn.
00:29:17You know what to do.
00:29:18I don't know what to do.
00:29:25Okay!
00:29:26Ah!
00:29:27Sorry!
00:29:28What?
00:29:29Okay, Shappie's team.
00:29:30Who's got the sprout?
00:29:31I don't think Debbie has.
00:29:32Well, I think she does.
00:29:33Oh, do you think she has?
00:29:34Yeah.
00:29:35Is she playing sprout?
00:29:36Unless she's a very, very good actress.
00:29:37Very good actress.
00:29:38Um, I feel that...
00:29:39I don't think Debbie has.
00:29:40Well, I think she does.
00:29:41Oh, do you think she has?
00:29:42Yeah.
00:29:43Is she playing sprout?
00:29:44Unless she's a very, very good actress.
00:29:45Very good actress.
00:29:46Hmm.
00:29:47Um, I feel that whatever John put into his mouth was very small, because he was balancing
00:29:52it nicely on his tongue.
00:29:53And trying to put his hand.
00:29:56And trying to put his hand.
00:29:57John?
00:29:58I don't think...
00:29:59I think John's got chocolate.
00:30:00Okay, I'm gonna have to hurry you.
00:30:01I think it's Debbie, Debbie.
00:30:02I think it's Debbie, Debbie.
00:30:03But I kind of feel...
00:30:04This probably...
00:30:05I just feel like...
00:30:06Ah!
00:30:07I say Stephen.
00:30:08How can they give lovely Debbie a sprout?
00:30:10Easily.
00:30:11That's not how things work.
00:30:12Come on, guys.
00:30:13I've got them turkey on.
00:30:14I think Debbie.
00:30:15I think Debbie.
00:30:16I think Debbie.
00:30:17I'll go with two against one.
00:30:18Debbie.
00:30:19Debbie, have you got the sprout?
00:30:20I don't think she has.
00:30:21No.
00:30:22Oh!
00:30:23She got you!
00:30:24Who had the sprout?
00:30:25I did say that, because you did it very quickly.
00:30:26I thought so.
00:30:27You've filled them, Debbie.
00:30:28That's a point to your team, John.
00:30:29Well done.
00:30:30Oh, that was angin'.
00:30:31Oh, that was angin'.
00:30:32Not even a bacon lard.
00:30:33I'd have a sprout.
00:30:34Mine was lovely.
00:30:35I've got an half spat out one if you want it.
00:30:36Right.
00:30:37Many of us would be lost without a TV cookery expert's help making Christmas dinner.
00:30:40Whether it's Delia holding her hand through a punishing timetable of prep or Nigella convincing
00:30:45us we can look sexy while peeling spuds.
00:30:47But some go the extra mile and provide us with something a bit surprising.
00:30:48It's time for some extra helpings.
00:30:49Shaffi's team.
00:30:50This game's for you.
00:30:51Take a look at this.
00:30:52When you buy your Christmas turkey I wonder if you do as I do and do it, which will make
00:30:57a lot of fun and fun.
00:30:58And I'm so happy to be with you.
00:30:59Yeah, and I'm so happy to be with you.
00:31:00Oh, I really do.
00:31:01Here's my twin.
00:31:02My twin.
00:31:03I'm so happy.
00:31:04I feel like a twin.
00:31:05We're all a little bit.
00:31:06We're all a little bit.
00:31:07And I love a little bit, too.
00:31:08I'm so happy to be, and just give me a big hug, too.
00:31:10Iante you!
00:31:11You've got a big hug.
00:31:12It's getting a big hug.
00:31:13It's getting a big hug.
00:31:14It's getting a big hug.
00:31:15It's getting a big hug.
00:31:16It's getting a big hug and Iante.
00:31:17I flip it, the tip.
00:31:18It's getting a big hug.
00:31:22Buy one just a little on the larch size.
00:31:25There are so many delicious things can be made from leftovers,
00:31:29but also it is more economical to buy a larch turkey.
00:31:33You get more meat to bone.
00:31:36Oh.
00:31:37Wow. We all like more meat to bone.
00:31:39That was the very natural hosting of Dorothy Slateholm,
00:31:42giving us some kind and practical advice in making use of leftover turkey
00:31:47in a 1971 edition of ITV's long-running daytime cookery show,
00:31:51farmhouse kitchen.
00:31:53But what extra thing does Dorothy do in this Christmas episode?
00:31:58Does she A, cough repeatedly,
00:32:02B, explain the best way to clean up various different kinds of spillage,
00:32:06or C, offer some cheap alternatives to traditional ingredients?
00:32:11Let's say, um...
00:32:12I think she probably clears up...
00:32:15I think because she's talking about you get more meat to the bone,
00:32:17she's already on the subject of being...
00:32:19I would say the cheap alternatives.
00:32:20Yes, I...
00:32:21Right, cheap alternatives.
00:32:22Cheap alternatives.
00:32:22Cheap alternatives.
00:32:24Absolutely wrong.
00:32:25Oh, no.
00:32:26OK?
00:32:26Oh, no.
00:32:27The answer is A.
00:32:28Oh.
00:32:28She coughs repeatedly.
00:32:30Oh.
00:32:31It's very subtle, so you might not notice,
00:32:33but here are some examples.
00:32:34Can be prepared quite a little in advance, as you will see.
00:32:40They're delicious for a party,
00:32:43or just a snack over the fire.
00:32:46Excuse me.
00:32:47Excuse me.
00:32:49A warm dish.
00:32:55Excuse me.
00:32:57And now all I have to do is to tell you about our recipe leaflets.
00:33:02Oh, my goodness.
00:33:04Why bother stopping for a retake?
00:33:07Just crack on my wasting tape.
00:33:09No-one will know.
00:33:09Who are you?
00:33:10In later years, Farmhouse Kitchen was hosted by Grace Mulligan,
00:33:14and in the 1986 Christmas show,
00:33:16she welcomed guest chef Jocelyn Dimbleby,
00:33:19who roasts a goose.
00:33:20For a bonus point,
00:33:22what do you think Jocelyn suggests you do
00:33:24with leftover goose fat and dripping?
00:33:26Um, um, give it the dog.
00:33:29No.
00:33:30Spread it on toast.
00:33:31Um.
00:33:32No, don't, perhaps you use it as some sort of thing
00:33:34to put on your face.
00:33:35Skincare.
00:33:36I'm going to give you that.
00:33:37Here's Jocelyn daintily fondling some goose fat
00:33:40and politely offering some old-fashioned medical advice.
00:33:44And, uh, the first job you have to do
00:33:46is to take out the fat.
00:33:49There's lots of fat inside it,
00:33:51and you take out all the excess fat.
00:33:52Um, you may think it's a messy job,
00:33:55but, in fact, just think of what good it's doing
00:33:56to your skin, your hands.
00:33:58Wonderful hand cream.
00:33:59What I normally do is I boil down the fat,
00:34:02um, and keep a lot of dripping,
00:34:04because it's very valuable.
00:34:06You shouldn't, shouldn't throw it away,
00:34:07because it does make the best roast potatoes ever.
00:34:09Or you can even just rub it on your chest
00:34:12when you have a cold.
00:34:12Apparently it works wonders.
00:34:15Oh, hand cream, rub it on your chest.
00:34:18Lag your ceilings with it.
00:34:21Everything.
00:34:21Next one.
00:34:23And food and drinks, Jilly Goulden,
00:34:25was known for a creative description
00:34:27of what wine tastes like.
00:34:28I mean, it tastes like wine, don't it, to me,
00:34:30but not to Jilly.
00:34:32No.
00:34:32In a Christmas drink segment,
00:34:34what unnecessarily weird words
00:34:36does she use to describe some ruby port?
00:34:39Is it A, a winter's afternoon in East Sussex,
00:34:43B, scattered potpourri,
00:34:45or C, wisteria up an old cottage?
00:34:49Oh, it has to be wisteria up an old cottage.
00:34:51Oh, I know the feeling.
00:34:58That's Christmas in Beggins' house.
00:35:00Let's take a look.
00:35:02That's an enthusiastic Jilly,
00:35:04meticulously describing the taste of port.
00:35:07And I'm looking at the most junior, insignificant sort of port, if you like, that you can get.
00:35:13It's a ruby port from Portugal, but is it a wow?
00:35:16£5.99, but it packs all sorts of gorgeousness in.
00:35:21Do you know what that smells like?
00:35:23On 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,
00:35:29wisteria up an old cottage, that's what it is.
00:35:31Yay!
00:35:35Do you think it's just made no one on the weekend?
00:35:37And, you know, a puddle in Bournemouth, I mean...
00:35:40One of my favourites is raspberries in a suede shoe.
00:35:43Ooh!
00:35:44Who said that?
00:35:45She said it.
00:35:46That's a real one.
00:35:47Raspberries in a suede shoe.
00:35:51OK, John's team, the next game's for you.
00:35:53Cooking Christmas dinner is a lot of work, isn't it?
00:35:56Well, anyone who's 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.
00:36:04Let's play Festive Feasting Fails.
00:36:07The first one, have a look at this.
00:36:13Anyway, why don't you do what I do, eh?
00:36:16You know, just put the dinner in your mouth and think of England.
00:36:20Right.
00:36:21Here we go.
00:36:22Slightly underdone, maybe.
00:36:35Yeah, that was the first ever Only Films and Horses Christmas special in 1981.
00:36:40And Del and Rodney are putting on a brave face as they tuck into the very unappetising-looking turkey that Grandad has prepared around their cramped but festive table.
00:36:50Now, it seems to be going better than they feared.
00:36:53But then, what goes wrong with this Christmas dinner?
00:36:56I know this one.
00:36:57You know this one, Deb.
00:36:58Yeah, Grandad left the giblets in the turkey.
00:37:00Here's Del and Rodney going from disbelief to horror to blind panic.
00:37:07Didn't throw the giblets away, did you?
00:37:10I only asked, I only asked, because I promised to be the old girl downstairs for a cat.
00:37:16There weren't any giblets in it, dear old boy.
00:37:18It was really clean, said so on the box.
00:37:21Yeah, I know it was really clean, Grandad.
00:37:23What they do is they take the giblets out, put it in a plastic bag and they put it back inside the turkey, don't they?
00:37:27Didn't they?
00:37:29Yeah.
00:37:30You took the bag out, didn't you?
00:37:36I didn't know it was in there.
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.
00:38:00And turkey a la oven.
00:38:04Mmm, yeah, that's great, actually get their taste buds going.
00:38:07I don't know, Eddie, when 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 going to slice something.
00:38:21The cleaver is stuck into a body part.
00:38:26This is true.
00:38:27Yeah.
00:38:28What, though?
00:38:29But you have to tell me...
00:38:30That's what I would guess.
00:38:31I would guess, yeah.
00:38:32Because that I'd finish here, wouldn't it?
00:38:33Yeah, so I think...
00:38:34Pants.
00:38:35Yeah.
00:38:35Okay, I'm going to give you that.
00:38:36He cuts his finger off.
00:38:38Yeah.
00:38:38Let's have a look at some typically grisly Christmas carnage from Richie and Eddie.
00:38:44Oh!
00:38:45Oh!
00:38:46Oh!
00:38:47Oh!
00:38:48Oh!
00:38:49Oh, no!
00:38:50Oh, Eddie!
00:38:51Oh, Eddie!
00:38:52Help!
00:38:53Help!
00:38:54Oh!
00:38:55Oh!
00:38:56Oh!
00:38:57I can't even watch that.
00:38:58For a bonus point, because Eddie's drunk all the brandy, what do they decide to make instead
00:39:12of brandy butter?
00:39:13On the same lines, I'll give you a little clue.
00:39:16Gin butter.
00:39:17Gin 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.
00:39:25Oh, I'm going to give you half a point.
00:39:27It was vodka margarine.
00:39:28Oh, vodka margarine!
00:39:29Oh!
00:39:30Yeah.
00:39:31Hey, don't knock it, so you've tried it.
00:39:32At the end of that round, John's team, you have four and a half, and Shappie's team,
00:39:37you have two.
00:39:38Oh!
00:39:39Oh!
00:39:40Oh!
00:39:41Oh!
00:39:42Here we go, kids.
00:39:45It's nearly time for the break, so let's pull a cracker.
00:39:48Shappie, have you got one this time?
00:39:49I have, yes.
00:39:50Ready?

00:40:00Well, we'll find out the punchline after the break.
00:40:15Welcome back.
00:40:16Before the break, we pulled a cracker and asked, who hides in a bakery at Christmas?
00:40:22Go on, Shappie.
00:40:23A mint spy!
00:40:24Oh!
00:40:25They're getting better!
00:40:26Excellent!
00:40:27I don't know about you, but hearing Christmas songs in the shops or on radio gets me right
00:40:36in the Christmas mood, apart from when it's November, and then it gets right on my nerves.
00:40:42Viacari and Slade are as much a part of Christmas for me as Santa and his reindeer, so your quick-fire
00:40:47questions this time are all about Christmas music.
00:40:51Okay, John's team.

00:50:08Are you ready? Yeah
00:50:11Right here we go
00:50:14I love this one what happens when you cross a snowman
00:50:19With a vampire well, we'll find out the punchline after the break
00:50:37Welcome back before the break we pulled a cracker and asked what happens when you cross a snowman with a vampire go on dead
00:50:44Give us a punchline and the answer is frostbite
00:50:48You get frostbite
00:50:51Hysterical
00:50:53Guess what causes the biggest arguments at Christmas? No, not to wait 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. So let's play the exceedingly festive sounding
00:51:09Why is this person crying?
00:51:18This game's for you John's team and all you have to do is tell me why a particular soap character is horrifically miserable
00:51:26In the selected clip first up
00:51:28Why is an anguished arthur fowler sobbing into his dressing gown in eastenders on Christmas day?
00:51:341986
00:51:36Oh, he's not in a good way is he but why I tell you why it's just pre-breakdown this
00:51:40He 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
00:51:51Yes, arthur 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 getting arrested falling into depression then smashing up his living room in a violent christmas rage
00:52:11like you do
00:52:35can we go again please
00:52:36That was genuinely a properly powerful performance to be fair but come on guys it's christmas and by the way
00:52:44This was the second eastenders of the day
00:52:46We'd already had den serving angie with the divorce papers don't know how we coped i mean double duff duff
00:52:55Next one why is a desperate and tearful deirdre barlow sobbing behind those distinctly 80s glasses in the
00:53:031988 corey special and it's not because she's found out that spec savers don't have a returns policy
00:53:09Did ken find out that she was having an affair with mike i don't know if that was at christmas though
00:53:15But it feels like it could be right is that your answer or did tracy
00:53:19Finally come down from the bedroom yeah and stop listening to her tapes
00:53:23Should we go for the mike one mike baldwin let's go with that no completely wrong
00:53:28She's being held hostage in a towel block by a desperate man who's one of her constituents
00:53:33Whose wife had just walked out on him when deirdre took some toys around for the kids
00:53:38He told her he wasn't going to spend christmas alone and barricade them into the flat
00:53:42Here'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
00:53:54what are you doing i'm gonna throw your tv set through the window
00:53:58this year
00:54:06yes
00:54:09to be fair corey'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
00:54:20dad 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
00:54:34i'm coming with you
00:54:39what do you think you're doing right well if we find this thing you leave it to me do you understand
00:54:53did they actually hit the bird no it was a head thing
00:54:56special effects steve good special effects right time for something altogether more cheerful
