Also for many people Christmas Day is a really inconvenient day to watch television, I never watched Who live on Christmas Day because I didn't want to have to shush everyone. You need stuff to dip in and out of, like Strictly

Wasn't even a premiere in 1977, it had been in the exact same slot in 1975!

BBC1 on Christmas Eve 1986 was a crap film, a Two Ronnies repeat and a bog standard unfestive episode of Dallas genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/schedules/se...

I am banned from getting the soy sauce out of the kitchen cupboard as I always refer to it as s-s-soy s-s-sauce, after watching Trev and Simon's Other Video a trillion times
