    My favourite Christmas specials are the call the midwife ones. I especially like the 2018 one.

    There are so many Call The Midwife ones, it's so hard to choose! I do really miss Chummy in the series.

    so do I @Hannah_Scope. I like the 2018 one the best as Miriam Margolyes is in it. I also liked Barbara and sister Mary Cynthia.

    Oh Miriam, she is a brilliant actress. Yes, I feel the series has had some of the best actors and actresses :)

    I would nominate The Good Life Xmas Special, when Margot told Tom she didn't join in the fun because she didn't know how to. I thought it very poignant because it shows how people can be misunderstood. I was very shy as a lad and I found it hard to join in; it wasn't because I didn't want to, it is because like Margot I didn't know how to.

    The Royal Family, when they killed off Nana. The script and acting was superb.

    The Vicar of Dibley Xmas lunch is classic! But at the end of the day, you simply cannot beat Morecambe & Wise.

    Two doors down for me and the midwives, plus the soaps.
