Channel4 - 100 Greatest Christmas Moments

Steven Berkoff's Silent Night (1991)
Steven Berkoff's bleak exploration of loneliness at Christmas. Harry has only received six Christmas cards, the nicest one is from an insurance company he owes money to. Depressed and lonely, he contemplates ending it all.
Teletubbies - Christmas Special (1997)
The seasonal special saw the cuddly foursome beloved of pre-schoolers (not to mention sofas full of student stoners) trying to make sense of snow. Meanwhile harassed parents got into scuffles outside toy shops in search of THE Christmas present of the year. And to top it all the tie-in single got to number one, becoming the biggest selling record by a non-human group.
TFI Friday - Christmas Programme (1996)
Festive helping of Chris Evan's teatime knockabout, featuring Danny Baker as the real (and extremely surly) Father Christmas.
This is Your Life - Muhammad Ali (1978)
The show's Christmas day victim was always a big star, but never more so than when Eamonn Andrews surprised this icon of the twentieth century with the big red book.
This Morning - The Nativity (2000)
Like any good nativity, the This Morning version has had its share of dropped props, missed cues and sudden tears. But nothing could match the priceless moment when Snowy the donkey ruined his previously unblemished record by going all Liam Gallagher and started to butt the kids (the whole incident being helpfully re-enacted after the event by Richard Madeley).
Thunderbirds - Give or Take a Million (1967)
The final episode of the 1960s 'Supermarionation' classic sees two bank robbers trapped in a rocket full of Christmas presents intended for sick children. Three decades on the FAB five were to dominate two separate British Christmases as Tracy Island became the must have toy of the year.
Till Death Us Do Part (Various)
The debate still rages as to whether many viewers really got the fact that they were supposed to be laughing at Alf Garnett's bigoted rantings not with them. But there's no denying some of the show's great lines.
Treasure Hunt Christmas Special (1987)
Anneka Rice takes to the skies in a helicopter around the Holy Land.
Trigger Happy TV (2001)
Dom Joly's tinsel-themed combination of wind-ups, hidden camera tricks and surrealism including the fist-fighting Santa, the can't-be-bothered-with-giving-presents Santa and the stuck-up-the-chimney Santa.
Upstairs Downstairs - Good Will to All Men (1973)
Seasonal social commentary from the 1970s drama series, as Miss Georgina decides to help downstairs parlour maid Daisy's family with a gift of upstairs Christmas leftovers. The expedition ends in violence and disaster as she comes face to face with the reality of life in the slums of Edwardian east London.
The Vicar of Dibley - Christmas Episodes (Various)
Christmas in the Parish of Dibley is a time when vicar Geraldine Grainger is not afraid of multiple Christmas dinners and realism in the nativity play is stretched to the limit when Alice Tinker's Virgin Mary goes into labour for real.
Wallace & Gromit - A Close Shave (1995)
Our Claymation heroes are assisted by Shaun the courageous sheep in their efforts to avert a threatened wool shortage brought on by rustlers.
Wham! Last Christmas (1984)
It was kept off the top spot by Band Aid despite selling more than a million copies - sales figures which were largely due to an extended chart life as a result of being a double A side. Once the festive season was over and everyone was truly sick of everything Christmassy, radio DJs flipped it over and started playing Everything She Wants.
White Christmas (1954)
Perennial movie classic in which Crosby and Kaye enjoy a white Christmas in Vermont while trying to help out their old army General who's hit financial problems.
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Christmas Special (2003)
George Michael and Ronan Keating ride their luck in search of charity prize money in this Christmas special of the international quiz show phenomenon.
Wizzard - I Wish it Could Be Christmas Every Day (1973)
The Phil Spector wall of sound with added facial hair, this marked Roy Wood's entry into the mid-seventies challenge to write the perfect Christmas hit.
World Idol (2003)
The two-part special in which Will Young joined 10 other national Pop Idols of varying ability to vie for the accolade of World Idol. Upsetting the odds to claim the title was Norwegian Kurt Nilsen, a diminutive 25-year-old plumber with a gap-toothed smile and a big voice.
The World's Strongest Man (Various)
Not a bauble or figgy pudding in sight, but somehow the sight of musclebound Goliaths dragging articulated trucks has become a TV fixture in Christmas week. Amid the panting and the groin strains, the appeal of Paul Dickenson's combustible commentary should not be underestimated.
The X-Files - How the Ghosts Stole Christmas (2000)
Mulder and Scully visit a fog-shrouded mansion on Christmas Eve in an attempt to discover why everyone who has ever lived in house has met their maker on that day.
The Young Visiters (2003)
Quality family drama for the holiday period, featuring Jim Broadbent's brilliant and touching portrayal of an unworldly ironmonger attempting to improve himself for the sake of the woman he loves.
