Last Of The Summer Wine – The Loxley Lozenge (BBC1, 1984). Wesley needs help with an exciting discovery. Nothing Xmassy, razor thin plot & featuring an infamous "old men rolling down hill" gag, but the leads are all on top form, the script shines with wit & whimsy, and it's damn funny.

That link to Nairn Across Britain is worth a click, by the way, to see someone enthusing about buildings and canals and landscape – and for this appropriately festive end title

Dad's Army - A Brush with the Law (15th December 1972). Mainwaring stands accused of leaving a light on. With Square on the magistrates bench, will he get a fair trial?

I used to flick through John Lewis wedding lists to find something cheap until they locked them down. I'd buy them something like a single saucer and say something like "from all your friends at the Boyzone Fan Club." I hope hope they found it as baffling as I found it funny.

Copilot made me SO angry. Microsoft turned it on automatically, so as I was using Word, its stupid icon appeared by every paragraph, offering (read: insisting) to re-write everything I was writing.
I dropped everything and wasted like an hour trying to figure out just how to turn that OFF.

Christmas Ident Calendar Day 15. BBC2's '2' stayed with Wallace & Gromit in 1995 to promote A Close Shave, which was watched by 10.62m on Christmas Eve. This presentation won a BAFTA for Best Graphic Design. Look out for the nod, the wink & the raised glass at the end.

Spooky Advent day 14: The League of Gentlemen Christmas Special, from 2000. This illustration comes from the second of three spooky stories in the portmanteau style special set in a lovingly, almost nauseatingly recreated 1970s Duisburg (Frau Lipp's nipples immediately, ahem, spring to mind).

The sad thing about the MTV channels closing is that it ends my yearly tradition of watching their weird Xmas videos like this Slade one, taken from some TV show which has a caption about chart stats, and only the drummer can be heard live so goes OTT www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5V1...

The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party.
