    Phew! That was a tense one. Seeing myself so close to the top of the leaderboard is not good for the old anxiety - the pressure is really on now... :D

    OK folks, time's up!
    We're now at the halfway stage, who'll be leading the pack...?

    As many of you pointed out, there were a lot of options today and we hadn't a good spread of answers...

    Photo-2019-12-12-01-57-17-PM.jpg

    Which one will come out on top though?
    Results in ten minutes or so


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,697 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Great dithering today :p
    I don't like this question at all, please ask another:p
    Going for the first answer to come to mind has failed me spectacularly so far... so naturally I'm going to keep doing it and not learn from my mistakes
    I begin my rise to the top with TOY SHOW ! :D The last sheep was unforgiveable. Taking no prisoners :pac::pac::pac: now! If Toy Show don't sheep, :eek: Santa don't exist!
    Ye see this again is going to show an age divide....people who don't understand comedy and plump for Mrs Browns Boys, and the rest of us who do and go for only Fools and Horses. I'd have loved to have said Morcambe and Wise, as it was the original Xmas special show but I think that is too far back for most so OFAH it stays
    I really, really want to say the Queens Speech but I'd probably Peehs it, so I'm going for Morecambe and Wise :D
    I can't really think of anything else (other than Mrs Brown's Boys, which I refuse to dignify with a submission)
    Mr Browns boys has one but out of principal never going to pick that crap
    If Mrs Brown’s Boys sheeps I will kick off
    I have started my slide down, if this is karma for abuse. I regret nothing. You Plonker Nitters
    Ugh. I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally want to say Dr Who. But who else will say that? I don't think it's as well known/watched over here as it is in the UK. Stupid UK. I may be one of the very few people who just don't watch tv at all on Christmas day so I haven't a clue what specials are on. Reeling in the years? No? The Nuacht?
    I know I'm going to regret that when 25 people pick The Royle Family!
    The Royle Family or Father Ted......Royle Family because of their abundance of Xmas specials or Fr Ted because of Boards' love affair with the show
    The Royle Family Christmas Special. I bet I should have said Father Ted. Even though I don't watch either of them tbh!
    Imma go farther Ted just on gut
    I think it will come down to Only Fools and Horses and Father Ted, and as much as I'd love to see Del Boy and Rodney sheep, I think Ted and his golden cleric will take the top spot. Honestly aside from that Saved By The Bell episode where Zack gets a homeless family for xmas who are never seen or mentioned again, I can't even think of any other shows that standout as having iconic festive episodes
    Arrrrrrrrgggggh this one is so hard! The Late Late Toy Show is the most epic of all Christmas Specials but given it's in November it might get overlooked. Is it a soap? Is it reality tv? A quiz show? Is it Mrs Brown's Boys but I don't watch that, do they do a Christmas Special? I can't cope. I was going to go for Dr. Who but feck it I'm going back to the Toy Show. Ah jaypers me nerves
    ...five minutes later...
    Can I change my answer to Mrs. Browns Boys? Pretty please? I don't think the Toy Show is classed as a Christmas Special enough Argh :D
    Is the torture over now?
