Christmas Themed Specials

[Dan]

Hello Everyone. I'm trying to assemble a LOTSW Christmas watch list and would really appreciate input from other members as to which episodes have a festive theme. I find that not all Christmas Specials have a festive feel / story and perhaps other regular episodes may have such a theme without being categorised as a 'special' (?). Thanks in advance.

I can think of
Crums
What's Santa bought for Nora
Merry Christmas father Christmas
Whoops
A leg up For Christmas
Small Tune on a Penny Wassail
Barry's Christmas

The most consistently Christmas themed specials are in the Seymour years but I'd say the likes of A Merry Heatwave, Small Tune on a Penny Wassail from early on along with Barry's Christmas, A Leg up for Christmas, A Short Blast of Fred Astaire and A Tale of Two Sweaters in the later runs.

I know it was the last proper Christmas themed special they did, but A Tale Of Two Sweaters is my firm favorite

I do know where you're coming from I don't think Roy Clarke was a massive fan of 'doing Christmas' for example of the 3 Keeping Up Appearances festive specials only one was remotely Christmas themed...

... I don't think Roy Clarke was a massive fan of 'doing Christmas' ...

Mr. Clarke was, after all, a founding member of CRUMS (Christmas Resistance Underground Movement).


On a tangent.
I knew there was a reason had I liked the name Roy Clarke when I started watching LotSW, Keeping Up Appearances ages ago. Growing up I really enjoyed watching the highly talented musician and comedian Roy Clark on the 'Hee Haw' show back in the 70's & 80's.
