December 24th 1996
Channel 4 (UK)
Not just one of the finest Christmas Specials ever to air, but one of the finest episodes of television ever produced. "A Christmassy Ted" bears repeat viewing every single year, in fact it doesn't quite feel like Christmas without it.
After leading a group of priests who had accidentally wandered into Ireland's largest lingere section on a daring escape, Ted is awarded a Golden Cleric, the highest honour any priest can be given. From there, he dreams of fame and fortune, bores his fellow clergymen to tears, and foils a robbery from rogue priest Todd Unctious. The 55 minutes absolutely fly in, and there are so many laugh out loud moments, I always foregt a few every year.
One of the all time classics.
