Best Christmas TV moments

Only Fools and Horses - among the TV favourites
5 April 2012

The original Band Aid, classic Jimmy Stewart movie It's A Wonderful Life and The Office Christmas specials are vying to be crowned Britain's Greatest TV Christmas Moment.

TV viewers have been sifting through decades of Christmas television, everything from the lesbian kiss on Brookside to the Only Fools And Horses Christmas specials, to choose their favourites.

They have been asked to select from festive TV treats like the Alternative Queen's Speech, Raymond Briggs' cartoon The Snowman, and Monty Python hit The Life Of Brian.

Other seasonal offerings include Carry On Christmas, the Queen's Speech, and even Cliff Richard At Christmas, famous for songs like Mistletoe And Wine.

Ellen MacArthur's Sailing Through Heaven And Hell, the Bafta-nominated broadcast which saw the record-breaking yachtswoman spending Christmas alone on her boat, is also nominated, alongside The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl's song Fairytale Of New York.

The 100 Greatest Christmas Moments will be announced by comedian Jimmy Carr on Channel 4 at 9pm tonight.
