Nostalgia binge celebrating the British comedy Christmas special In the 60s and 70s, big studio entertainers like Morecambe and Wise and Mike Yarwood got the ratings, but sitcoms have been the most popular shows of recent years.
Classic moments are revisited, such as Tim and Dawn's kiss in The Office, Del Boy's sudden windfall in Only Fools And Horses and Geraldine's wedding in The Vicar Of Dibley.
