    Fr.Ted.
    I associate it with younger years and more tranditional christmasy feelings ,like santa.
    I quote it on the regular still!

    Gavin and Stacey for me, making it 4-4.

    Main reason is really it's lot more Christmassy than Ted, with a better, funnier plot. Ted is a bit disjointed, more like 2 episodes strung together.
    I still love it though, of course! :D

    The bit in the lingerie department of the shopping centre was a real WTF part of it. The weakest bit of both finalists IMO.

    6-5 to Gavin & Stacey, same as before, G&S 1 from the win, Ted 1 from levelling up....

    Exactly what you'd want for the final really... a one sided final would be a tad anticlimactic...;)

    4 minutes between winning and leveling up!

    Great final.

    This one was much better then I though it was going to be.

    Thanks Posy for organising and looking forward to the next one (once you had a well deserved rest)

    Sorry to see Father Ted fall at the last hurdle :( I just don’t get the love for Gavin and Stacey, I don’t find it funny at all

    Be thank you to Posy for hosting the tournament :)

    I’m the exact same. “Gavin and Stacey” is never watched in this house around the festive time of year ://

    I just don’t get it.

    Very much a traditional Irish Christmas household here.

    It doesn’t give me that christmas feeling whereas something like the various Christmas cookery shows or Christmas hymns and carols would ....

    There's plenty of stuff out there I simply don't get either, that Mrs browns boys for example, it's utter utter garbage but loved by the masses. Its the sun newspaper of the comedy world IMO, but there's plenty who'll argue the opposite.

    But as I always say, if we all liked the same things it would be a boring world.

    Anyway, a deserving winner IMO, but I'd have had no issues with 5 or 6 others winning it either.

    So on to the next one...
