I think what I missed this year on TV was comedy. I found the Birds of a Feather 1992 Christmas special on Drama and my parents and I loved it; however, I knew it practically by heart because I used to have it on VHS with the Only Fools and Horses, 2 Point 4 Children and Waiting for God specials from the same year, which I used to watch over and over. The only sitcoms I can think of that even got Christmas specials this year were Mrs Brown's Boys and Outnumbered (and don't get me started on how I loathe the former), unless you count the Open All Hours revival, which was a nice slice of nostalgia, but didn't appear to have a plot of any kind. Is sitcom just a dead format in the UK now?
