Brits have voted for their favourite Christmas TV moments of all time – with the “Batman and Robin” episode of classic sitcom Only Fools and Horses topping the list. The hilarious episode, which aired in 1996, saw Del Boy and Rodney unknowingly prevent a crime while dressed as the dynamic superhero duo.
And the poll of 2,000 adults also saw Only Fools and Horses taking second spot on the Christmas TV list – with an episode that aired just four days later, in which Del Boy finally becomes a millionaire. Nearly half of those polled (48 per cent) said that Christmas TV is one of their favourite things about the festive season – and they will watch 10 hours of TV between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day.
Other memorable festive moments from the small screen include The Snowman's “Walking In The Air” scene, Geraldine's sprouts ordeal from The Vicar of Dibley, and more recently, Nessa proposing to Smithy in Gavin & Stacey.
