Culture Cup Christmas Special - Round Three Voting - Best Christmas Special

What a day of voting it has been. And, as with the election, a blithering idiot speaking general nonsense and a chunk of homophobia is the winner Don't be offended, I don't care.

The winner of that round was LondonTiger, a big majority that was larger than expected as he takes votes from traditional Slade areas to take a huge 10. The results of Round Two and the running table will be updated below.

This round is Christmas TV Special. I will leave you to police whether it is truly a Christmas special or not, you can vote to refuse this or accept and endorse, as is the way of the country. I can only hope Samo doesn't force through an independence vote and set up the Cup of Culture Special for Christmas.

Round Four will move away from the usual spice of the Culture Cup and bridge the topic of food. That's right, what is the best food stuff on offer at Christmas. I don't mean the dinner as a whole, I want specifics. Turkey; pigs in blankets; brandy butter; sprouts; yule log. Anything linked to Christmas, really. Pal Joey gets to use any Australian-related foods, so I expect a choice between seafood and a pavvy.

As ever, please send me your three choices.

And, as ever-er, please vote for two options in the following poll.

Round Two

LT - Fairytale of New York 10
Me - Last Christmas 6
PJ - Let It Snow! 5
Beer - Driving Home 5
Dagless - Merry Xmas Everybody 5
Jules - Xmas everyday 5
Samo - Most Wonderful Time of the Year 4
LD - Stop the Cavalry 4
Marky - Step Into Xmas 3
Trebs - All I Want For Christmas Is You 2
Super - Hooker 2

Hero - White Christmas 2
Galted - Santa Claus You C*nt 1
McLaren - Rudolph 1

The round is waiting for a few picks because of clashes

I’d suggest sending more than three options on food

Pretty sure my 3rd option is safe

Slightly confused I got my first choice Song, was sure I had my second choice. Surprised I got my 5th choice Christmas special rather than 4th choice which I cannot see. Not complaining, just preparing for a pleasant post-prandial slide back to mediocrity.

That’s actually a mistake, it was someone else’s second choice but I thought I’d given them it. I can change it

If you want, after all this is for fun?


Right?


Or do I lose my soul if I come last?


Oh god will this nightmare never end?


Is there anyone there?


Mummy! I want my mu

Awwww, I probably would've voted for The Royle Family had it been Barbara's Old Ring.

Almost went for Time on our Hands, but I think I picked Heroes and Villains as my second choice because it was closer to Christmas. An excellent mini-series and would have been the perfect end to OFaH except they decided to bang a few more out. The scene in the bar when everyone applauds them always gets me.

In my head the subsequent specials never happened, especially the abomination in Florida

Didn't vote for what I assume was mine because it was pretty cr@p and was more of a protest nomination - not a fan of Christmas specials in general - although the Blackadder one was pretty good.
