As you loyal fans know, I've been in an absolute tizzy since it was announced there's gonna be a Gavin & Stacey Christmas special this year. So I thought of three (for now) other beloved shows I'd like to see an updated Christmas special:
ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES
The king of the Christmas special, OFAH was a Christmas tradition over 19 episodes. David Jason is 79 so it’d be good to do this one asap, with the only significant people lost since the final episode are Trigger and, of course, writer John Sullivan. But Sullivan’s son wrote the Comic Relief sketch with David Beckham and the OFAH musical, so it seems like he could pull it off as good as it possibly could be. Rodney’s daughter would be 16 this Christmas, so of course having a teen daughter would have Rodders pushed to the edge already and could be pretty hysterical. And it could feature Boycie and Marlene’s triumphant return to Peckham after years of hiding out from the Driscoll brothers farming in Shropshire.
BLACKADDER
Fascinating purely to see what time period they’d be in, and how they’d twist a classic Christmas story like their genius turn on A Christmas Carol 31 years ago.
THE IT CROWD
Almost 15 years later are Roy, Moss and Jen still in the basement? What does the tech look like for them? Can we get Matt Berry in a Santa Claus costume pleeeeeeeeease???!?!??!
THE INBETWEENERS
Let’s catch up with the boys 10 years after they let Simon’s piece of shit car roll into a lake! Is Jay still the bullshitter of all bullshitters? Did Simon finally wear Karli down? Did will go to Oxbridge? How dumb IS Neil? And most importantly: is Gilbert still banging Will’s super-hot mom?!??!?!!?
