Notes
This programme was the most offensive programme yet broadcast by the BBC on Christmas Day, according to complaints from outraged viewers. The BBC, however, refused to apologise to the viewers, despite over 100 complaints received. Viewers had complained of excessive use of the word "f***" by Tate's foul-mouthed Nan character in the first sketch of the show.
