That's What I Call Christmas Television
Wednesday 26 December 2007 7:30pm - 8:30pm on ITV1.

Fern Britton will be joined by co-host Ronnie Corbett for That’s What I Call Christmas Television. Together they will look back at some classic TV that kept us glued to our screens during the festive season.

Fern and Ronnie will reunite Paul Nicholas and Jan Francis for the first time since they played Vince and Pen in Just Good Friends. Their final ever episode pulled in more than 20 million viewers on Christmas Day in 1986.

Blue Peter stars Valerie Singleton, Peter Purves & John Noakes join Fern and Ronnie in the studio to share their behind-the-scenes secrets of the making of the advent crown and every child’s favourite Christmas show.

Christmas Top of the Pops returns with Tony Blackburn & David Jensen as they step back into the Top of the Pops studio and reveal their all time favourite Christmas number ones.

Fern and Ronnie will recreate, as only they know how, the classic Ferrero Rocher advert with some surprise guests at the Ambassador’s party.

Christmas soaps including Crossroads, Emmerdale Farm and Coronation Street will be revisited plus other great Christmas day entertainment classics including Morecambe & Wise, Val Doonican’s Christmas Party, Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em and of course The Two Ronnies.

Fern Britton, the Queen of Daytime, has a seasonal message for the nation with That’s What One Calls Christmas Television and Ronnie Corbett makes a special appearance in his favourite chair.

Fern says: “The 1980s was a rich decade for television and talent. So many marvellous careers were established then by people who are still familiar faces on television today. I have many vivid memories of TV shows of that time. They include the wonderful Coronation Street, which I have watched since 1977. I would be absolutely lost without it.
