Russ Abbot, Bullseye, Noel Edmonds and a film we all watched in the same room. Christmas TV was more exciting in the 80s...
Cast your mind back to when Christmas Day wasn't about Doctor Who followed by sticking something on Netflix until it was time to go watch the annual fist fight outside the pub.

In the 80s, Christmas was about seeing which fantastic fare the TV had decided to bless us with. Of course, the more prepared among us knew this well in advance, having eagerly pored over the Radio Times/TV Times to check that Jimmy Cricket's Family Laugh 'n' Waz would be shown. There it was – right after Reflections On The Eucharist With The Reverend Paul Leyland.

Joey Essex and Amy Willerton are flirting up a storm on I'm a Celebrity, with fellow camp-mates commenting on their sizzling sexual tension.
First, the model was teaching the Towie star how to tell the time, the next she was giving him a tender massage.
Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington joked: "I can't take the sexual tension anymore. I feel like I'm watching porn with my parents."
But obviously these two aren't the first contestants to strike up a connection in the jungle, as we recall the chemistry between other camp-mates of years gone by in the jungle by below:

2012. It's as if you came and went in the blink of an eye. But very few years have been quite as quintessentially British as 2012 – it'll probably be mentioned in years to come in the same way that ageing, craggy-faced football pundits look back on 1966 with a tear in the eye and a sigh of nostalgia. Whether Mrs Maj pretended to look interested at the Take That man's aggregation of pop stars and comedians; whether countless medals were achieved at the Olympics; or whether the country had maybe one week of glorious sunshine, 2012 would probably boom “Britain. Britain. Britain.” Big Tom-style.
And one typically British aspect still made its presence felt this year. 2012 has been a bit of a mixed bag for Who aficionados – new episodes, new companions, but then goodbyes to past companions, both in the series and in the real world. Add in an ex Doctor attempting gangsta rapping...

Bristow, who finished the show in fourth place, told The Sun that producers failed to meet their "duty of care" towards the comic. He explained: "The bosses should have taken him out beforehand. Where are those doctors that are supposed to be in the camp? Brian wasn't dangerous to us, but he could have been dangerous to himself." Bristow continued: "Brian started to show warning signs two days before. He flipped on day eight. He was talking gibberish about things and would walk off muttering to himself all the time.

As part of the Dingo Dollar Challenge, the celebrities had to guess who had lost a record two stone and three pounds while in the jungle - Rosemary or Colin Baker. The campmates incorrectly guessed Colin, with Eric saying: "He lost that in 17 days. That's just under two pounds a day. No way could Rosemary have lost that weight in five days less." When they discovered it was in fact Rosemary, Ashley Roberts wondered what Rosemary must have been eating before entering the jungle. Eric said: "She must have been a pig."
