“it’s a very special edition this year as we have a new joke which will be told by one of the teams during proceedings”
Humphrey Lyttelton

Geoffrey Perkins produced this episode.

'Christmas Stockings' is a version of 'Suitcases'.

'Simon Says' is the first new game of the 1980's.

'Singing Sprint' is played for the first time since Series 2, and is combined with 'Singing Relay'.

'Predictions' was played for the first time. Tim predicted that Humph would receive a Knighthood. It later turned out that he rejected one in 1976 and another in 1994.

This 42 minute episode contained 13 rounds. Before round one the teams had to pull crackers, reveal the gift and sing the motto.
