First run through. 54 out of 70
Who’s watching Porridge at xmas????
The Christmas Special is considered a classic.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b007894v/porridge-christmas-special-no-way-out
I thought I'd be rubbish at this one but actually up to 22 so far. Probably not much further though!
Got to admit I just typed a few obvious ones which HAD to be there. Would've guessed from the clues anyway, once it showed me where they were!
Some I have no idea what they have to do with xmas. For example that bag at the bottom right. Don't see the connection.
For example that bag at the bottom right. Don’t see the connection.
Spoiler for ”Bag”
I got what it is. Just not what it's got to do with xmas.
Ah yes that Christmas classic. Match of the Day.
bit cross about the gemstones and the flag. I've got the obvious name from it but it won't work. It HAS to be that, surely
Anyhow, given up at 35
10 minutes in, 36 found. Getting stickier now...
stuck at 46, with some big obvious clues yet to get - the pantomime horse for one
and the cat with the number 8 on it surely must be the james bond film i'm thinking of??
can't get the code to work!
I can give you a clue to both if you like?
61 so far with between 2 of us
cat with the number 8 on it surely must be the james bond film
it's not - it's something much less obvious / actually quite a poor clue
It is a brilliant clue but only if you watch the show (which many people don't do as they can't stand that Carr man)...
It is a brilliant clue
I doubt a high proportion would see it that way
with some big obvious clues yet to get – the pantomime horse for one
I was annoyed when I got that one... kept refusing the answer and I couldn't think why.
On 63 this morning.
Ones that I can’t get (assuming they are clues at all)
Red balloon
Black map
Teddy bear vicar
Rocket
Burnt Elephant toy
Snake? Under the sofa
Suitcase
Santa decoration on the sofa
Glass jar / bottle
Burnt Elephant toy
I'm only on 3637*, off sick, so not in the office to play the game with my colleagues.. which has become a xmas wind down tradition. A great bit of team building, nicely spoilt by head office blocking the site mid week, last xmas...
As for those bored by the quiz, really it's bit of silly fun, wind your necks in
*cheers Multi21, as I've never actually watched the movie
three fish
Fox tail
mouse
red ballon
suitcase
these are the ones bothering me currently
Three fish
I assumed these were herring?
Fox tail
mouse
Same clue
fox tail and mouse are one clue together.
38 and struggling
It's almost like different people like different things.
Totally crazy.
stuck at 46, with some big obvious clues yet to get – the pantomime horse for one
Remember the theme isn't TV, it's things you watch.
Snake? Under the sofa
Halfway through and flagging. Some of these are pretty obscure, like the dollar bill, if you haven't seen the film there's no way on Earth you'd ever guess it.
stuck at 51 and it's beginning to hurt my hungover brain. obvious ones i can't get:
pantomime horse
mouse / fox
purple slippers - deff not aladdin
dollar bill
map on wall
red balloon
green suitcase
ghost
name badge
flag & gemstones
that all still leaves me circa 10 short!
Had figured the snake one out. On 68 now
Things that might still be clues:
Black map
red balloon
glass bottle
suitcase /briefcase
rocket
santa decoration on sofa
star cookie?
I was sure I knew what the teddy bear with the cross was, put it in, it was accepted, not got the dot on the bear. So now I'm reet confused.
There’s zero excuse for anyone watching Mrs Brown’s Boys at xmas or any time of the year
Cant argue with that!
obvious ones i can’t get:
pantomime horse
Rentaghost.
Unfortunately not the correct answer.
53 and stuck
God Squad Bear
Dutch Flag and Jewels
Carpet bag
The three yellow bricks
amongst others ...
57 and struggling:
Netherlands flag and gems
Carpet bag - now got!
collar on ice
jumping dog
if i knew how to do spoilers could answer a few above?!
The three yellow bricks there's definitely more than three, might lead somewhere. More of a classic than a Christmas-specific film....
The ghost dog
The three yellow bricks
When you put it like that it's obvious, I thought they were sponges.
OK, I'm annoyed at the Dalek because that is not the name of the show.
I'm obviously being thick, but the answer is how I've always known that TV show as...what is the correct name for the show?
bit cross about the gemstones and the flag. I’ve got the obvious name from it but it won’t work. It HAS to be that, surely
OH MY GOD I've just got the pun and same, I can't find a show name to match. In any case I would have associated that more with
Dr Whom?
The gemstone one needs the full name of the show. A good Scottish word.
I’m obviously being think, but the answer is how I’ve always known that TV show as…what is the correct name for the show?
The first word in full rather than the shortened version.
The gemstone one needs the full name of the show. A good Scottish word.
Ah, you're right, and that's dogshit because it's nothing to do with Christmas.
Is the drippy cupcake a separate clue from
Yes. Separate clue and it’s exactly what it appears to be. No clever puns. It’s just a cake
A drippy cupcake? 😀
done and done
[/spoiler]
some of the clues are a bit spurious imo this year!
edit - sorry! forgot to spoiler the pic
According to multi’s picture I’m only missing the star cookie? And the santa decoration on the sofa
69. Only the wooden star in the top left corner to go.
I don’t understand either. Ive been banging my head off the wall for hours now. Any hints appreciated.

I've given a hint already in my previous post. But if that doesn't work, what about
Cougar2Free Member
Because it’s a film I’d never heard of.
Yes it's pretty obscure I guess, but I was more referencing that I'd
Thanks @multi21.
Would never have got that. Never heard of the film and, as it turns out, was massively over complicating every attempted answer.
70/70
Stuck on 2 I think.
Dollar Bill (previous clue was clearly too subtle for me)
Box on floor
Stuck on 60, can swap dollar bill for any of the following (1 of which at least can't be a clue!)...
Roland Rat on sofa
Dutch flag and gemstones
Red Merry Christ.... incomplete sign on wall
Pine cone on floor
Crutch leaning against table
Stick figure hiding at back of table
Rocket leaning on sofa
Reindeer with a backback
Green suitcase
Red Balloon
Weird abstract painting
Dutch flag and gemstones
The gems are jewels.
Crutch leaning against table
This is something used by a character in a classic Christmas story.
Reindeer with a backback
For your googling pleasure, he looks like something from the same place as Wallace & Gromit.
Dollar Bill (previous clue was clearly too subtle for me)
If you don't know this, you'll never guess it. It's from a film where
Red Merry Christ…. incomplete sign on wall
Still stuck with the box on the floor. Thanks for the other clue - a film I'd heard of but never seen.
There are lots of boxes. What’s in them?
Why is that one box different from the rest?
hmm, no 60/70, but still stuck on the below - any hints:
pantomime horse
fox / mouse
three fishes
abstract black map
2 candy canes
ice with collar on it
hello i am christmas name badge
santa on sofa
rocket
christmas sign
assuming they are all clues that is
63 and haven't got:
the pine cone on the floor
the black map
the people outside the window
the rocket
the open box/present
the wihte and red wrapped present
the fish
the red balloon
the suitcase
the collar on ice
which is ten?!? so obviously not all clues...
Things that are NOT clues:
Fish
red balloon
pine cone
black map
rocket
suitcase
