About
Gold challenged the British public to tweet original festive jokes in this annual competition. Entries were then shortlisted by a panel of judges which was led by comedy critic Bruce Dessau, then it was put to an anonymous public vote of 2,000 British adults.

They do not just look to the past, they put new life into the shows with retrospective shows. Saluting Dad’s Army, Dinnerladies Diaries and How The Young Ones Changed Comedy, to the feature length comedy capers Murder on the Blackpool Express and Death on the Tyne.
One thing we loved to see is the classic show Dad’s Army lost some recording of the original show. UKTV (the owners of Gold) commissioned an exclusive remake of those episodes to Gold. This keeps it true to form for Gold’s aim.
