Thanks to everyone who has joined in our quest to find the greatest ever year for Christmas television.
Somewhat surprisingly (to us anyway), the three finalists are years of which most people at TV Cream Towers have vague or even no first-hand memory.
In addition, we have spectacularly failed to rig the poll so a year from the mid or late 1980s made the cut.
Ah well. Here, then, are the candidates. Over to you!

- 1981 (BBC1: The Generation Game, Jim'll Fix It, Last of the Summer Wine, The Two Ronnies, Dallas; ITV: Dr No, This is Your Life, The Muppet Movie, Game for a Laugh, It'll Be Alright On The Night 3) (41%, 55 Votes)
