0 Comments | Sunday Mirror, Nov 30, 2003 | by IAN HYLAND

BEST FOR SOAP FANS

EastEnders (BBC1 6pm & 8.30pm) Two doses today, and considering the usual Christmas misery, "doses" is the right word. Expect fights, bad jokes and drinking - with Dirty Den keeping his hands in his pockets throughout.

BEST FOR LAUGHS

Only Fools And Horses (BBC1 9.10pm) It wouldn"t be Christmas without Del Boy and Rodney, so thank you, Auntie Beeb, for delivering this cracker. Just think, Rodders, this time next year we"ll be, erm, eating turkey.

BEST FOR FARM FANS

Emmerdale (ITV1 6.30pm) It"s been a funny old year what with Chris Tate dying and all. And you can guarantee the festive season won"t be full of cheer. Epecially if Charity has her way. Let"s face it, she usually does.

BEST FOR BUBBLY

Absolutely Fabulous (BBC1 10.25pm) While we're stuck with Nana"s sherry, you can bet Eddie and Patsy wi'll be cracking open some vintage Bolly. Hope their jokes are better than those in my Christmas crackers last year.
