I notice Channel 4 is again screening the Christmassy Ted episode of Father Ted. Which episode of a TV series (as opposed to one-offs such as The Snowman) has been screened most often on one of the five main TV channels?

I would have thought the episode of the Tom & Jerry cartoon The Night Before Christmas must be one of the screened episodes – it seemed to be on every Christmas Eve until a few years ago.

Surely it has to be that episode of Only Fools and Horses? You all must know which one I mean.

Sarah Kennedy, Leeds

It must be that episode of Match Of The Day where Manchester United get a dodgy penalty and a last-minute winner at Old Trafford. »

Harry Potter actor David Bradley will be among those to get an honorary degree from Warwick University in the summer of 2012.
