Another in the line-up of C4 100 Greatest… shows was The 100 Greatest Christmas Moments – presented by Jimmy, once again. There is a short blast of the end credits (here) that shows that he was also credited as Writer.
Broadcast on December 24th 2004 this Christmas Specials Fandom site has the full list of the moments included.
It’s a 4 hour show and, while some have been sneery about how many of these Jimmy presented, 20 odd years ago, you have to consider it in the light of the growth of the TV side of his career. This was great experience for someone who made a point of studying how TV shows are made and, in light of how many hit shows he’s fronted, this has massively paid off.
This is a short (and shaky) clip, from the start of the show, with Jimmy chatting from a bed.
