Title Airdate Description Notes
"What's Santa Brought for Nora, Then?" 23 December It's Christmas 1989, and Compo is trying to earn some money to buy Nora a Christmas present. Surely Auntie Wainwright will have something suitable.
  • 50-minute special
  • This was the last full episode to feature Seymour Utterthwaite. In the first episode of the following series, he would appear for only the first five minutes before leaving the town on a bus to take up a new teaching post.
  • This episode features the second guest appearance of Auntie Wainwright. She would become a regular from series 14.
  • At the end of the episode, the final present, which Ivy opens, is a painted egg, presumably a teaser for Foggy's return the following series. A further indication of this is that part of Foggy's theme plays as Ivy and Nora read the card the egg came with, where they appear to mouth Foggy's name.
  • Included on the series 11 & 12 boxset
