You sent in your favourite bits from the 2003 Christmas Special... (Views expressed are those of the writer.)
I thought their take on the Gap advert and Britney and Madonna were absolutely fabulous! Also Dawn's Catherine Zeta-Jones was great I couldn't stop laughing. Hannah, Birmingham
I have to let Dawn French know that the Catherine Zeta-Jones sketch was the funniest thing I have seen this year! I am from Swansea (CZJ's home town) and I have to tell you that the accent was SPOT ON "Townhill" (which is where the Joneses came from before they got rich and famous, ha ha!). It was hysterical and inspired and I'm mightily pissed off that I didn't tape the show so that I can watch it again. Sheer brilliance. Fiona, Swansea
I loved the Crimbo special. Madonna and Britney eat your heart out, you were wicked! You guys haven't lost it, you are still able to make great comedy. My fave was the celebrity reports. Fantastic! I wish I was as talented as you guys. Jo, London
I cried whilst watching the Sausage and Mash thingbob, it was SO funny! The best TV of 2003. Chris, Colchester
Jack and Meg White [The White Stripes] are very talented, and that seemed to suggest they are crap. It is OK to take the piss out of Britney, she is talentless. Maybe I should lighten up a bit. i love jack white
The show was brill and Britney and Madonna better watch out as you are equally as good as them! Rosemary and Thyme was brilliant and we can't wait to see your next show! Thanks for making our tv screens more interesting and funny! Jenni and Charlotte, Birmingham
Excellent, hilarious, brilliant as always, what more can I say? Tasha, Norfolk
Catherine Zeta-Jones' piece to camera was inspired, and as for the Britney/Madonna skit, perfection! Tony, London
I watched the show and taped it at the same time... I had such a blast watching it... so much fun. The Britney/Madonna sketch was absolutely crazy fun... well done!!! And also The Poo Stripes... go on making these shows... love them... Michael van Kekem, The Netherlands
I thought the Madonna and Britney sketch was absolutely brilliant... it made me laugh, gasp and when Jennifer Saunders did the thing with the pole... I couldn't breathe for laughing at her. Keep up the good work ladies and I hope to see a lot more of their work!! Nicola, Wigan
Brilliant. Made me smile, for the first time this xmas. Thank you. Anne Aucott, Leicester
Brilliant, very funny, liked The Matrix and White Stripes :D Sam, Grimsby
The highlights for me were Jen and Dawn as Britney and Madonna (it's a bit scary really! I loved it when Dawn said 'I look GREAT!') Also Dawn's take on Catherine Zeta-Jones was wonderful ... hilarious and said everything I wanted to hear about this self important woman! Sausage and Mash was HILARIOUS even though I have never seen its inspiration! Bravo, Girls! Jennifer, Leeds
Hello Dawn and Jennifer! I just wanted to say that the Christmas special was - as usual - brilliant! I laughed so much, you don't want to know! I think the best parts were the Britney & Madonna and the White Stripes bit! You did it so well! Keep up the good work. Mira, Holland
I just loved the show!! especially the Madonna and Britney part, it was really funny :) Jill, Belgium
Rosemary and Thyme take off was bloomin' hilarious. Made my Christmas. Madonna and Britney as well. Excellent. Just wish F&S were on as much as they used to be. Rosie, Oxfordshire
Just watched the show and had to let you know how brilliant it was. I'm spending the holidays on my own and this has been the first time I've laughed out loud. Thank you. xxx Anne Chalmers, Kent
Fantastic! Catherine Zeta-Jones has never lived like she lived tonight! And Jennifer in the Poo Stripes... phooooaaaaaaar!!! Fred
Seeing Jon Plowman dressed up as a 1970s policemen disguised as a BBC security guard was definitely one of the highlights. The gals take on Britney and Madonna was equally brilliant. "Hey Britney!" just_the1dear, Colchester
