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 only appear for the first 5 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 onwards.
- 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.
