10. How Not To Live Your Life Its A Don-derful Life (BBC3, 2011)
In the last episode of the BBC3 series following the life of misguided, twenty-something orphan Don Danbury, Don attempts to confess his love for flatmate Sam while preparing to sell his house to a property developer. But can he really break up the bizarre family hes built up? This ones a strange candidate for being so high up on the list given that its only a year old and its a very niche comedy confined to BBC3, but the episode is so strong itself that it really didnt belong anywhere below the top ten. The series trademark cutaways showing various things that have either happened or could happen (e.g. 5 People Dons Spent Christmas With) are a bit scarce but its full of good moments elsewhere. Its a an excellent standalone episode as well as being a decent send-off for the series with a pair of great musical numbers and a show-stealing performance by Leila Hoffman (Bad Education) as foul-mouthed OAP Mrs Treacher. A worthy end to the series and a great Christmas episode. Best Moment: Don waking up in bed with Mrs Treacher.
