What can I say? Other than, perhaps the best piece of Christmas related television ever! Spicks & Specks is always entertaining, but this episode was just special. Hilarious from start to finish (as always) and truly memorable. After all, who could forget seeing Adam kiss Hamish? It was totally insane, hugely funny and strangely heart-warming. Alan got his second chance. Good for him! Let's not forget some lame jokes that made it seem all the more Christmas-y. Also, there was some educational material thanks to Hamish I now know that burning CDs is illegal. And, oh yer, what WAS holding that trumpet up?!

- The songs for Substitute were sung by members of the Australian Children's Choir, and the words came from the highlights and lowlights of 2005. They were: Russel Crowe's Apology from the telephone incident, to the tune of We Wish You A Merry Christmas. Industrial Relations Legislation to the tune of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Quotes from George Bush from 2005, to the tune of Hark The Herold Angels Sing. The Lathum Diaries, to the tune of Away in a Manger. Score card from the Ashes 5th test, to the tune of 12 Days of Christmas. Bec's Poem to Layton from their wedding, to the tune of Silent Night. Edit
- At one point during the show, Alan Brough tells a story of when he was in kindy. He was meant to play the drum during The Little Drummer Boy but missed his cue, and never played the drum again. At the end of the show Adam Hills gives Alan a drum, and the chance to reprive his role when the entire cast sing The Little Drummer Boy Edit

Quotes
ADD QUOTES- (Following the Russel Crowe Substitute) Hamish: That was, of course, We Wish You a Merry Christmas. And I believe We Wish You is in brackets. Cause we need double points, being this far ahead Adam: Let me just check. (Picking up a phone as if to check with the judges) Yup, that's what I thought. Hamish, you need a life. Hamish: Yup. And, with the Russel Crowe thing, you should have thrown that at the kids. Edit
- Elf Scott: When they said "elf," I was thinking more of an Orlando Bloom sort-of look. Edit
- (After throwing cd's down a chimney) Hamish: Hope the guy living in the house doesn't light the fire. Because that's burning cd's which is illegal. Edit
