What’s Occurring? became festive
The games shifted toward Christmas, with the usually silent member of the team facing mince pies instead of the sort of challenge used at other times of year. Seasonal food was now functioning as sporting equipment.

A public vote on favourite television detectives and more classified-shopping material gave the show safer alternatives, but the attraction of wrapping something which clearly should not be wrapped was difficult to resist.
