Buying Christmas presents for TV fans should be easy. Unfortunately, they've already watched every episode, own the box set and can quote entire scenes from programmes that haven't been on television for twenty years.
That's where we come in.
Our collection of Christmas gifts for fans of cult TV shows is packed with original T-shirts, TV-inspired football shirts and gifts celebrating some of the greatest comedies, dramas and cult programmes ever to appear on the small screen.
From classic British comedy and alternative humour to groundbreaking American drama, science fiction and gloriously nostalgic television, you'll find designs inspired by much-loved shows alongside the sort of obscure references that only a fellow fan will understand.
Whether you're shopping for someone who still quotes Father Ted, has watched Breaking Bad three times or believes British comedy peaked sometime around 1992, we've got you covered.
TV Gifts That Aren't Another Box Set
Forget novelty mugs, character figurines and another DVD collection for somebody who no longer owns a DVD player.
Our TV-inspired designs are made for people who genuinely love their favourite programmes, with fictional companies, locations, characters, quotes and in-jokes that reward the sort of person who's watched every episode far too many times.
Perfect for husbands, wives, dads, mums, brothers, sisters, mates and anyone else who insists that television simply isn't as good as it used to be.
Find them something they'll actually want to wear this Christmas.

Classic British Comedy
| Blackadder II: Edmund Blackadder Football Shirt |
 |
| A cunning Christmas present for fans of one of Britain's greatest sitcoms. Inspired by Edmund Blackadder's Elizabethan attire and packed with references including the Bank of the Black Monks of St. Herod and Baldrick's Turnip Surprise, there's plenty here for a proper Blackadder fan to discover. |
| Fawlty Towers: Basil Fawlty Football Shirt |
 |
| For anyone who knows that running a Torquay hotel is considerably easier without the guests. A suitably chaotic tribute to Basil Fawlty and one of the most endlessly quotable British sitcoms ever made. |
| Only Fools and Horses Football Shirt |
 |
| This time next year, they'll be millionaires. Until then, this Only Fools and Horses-inspired football shirt should make a lovely jubbly Christmas present for anyone who still dreams of doing business with Trotters Independent Trading Co. |
Alternative Comedy
| Bottom: Richie Richard Football Shirt |
 |
| A gloriously juvenile tribute to Rik Mayall and Ade Edmondson's anarchic 90s comedy. Based around the Lamb & Flag pub team, it's an ideal gift for anyone who thinks Christmas television could be improved by considerably more violence involving frying pans. |
| The Young Ones Football Shirt |
 |
| For anyone whose comedy education involved Rick, Vyvyan, Neil and Mike destroying a student house in increasingly inventive ways. A brilliantly nostalgic Christmas gift celebrating one of the programmes that changed British comedy forever. |
| Alan Partridge Football Shirt |
 |
| Back of the net! A Christmas present for anyone who knows their Ladyboys from their Monkey Tennis and considers a trip to a Norwich Travel Tavern a perfectly acceptable mini-break. Lovely stuff. |
Modern British Comedy
| Peep Show Football Shirt |
 |
| For the person who has spent far too much time inside the heads of Mark Corrigan and Jeremy Usborne. A suitably awkward Christmas gift inspired by one of the funniest and most painfully recognisable British sitcoms of the 21st century. |
| The Inbetweeners Football Shirt |
 |
| Briefcase not included. This football-shirt tribute to Will, Simon, Jay and Neil makes a suitably inappropriate Christmas present for anyone who still finds themselves quoting The Inbetweeners at every available opportunity. |
| Phoenix Nights Football Shirt |
 |
| Take them back to the Phoenix Club this Christmas with a football-shirt tribute to Peter Kay's much-loved Bolton comedy. Perfect for anyone who prefers their festive entertainment with working men's clubs, questionable cabaret and Brian Potter in charge. |
Cult Sci-Fi & Fantasy
| Doctor Who: Tenth Doctor Football Shirt |
 |
| Allons-y! Inspired by David Tennant's hugely popular Tenth Doctor, this shirt features references to Gallifrey, the Cult of Skaro, U.N.I.T., the Master and even the Weeping Angels. A Christmas present with enough detail to keep a dedicated Whovian busy until New Year. |
| Buffy the Vampire Slayer Football Shirt |
 |
| Christmas shopping can be hell. Fortunately, there's a Slayer for that. A distinctive tribute to Buffy Summers and the inhabitants of Sunnydale, perfect for anyone who spent the late 90s worrying about vampires, demons and whatever was lurking beneath the high school. |
| Red Dwarf: Dave Lister Football Shirt |
 |
| A smegging good present for fans of Britain's longest-running cult space comedy. Featuring Jupiter Mining Corporation, Divadroid International and even blueprints of the ship itself, this Dave Lister-inspired shirt is packed with references for dedicated Dwarfers. |
Great American Drama
| Breaking Bad: Heisenberg Football Shirt |
 |
| Blue crystal pattern, Better Call Saul, Los Pollos Hermanos, A1A Car Wash and even the coordinates of Walter White's buried money – this shirt is absolutely loaded with Breaking Bad references. A brilliant gift for someone who knows that Heisenberg is the one who knocks. |
| The Sopranos Football Shirt |
 |
| For the person who still isn't entirely over that final scene. A football-shirt tribute to Tony Soprano and the New Jersey mob drama that helped redefine television, making it a Christmas present worthy of the boss of the family. |
| The Wire Football Shirt |
 |
| All the pieces matter – particularly when you're buying Christmas presents. A football-shirt tribute to the streets of Baltimore and one of the most acclaimed television dramas ever made, designed for the fan who knows that the game is the game. |
Cult American TV
| Twin Peaks: Dale Cooper Football Shirt |
 |
| A damn fine Christmas present for someone who likes their television served with cherry pie, black coffee and a healthy dose of unsettling surrealism. Inspired by Special Agent Dale Cooper and David Lynch's extraordinary cult classic. |
| Mad Men: Don Draper Football Shirt |
 |
| Madison Avenue meets the football pitch in this pinstriped tribute to Don Draper and the golden age of advertising. Featuring Madison Avenue F.C. and Sterling Cooper, it's a stylish Christmas gift for anyone who likes their television with sharp suits and sharper dialogue. |
| Bartlet for America T-Shirt |
 |
| For anyone who still wishes Jed Bartlet were on the ballot. A simple, instantly recognisable nod to The West Wing that makes an excellent gift for fans who would happily spend Christmas walking very quickly down a corridor while discussing public policy. |
Retro TV
| Columbo Football Shirt |
 |
| Just one more thing... this might be the Christmas present you've been looking for. Styled around Columbo's famous raincoat and packed with references including Carsini Wines, his favourite cigars, chilli and faithful basset hound Dog, it's a gift worthy of television's scruffiest detective. |
| The A-Team: B.A. Baracus Football Shirt |
 |
| We love it when a Christmas present comes together. Inspired by B.A. Baracus and the A-Team's unmistakable black, grey and red GMC van, this is pure 1980s television nostalgia in football-shirt form. |
| Old Grey Whistle Test T-Shirt |
 |
| A nostalgic gift for anyone who remembers when discovering new music involved staying up late and watching BBC Two rather than opening an app. A wonderfully understated tribute to one of Britain's most influential music television programmes. |
British & Irish Cult Favourites
| Father Ted Football Shirt |
 |
| Careful now. This Craggy Island-inspired shirt features the local creamery, Pat Mustard, a couple of confusingly sized cows and plenty more references to one of the most loved sitcoms of the 1990s. An ecumenical matter it isn't; a great Christmas present it certainly is. |
| People's Republic of Yorkshire T-Shirt |
 |
| A gift for anyone whose television tastes – and loyalties – lie firmly north of Watford Gap. A proudly Yorkshire design that should appeal to fans of classic northern television and anyone convinced God's Own County could manage perfectly well on its own. |
| Get Out My Pub T-Shirt |
 |
| For the soap fan who knows exactly how to deal with an unwanted visitor: point firmly at the door and tell them to get out of your pub. A brilliantly simple TV reference that makes a cracking stocking filler for anyone who has spent far too much time in Albert Square. |
