Simpsons are top Christmas choice

Cartoon favourites The Simpsons are the top choice for Brits to spend Christmas with, a survey has found.

Bumbling Homer and co were chosen by more than a quarter of the 1,500 voters in a poll, with MTV stars The Osbournes ranked in second place.

The poll - commissioned to promote The Events Show at London's Olympia on January 27 to 29 - placed work colleagues in third position.

People were asked who other than their own family would they like to spend the festive season with.

In fourth place were the royal family.

The Events Show brings together suppliers of products and services to the events industry.
