Christmas tv.

TV over Christmas...I work in retail...have the bare minimum time off.... Enjoy...hahaha

Next year if you grudge the cost of the Radio Times at Christmas see if they have an ofer on a subscription. I got 10 issues , including the Christmas one , for a pound. You have to remember to cancel the direct debit after the pound is taken to stop them claiming more money. I did it as soon as it was out of my account .
The papers give what is on TV anyway so I would not bother with the Radio Times again I just thought I would give it a try. I also got three copies of Delicious for £3 . Hope I can find some inspiration in them.

I've seen Outnumbered advertised, the children all grown up.
Delicious does look good, Sherlock (if it's not as odd as last years special) is another. Mrs Browns Boys. Doubt there will be much else to tempt, haven't looked at the listings even though OH picked up a magazine a couple of weeks ago. Lots of the same old films no doubt.
I was disappointed with Lady in the Van too, bought the dvd as so many people said how good & funny it was - not to me.

Isn't there meant to be a Christmas special of Outnumbered, or have I been living in a parallel universe (as usual)?

"DELICIOUS" on Sky1 looks good - Dawn French, Iain Glen, Emilia Fox. Starts on 30th.

Guess what - I don't normlly find anything to watch 350+ days a year and haven't found a single thing that appeals this year - anythng I would bother with is repeated day in day out and having been through RT from cover to cover I can see myself settling down with my computer to play WOW and maybe reading my library book. May even clear the 2000+ old e-mails, catch up with my studying and make a start with my annual NYR of getting back into comping. I'm hoping that my big present this year will be a sewing maching, so may order some sewing bits ant pieces and try to get to the market before Xmas to find some nice material. Bah Humbug!!! Enjoy your watching, folks - hope you find lots of programmes to suit you all.

No. ..... I ENJOYED those films. Sorry forgot to read my post through!!!

Sorry but certainly don't yearn for Eric and Ernie. Loved them at the time but really they come across as so controlling and always trying to steal the lime light. I annoyed both Pride and The Lady in the Van and look forward to many of the other programmes mentioned by others. I hope to have a good stock of recorded programmes to watch in the New Year when my son and family fly off to Australia (. Hopefully just for a few years!)

Saw Woman in a Van on DVD from the library and I have to say we were both disappointed. I love Alan Bennett and Maggie Smith but for us this film just didn't meet expectations.
Sorry!?

Ethel and Ernest by Raymond Briggs?

How to tame your Dragon 1 & 2 they are enchanting. No, I haven't seen Frozen, and am doubtful I shall either. but then I haven't seem Bambi either!

Call the Midwife for me!

Oh how I yearn for the Morecambe and Wise and other greats around in the 70's and 80's. Call me old fashioned and not in the real world but I deplore the language used in the name of humour in many of todays programmes
I recently watched a series on What was Allowed in the 70's.
One of the presenters in shock horror exclaimed
'What the F--- that is disgusting' when one of those in a comedy programme hit another on the head with a frying pan.
Catch my drift?

Just started watching Criminal Minds from Series 1 so that will be on my tv if nothing else on. Lady in a Van - I've wanted to watch that for ages. Last Tango in Halifax is a must, Coronation Street & Emmerdale as always. Mrs Brown's Boys.

Don't tend to plan much unless I'm going out, get my tv guide with Saturday/Sunday papers - thrown out re-cycled several already

Must see: Call the Midwife, Last Tango in Halifax, Grantchester, The Sally Wainwright drama about the Bronte sisters, Father Brown, Coronation Street, Christmas University Challenge, Mrs Brown's Boys, The Real Marigold on Tour .... yes I have developed square eyes as my mum used to say!

Haven't seen the listings but there is only one programme that is a must for Christmas and that's Dr Who.

Must see Captain Philips it will be good because Tom Hanks stars and to my knowledge he's never made a bad film. Also it's based on fact so that's always a bonus.

looking forward to The last Dragon Slayer

One Christmas Day, a few years ago, my daughter and I sat and watched episodes of Criminal Minds back to back all day long. It was great! (Maybe we were influenced by the champagne)

I am enjoying the Lucy Worsley (wives of Henry 8th) series at the moment . Could watch programs like that back to back all day.

£4.50 for the Christmas Radio Times is a bit steep and it finishes before New Year. Not much to highlight either.
Gransnet is a better source for what to watch.
I have set the recorder for The Bishop's Wife, Greyduster

Looking forward to catching up with all the good stuff during the week between Christmas and NY when all the visitors have gone.

I love a good old telly binge.

I've had a busy week but I did get the Christmas issue of tv listings - just haven't had time to look through it yet! I'm pleased to hear Lady in the Van is on, as I borrowed it from my local library some months ago but the dvd 'stuck' partway through. I got my money back but would rather have seen the whole film. Now I can

I'm looking forward to that too Pittcity nothing much else taking my fancy though. Maybe Last Tango in Halifax but that about it so far.

The Real Marigold on Tour looks interesting. In the clip Miriam M meets a US pensioner who has had 10 facelifts!
