Christmas tv.

Oh bugger! I wanted to watch that.

Maigret read the books in the 60s loved the series with Rupert Davies, Michael Gambon not sure about Rowan Atkinson but the first episode was beautifully filmed in Budapest but took me back to the Paris of the 60s/70s so I look forward to watching this.

I've watched Nativity! and Nativity2! the last two weeks and they have been brilliant! I've got Porridge Christmas Special recorded from 1975 so will enjoy that. I'm trying to avoid all the gushy Channel 5 films, so obvious the plots. I do love the quiz specials though too, looking forward to them. QI has been fabulous with Sandi on, very funny, and Have I Got News last week was funny with a handbag as a guest!

There is a programme on about the Bronte sisters 'To Walk Invisible' on BBC1 on 29th Dec. That should be interesting.

Sherlock, Woman in a Van, Grantchester. Otherwise not too excited. Nothing can come up to Morecombe and Wise, but seen them so many times I know what's coming, I don't like comedians who use foul language so it limits the field a bit. I find the use of really bad swear words and obscene language insulting to me as a viewer, so it limits what I do watch.

I thought Nativity 1 and Nativity 2 was brilliant too rubylady. I cam across them by accident, so had no idea whether they were new or old programmes.
I didnt catch all of the programmes, but the energy and talent of the kids was amazing. Very well casted.

I'm hoping that Peter Pan Goes Wrong (6pm on Hogmanay, I think) will be as funny as The Play That Goes Wrong, which IMO is the funniest play I've ever seen.

lady in the van, captain Phillips and pride. Have seen all but more than happy to watch them again. Anyone who hasn't seen Pride, have your Hankins at the ready.
