[TV] Christmas telly FFS!!

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Can we have Miranda as well? Can we? Can we?

Dunno if she's still in that Call The Midwife thing, but THAT'S on. So your wish may well be granted

Calling @Dr no

I have never watched it but seen clips and can't imagine enjoying watching Mrs Brown's Boys. However something like 9 million people will tune in making it probably the most watched thing on Christmas Day so you can see why it is on. As others have said, don't turn on or tune into one of the other (many) channels.

Hey,careful now..nothing wrong with the Krankies,fandabbydosey!!....only joking..!!

There's plenty wrong with a guy getting his mrs to dress up as a school boy for fun.

When I was told the Krankies were actually husband and wife, and that "wee Jimmy" was a fully grown adult woman, that absolutely BLEW my tender adolescent mind. It was up there with finding out that Boy George was a bloke.

Confusing times.

What ?



It was only after he died that I realised that Freddie Mercury was gay. I just thought he was flamboyant.

Yep. Bizarre thing to be bleating about I reckon.

 

[DumLum]

I can't believe people see sitting in front of a tv as an option over Christmas.

It used to be something to share as a family. These days the kids will all be watching something different on their tablets anyway.

Likewise

I also had no idea George Michael was gay during his Wham and Faith days. But then most blokes wore more eyeliner and hairspray than the women back then, so it was quite hard to tell, to be fair.

TV's for 'tards, let there be music and much merriment

 

[Stuart Munday]

How can anybody moan about Christmas TV, personally I cant wait for the following-

The Best Christmas Food Ever.

This regular 45-minute cooking show brings together two top chefs and a celebrity guest as they serve up three recipes worthy of the Christmas table, guests include Debbie McGee, Christopher Biggins and Love Actually star Martine McCutcheon.

All Together Now Celebrities.

A group of famous faces – not exactly known for their singing abilities – will be hoping to make an impact on the 100 music industry experts. But who will succeed in getting the most on their feet and singing along?The likes of Gemma Collins, Chris Kamara, Alison Hammond, Laurie Brett, Ben Foden, Amber Davies, Omid Djalili, Sara Pascoe and Tyger Drew-Honey will be hoping to impress the 100 with their singing skills.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I can't see what the problem is. 9 m people love this show so why deprive them of the enjoyment when you have about 400 other channels to watch ?It is not great but not as bad as some people make out. I might watch it, I might not but am not going to apologise to nsc if I do. Merry Xmas

 

[Albion in the north]

Aaah... The annual "Mrs Browns Boys" is shite thread! Merry Christmas everyone!


And yes... It is shite

 

[Lady Whistledown]

go to North Korea and watch their Christmas TV - highlight is "the best rants of Kim Jong Un."

Each to their own, of course, but I can personally state that I'd sooner watch a rolling hour-long loop containing highlights of the Dear Leader and the Great Successor discussing the triumphant development of a nuclear defence strategy for the Democratic People's Republic than fifteen minutes of Mrs Brown's Boys.

 

[SockMonster]

I assume that "Its a Wonderful Life", "The Snowman" and "The Great Escape" will be on somewhere. That'll do for me.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

PS: I know the Dear Leader is long dead, but he recorded it before he died and they play it every Christmas in Pyongyang. It's their Morecambe & Wise.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

I assume that "Its a Wonderful Life", "The Snowman" and "The Great Escape" will be on somewhere. That'll do for me.

And Mary Poppins on New Years Day, hopefully

What’s on telly at Christmas just doesn’t ever feature in my thoughts. So many other fun things to enjoy!

I look forward to how I’m gonna hate being held captive with my extended family, or how I’m gonna avoid a brisk Boxing Day walk to somewhere sh1t full of w@nkers.

Oh I remember those days

The Snowman is on C4. Its a Wonderful Life and The Great Escape are definitely on Sky's film / on demand / channels. No confirmation that they will be anywhere else yet.
Full schedules aren't announced until end of next week.
