[TV] Christmas TV 2019

[Birdie Boy]

No ITV, bbc for me then.. I will record Gordon, Gino, Fred, Gavin and Stacey but that's it.

10:00 Christmas Day Mass in Motion

Featuring John Barnes present giving rap?

No wonder kids don’t watch TV.

The Chase?

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

It's so poor I find it funny.
NSC favourite McIntyre and Mrs Brown on the same day, but slightly funnier than Stanley Baxter to be fair to bygone Christmases.
1 hour of The Chase bloopers.
2 hours of soap.
There is not one programme on either channel I want to see.
So as usual the TV will be off all day as it has been for the past 5 years and it improves the day no end.

I was a shade dissapointed to see no All Star Family Fortunes and there was a rumour going around of a Londons Burning Christmas special but there is plenty still to get your teeth stuck into.

Kids (5-15) spend a lot of time online. (2 hours 11 mins a day)).
and time spent watching TV is in decline - yes - but "don't watch tv" - nope. They spend nearly 2 hours a day watching TV. (1 hrs 52 mins)

Then BBC go and trump them.....


19:00 Call the Christmas Midwife (R)

Call the Midwife on Xmas Day is actually not a repeat. Its a new 90 minute film set in the Outer Hebrides no less.

Apologies, my source was obviously incorrect, another one I’ve pencilled in to watch but clashes with Emmerdale Farm.

The never seen before Wallace & Grommit a close shave.
Christmas Day essential viewing.
Unless you happened to have stumbled across it on Gold yesterday at 4pm.

Still laughing at an hour of The Chase bloopers on Christmas Day.

I think this is going to be very, very funny Bradley Walsh is comedy gold, alongside Mrs Browns Boys I think it will be the one to go to for a few festive laughs.

I'm amazed that Local Celebrity Author Julia Donaldson has THREE of her stories showing on BBC One on Christmas Day...

Christmas TV gets worse every year. The best thing to do at this time of year is to switch it off for a week (other than for the football obviously).

The best bit of Christmas Day TV will be the start of the Boxing Day test match in Australia, as per usual

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

Things pick up on Boxing Day / 27th with every Prem game available to watch on Amazon..

Leicester v Liverpool aside that is a pretty rancid set of fixtures.

Just a heads up, Trace has started it's Christmas music channel on Sky channel 359 for those of you who are already aching for the Yuletide festivities to begin.

As have several pubs in Worthing with trees going up since the weekend! Even the supermarket yesterday had selection packs and tree decorations, and the kids are barely back at school.

I absolutely love Christmas. But I love it when it's Christmas. Not when it's still the cricket season.
