Xmas TV Specials - The Verdicts

[Nibble]

Watched Wallander. That was good. Didn't see anything else but I can report that it was all shit.

Oh, watched The Wrong Mans. That was quite good.

'Not Going out'.....I can't get enough of it, as Lee lives out my real life fantasy!

I saw the one which was a repeat of last year, in the haunted house and the one where he proposes and she says yes. Big mistake. The death of Frazier was when Niles got it together with Daphne.

I was so soo sooo disappointed at Miranda. Normally l adore her, saw her at the Brighton Centre this year, love her tv series, and everything else that she does.

But on Christmas Day, my God she was awful.

Just christmas day? She is awful full stop

We watched The Boy in the Dress earlier.

It was pretty good, but somewhat rushed when compared with the book.
Although it had all the written elements, for me it was all a bit superficial (spot the man trying not to say 'it had no depth'!)

Doctor Who - 8.5, best Christmas Special for years if not the best they've done.
Not Going Out - 7, have always loved this show and while the finale was mainly satisfying, considering the length of time this has been building up I thought the resolution was a bit easy.
Miranda - 3, very ropey. Staggering that she took nearly two years to come up with such a poorly scripted episode.

There was a script ?

"House of Fools" Christmas Special tonight.

Cuckoo. Just watched. Always good.

I despair of this country that anyone thinks miranda is funny. It's scares me more than the staggering number of people who aren't utterly embarrassed to vote UKIP.

Miranda is dreadful. How did she get on in life? I first saw her in a small role in series 2 of Nighty Night and she was funny, doing other people's material.

All i've read is that they have to break into Phil Collins' mansion. I'm in.

But of course, but X 2 as it was a Christmas Special.

Nothing worth watching not one thing but agree radio 4 has been quite good

Just watched episode one of Top Gear for the first time. I wish they showed less of that boring scenery and concentrated more on the completely spontaneous jokes and pranks! It amazes me why the hilarious Richard Hammond never became a comedian.

I'm so old I can remember it when it was a programme about cars, mind you, I'm also old enough to remember when MTV played music rather than counting the number of pairs of white trainers that certain rappers had in their walk in wardrobes.

We seem to be going through a renaissance of old school, deeply unfunny comedians in the UK. John Bishop, MM, Miranda, Lee Mack et al. Comedy swill.

Why you miserable so and so! ………………………….. completely spot on though!

I really want to like Vic and Bob but I'm afraid i have to stick my hand up and say that it is crap and mostly very unfunny. Matt Berry needs to bail out quick.

I like the comedians I listen to on the many podcasts I download each week....from the older variety such as sandi toksvig, Jeremy hardy on the news quiz, hugh dennis on the now show to my new fav josh widdicombe. have to say that josh seems to have managed to acquire jobs for all his mates on all the shows that he frequents.
