Xmas TV

[Uncle Spielberg]

Got my Xmas TV guide yesterday and opened up Xmas Day and what is the " big " film to settle down and watch with a glass of Brandy on ITV in the afternoon .

Inspector Freekin Gadget

HO HO HO.

 

[Dave the OAP]

ITV is for common people

 

[Bozza]

You'll be playing the Wii like everyone else.

 

[Braders]

and let me guess - Indiana Jones and Toy Story on BBC , right?

 

[JJ McClure]

Luckily enough there are 100s of other channels to choose from then.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Even the TV film guide gave it 1 star out of 5.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

and let me guess - Indiana Jones and Toy Story on BBC , right?

At least they are both classics in their own right

 

[Braders]

US , i take it CLASSICS such as Father Christmas and The Snowman will get an airing, no?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The Snowman is a must, also White Xmas is on, happy days.

 

[crodonilson]

Is Steptoe and Son or On the Buses on at around 1am on boxing day morning on BBC??

 

[Eggmundo]

Is Steptoe and Son or On the Buses on at around 1am on boxing day morning on BBC??

No......

 

[Scotty Mac]

Is Steptoe and Son or On the Buses on at around 1am on boxing day morning on BBC??

never bother to check boxing day - be in LONDON at that point

i hope the tim allen version of the santa claus is on - hell, i hope all 3 of them are on. no doubt they will be on disney

 

[Shegull]

The Snowman is a must, also White Xmas is on, happy days.

But it has to be the Father "Bloomin" Christmas - the grumpy voice of Mel Smith and not the posh Father Christmas

 

[crodonilson]

No......

Well what is??
