Any recommendations? Apart from a few exceptions, it seems predictable, lukewarm stuff to me. Why can they not put on some good foreign-made films to expand the horizons of people?

Lee Andersons Xmas Special at 8pm on GB News is going to be my highlight.

No Mrs Brown's Boys this year. Another reason to ditch the TV licence

Never watched it.

I’m aware of the basic premise, do I need to have watched others to enjoy this one?

Sort of. Just to know who the characters are

Skinny couple, fat couple plus parents, isn’t it?

You’ll be fine

Is Nigel doing a Christmas Message on GBeebies?

Darts.

Dislike Gavin and Stacey intensly. I hate James Corden, l can't understand how this untalented moron has got to where he has.

The Good Ship Murder Christmas edition has already been on, but I'm sure most can watch on catch-up TV. For those unfamiliar with the series, this is a stunning Channel 5 production. Set on board the Cruise Ship Virtuosa, a dastardly murder is committed every week ( neither the cruise line nor crew seem to find anything unusual about this it would seem and the captain barely raises an eyebrow when informed of the latest murder) Possibly, that's because they have every confidence that the resident cabaret singer, Jack Grayling, will solve the case. Despite the fact that there are generally at least 4 suspects on board with motive for murder, Jack always gets to the truth. Awful, doesn't come close to describing this drivel, but unfortunately, Mrs C is a big fan. Still, if you want a laugh.......

way back in 1982..they had both a Marx Bros film season as well as a Humphrey Bogart season on BBC2. Never been equalled at Christmasm Never.

Excellent to see Mrs Brown’s Boys is on

Always belly laugh after belly laugh. Greatest comedy sitcom since Only Fools IMO.

Last of a dying breed in that format since BBC comedy got ruined by the woke. Entertainment genius will always shine through.

No live darts till Friday

It has now become so fashionable to knock Gavin and Stacey…Why do people detest James Corden?

I think it deserves its institution status.

I thought James Corden gave a more restrained performance in Gavin and Stacey and was impressively mature in the latter stages of the drama.

Wallace and gromit was quality

Exactly.

Although, I think it was always ahead of its time in terms of woke. Giving just one example, it's pioneered trans representation in the British media landscape.

Lots of people have underestimated the boomer capacity for minority rights. Eventually their contributors progress may receive the recognition it deserves.
