And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot

Yes, cutting anything from Planes, Trains and Automobiles is plain wrong.
Most of the Beeb stuff is shite, but I love Ghosts, a continuation of Horrible Histories, which for years was the funniest thing on the Beeb hidden away on kids telly.
If you've watched it from the start and don't agree, fine, but don't say it's crap if you have only seen one episode...
Just watched the remake of Tinker Tailor with Gary Oldman - seen this and the orginal many times. Both superb and deserve to be considered individually as masterpieces.
They keep producing rubbish like Mrs browns boys or tv Christmas specials with Greg Wallace and his adventures of watching paint dry in a factory in grimsby.
Then wonder why tv viewing figures are decreasing year on year.
The rise of Netflix etc is a big reason for the fall in viewing figures, so much more choice. We rarely watch live TV any more, Christmas or otherwise.
This is also likely to lead to less effort being made by the TV channels at Christmas if the returns on this type of investment are diminishing, which I assume they are.
Name something more unfunny than Mrs Brown’s Boys.

Motherland? All the jokes come with a huge flashing yellow light and a siren on them in case you miss them. Makes Miranda look like the work of Tom Stoppard. Mrs Sheen’s favourite!
We actually stuck it on last year or year before having not watched for 20 years and wouldn’t you just know it Phil had fallen off the wagon and Sharon had been putting it about a bit.

Although Motherland is filmed at Southfield School where i used to go and my Mum worked there until last year
Wonderful. I'm off to the boxing day sales tomorrow I think one of those or a PRS Silver sky could be coming home with me.
Continuing on said tangent, here is my guitar. I bought it when my Squier Stratocaster became so worn that I was through the plastic covering in some areas, with the bare wood showing.
When I was looking for a new guitar, I discovered that my playing style had become so inflexible that I couldn't cope with two dual coil pickups, they got in the way of my strumming.
Still, the model I bought - basically, the entry level Fender - is very easy to play. If I keep practising, in 1000 years, I might be reasonable.
Someone mentioned "Hey Joe" well, coincidentally, I have been teaching myself that for some time. Hendrix' version is actually a cover version, it was written by Billy Roberts. I'm also teaching myself "Nantucket sleighride" by Mountain, a beautiful song to play* with lots of colourful lead parts and unusual chords.
* If played competently
Back on topic - for those of you still awake - "Alone: Frozen" has been good so far because in this series, veterans of previous series start their 50 day solo survival mission in Labrador when the winter has already started, giving them no time to build up their food stocks and perfect their shelters. We've already had one contestant settling down for the night to the sound of wolves howling nearby
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
You have a choice of prizes: A teasmade, a full set of steak knives or a footspa.

Haven’t watched any soaps for nigh on twenty years. Looking at the trailers for Eastenders is depressing enough . It seems more like an ordeal than a viewing experience. Thought Greg Davies in “ the cleaner” was pretty decent. Well worth a watch.

Merry Xmas to you all!
Couldn’t agree more on Ghosts. Try the American version . It takes a while to get going but it is pretty decent.
As I said earlier in this thread - TV lowers people's standards. George Orwell predicted that TV would have a deleterious effect on society, and that was when TV was relatively respectable.
…..and further, I've never really known if TV is making people stupid or do the programmers know that a lot of people are stupid, so make the shows to suit. I dunno.
I take ( some of ) it back. Just watched Tutti Frutti with the great Robbie Coltrane starring and Zoot Money as musical director. I guess TV was a bit better back then. A lot better..
I have a theory that TV executives gather around a large table with a blank sheet of paper and pen and ask the question ‘which programmes do men genuinely hate’.

That then becomes the Christmas Day TV schedule.
ITV3 has back to back Carry Ons.
