Rubbish Christmas Tv

[Pale Rider]

I quite enjoyed the latest Mary Poppins which was Sky's big Christmas film.

Not that any of the actors can dance anywhere near as well as Dick Van Dyke.

The original is worth watching for him alone.

Wow what's happened to good Tv at Christmas..
They always used to put a good afternoon film on the box.
Its Boxing Day and ITV 1 think Horse Racing is what families and Children would like to watch this afternoon.

To think as a kid i bemoaned the period when the beeb showed A Hard Day"s Night every year. Would love to see it again. A great feel good film.

It was on earlier this year, not sure which channel. Two Beatles films I'd love to see again are Yellow Submarine and Let it Be. Neither has been on TV for years.

The Snail and the Whale was this year's Donaldson/Scheffler adaptation and it was, as ever, an absolutely wonderful, lovingly crafted piece of television. Diana Rigg narrating, too.

World's Strongest Man starts tonight. Good enough for me!

I saw hard days night again on its cinema release sometime late nineties. At the end the audience clapped. Not often that happens.

Started watching Worzel Gummidge but gave up after 30 minutes. When the same bloke writes, directs, and is the main star in a production it is so often a bad sign. You need someone else on board who will tell them the script is a bit crap and over indulgent.

Hate to disagree but Scrooge on the 3 nights before xmas was fantastic...Mrs Browns Boys last night not so much.

I agree with the Christmas Carol, very good adaptation, but mrs browns boys??

I love the book, but any adaptation that starts with urinating on Marley's gravestone is not going go down well with me. The book is perfect and why they felt the need to take such liberties with it I don't know. I only watched the first episode though so maybe it improves.

Watched the Gavin & Stacey special last night...and again this morning Thought it was excellent (apart from the Pete doing drugs bit) despite some of the slatings it got. Love that show!
