dune Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 What a load of b/llocks. It comes to something when the highlight of the festive period is fat Pat keeling over.
Turkish Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 We need to bring back the traditional James Bond film after christmas top of the pops.
Hatch Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 It's crap, no live sport either. What is one supposed to do.
dune Posted 25 December, 2011 Author Posted 25 December, 2011 (edited) Aha. ITV 1 now. My favourite cartoon film as a nipper, but not the same now. And it reminds me of work. The latest thing is "merlin" which is another nine day wonder buzz initiative where you have to put yourself into the future and then look back on how you achieved where you are. I have to deal with all this sh/t every day and pretend it's genius. Why it can't just be called forward planning I don't know. Edited 25 December, 2011 by dune
pap Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 Boys - it is 2011. One has more opportunities to entertain oneself than at any point in the past. We are never going to have another "omg - they're putting Star Wars on the telly" moments.
dune Posted 25 December, 2011 Author Posted 25 December, 2011 FFS i'm now on SKY News having just spent 10 minutes watching quest and learning how petrol tanks are made. FFS this is sh/t. And now it's adverts.
Jonnyboy Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 Thought you'd love the Downton Abbey xmas special.
dubai_phil Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 FFS i'm now on SKY News having just spent 10 minutes watching quest and learning how petrol tanks are made. FFS this is sh/t. And now it's adverts. Ah you should have kept scanning. There was a monster 6 episode back to back run of Deadliest Catch on Discovery Showcase HD Europe today................ The whole build up and sad passing of Phil Harris & then the fall-outs. Nice happy Xmas viewing. (Note I only was able to comment as my 18 year old Video tape of The Great Escape finally gave up the ghost this afternoon) (Probably the Sprout fumes)
OVER THE HILL Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 The Queens speech for all those people that still look up to royalty.
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 Even Virgin XL was crap. Movies on Demand? Pah. Load of ******** on demand more like. Still, bottle of Pinot Grigio, bottle of Fleurie down and now onto a case of cider. The match tomorrow will, I believe, resemble my son's Nintendo 3DS with one eye closed.
dune Posted 25 December, 2011 Author Posted 25 December, 2011 The Queens speech for all those people that still look up to royalty. I'm sure your sort are loving back to back hour long episodes of Emmerdale, Coronation Street and Eastenders.
SuperMikey Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 Dr Who was sh!te unfortunately, i'm a big fan too. Royle Family is on at some point though to pick things up.
dune Posted 25 December, 2011 Author Posted 25 December, 2011 Dr Who was sh!te unfortunately, i'm a big fan too. Why does this not surprise me?
OVER THE HILL Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 I'm sure your sort are loving back to back hour long episodes of Emmerdale, Coronation Street and Eastenders. No but I have got a superb DVD of the "Battleship Potemkin".
pedg Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 Easy choice at 9. BBC1: Eastenders, plague avoidance activated ITV: Downturn Abbey: Ditto but on: BBC2: Spirograph,Meccano etc in another permutation of how to tie old footage of toys and interviews into a cheap christmas program. Winner!
Jonnyboy Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 Dr Who was good last year - only cos of Catherine Jenkins! (Schwing)
dune Posted 25 December, 2011 Author Posted 25 December, 2011 Well Eastenders has certainly been cheery and pat isn't even dead yet.
SuperMikey Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 Why does this not surprise me? I suppose you're too cool for Dr Who. How's your turkey escalope for one treating you?
dune Posted 25 December, 2011 Author Posted 25 December, 2011 I suppose you're too cool for Dr Who. How's your turkey escalope for one treating you? Are you watching BBC 1 now?
dune Posted 25 December, 2011 Author Posted 25 December, 2011 At least Benidorm is on at 11.20. My favourite modern comedy. I think it's a repeat though.
latter day saint Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 dr who is horrific do you still have to hide behind the sofa ?
SuperMikey Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 Are you watching BBC 1 now? McIntyre could be used as a method of torture. I was mildly tempted to watch the programme because Sean Lock was on it, but gave it a miss in favour of another glass of red and watching some Alan Partridge on my laptop. All the best 'christmas' TV is on after christmas though, Charlie Brooker's 2011 Wipe is on Dec 30th and Royle Family is on tomorrow (I presume so anyway - I thought it was on this evening!). dr who is horrific do you still have to hide behind the sofa ? It's a last-minute winner for Post of the Year!
SuperMikey Posted 25 December, 2011 Posted 25 December, 2011 Just checked - there's no Royle Family on this year! F*cking rubbish. The BBC have been trailing with Royle Family clips as well for this year!

You didn't miss much, Sean Lock was as good as ever but only on for about 5 minutes, Mcintyre was his usual incredibly unfunny self and now having to endure that fat c*nt James Cordon and the horse faced Miranda dancing to i had the time of my life. All it all, pretty horrific.

I don't think the BBC could have picked a bigger conglomeration of people I hate to appear on one programme - McIntyre, Corden, Hart, Brydon (albeit to a lesser extent than the other 3)...
SB Posted 26 December, 2011 Posted 26 December, 2011 Some of you come across as boring old farts! however Yes Dr who was shockingly shvt, this years TV line up however has been better than the previous years in my opinion..
