Christmas tv.

I'm underwhelmed from what I've heard there is nothing on any of the main
channels that is in any way new, there are lots of Christmas versions of
well known stuff, all probably made last July, and there is a Dr Who,
Sherlock which I find total crap, and what else?
All the so called well known celebrities and comedians do not make me
laugh, and most of them I've never heard of. mrs Browns boys is so stupid
its like watching some kind of rehersal with the swearing left in. Maybe
its me, but all this is just the same old tosh.



Time was when several video recorders were needed to store stuff and you
could be watching xmas stuff till easter, but not any more.

I like Sherlock but agree otherwise.

You could apply the process in reverse and record in advance of
Christmas.

Alan Bennett reading from his diaries ought to be amusing. Nowadays the
TV channels seem to put most of their dosh into buying blockbuster films
to screen over Christmas rather than commissioning their own programmes,
though.

That's why the RT is useful for finding the good stuff.

Only time we buy RT is Christmas/New Year. This year we will have to buy
two issues to cover the holiday period!

Indeed. Currently our PVR only has 6% spare disc space, so an ideal
opportunity is coming up.

It's nature's way of telling you that you didn't need to record the 94%.
