What good tv have I missed this Christmas?

So with children and a fair amount of family around this Christmas I have missed most of the festive tv.

I have an evening to watch something decent on catch up. What has been worth while watching please. Don’t do soaps or anything violent or scary. Any recommendations??

Chris Addison not being quite as clever as he thinks he is on University Challege was quite funny. Looking forward to catching up on Shaun Ryder on Mastermind. The mind boggles.
Quite tempted by Click and Collect now. Have recorded King Gary.

The Dead Room and ABC Murders are clearly not the OP’s cup of tea, but we’re quite good if you do like scary/violent.

Bob Monkhouse: The Last Stand on BBC4 - it's on iplayer. It's a mixture of stand-up, chat and reminiscences before an audience of fellow comics. It turned out to be his last show before he died of prostate cancer. It's a revelation if you think he was just a cheesy gameshow host

We really enjoyed Click & Collect. Nothing else was up to much to be honest, we've just been watching films on Sky Cinema.

I thought I was going to enjoy 96 Hours in Jordan, but I turned it off. David Baddiel and Richard Ayoade were so self absorbed and disrespectful. Such a shame.

The Bros documentary on iplayer. All the Only Connect specials.

The Catchphrase celebrity special! Michael Ball was hilarious and sexy

Thank you Christine had forgotten about Bros. Will watch it now

The only thing I bothered to watch on catchup was Call the Midwife. Pretty much everything else was crap.

Trollied, with Cheryl and Gavin's wedding was funny!

I've just watched the Bros documentary on iplayer and it was very good. Never liked Bros, but have had my share of sibling rivalry so found it quite moving!

longwayoff · 29/12/2018 15:28

Just finished Bros as well. Not ex fan, know nothing about their music so watched to see sibling dynamics really. Found it very interesting though felt sorry for the other musicians, divas!
