Self Esteem's dress 😳

It's not the same as usual. I used to love the big clock and mortal pub landlord.

All seems about sedate.

So sedate. I've only had one glass of fizz. Full of lurgy so not drinking much just taking lots of ibuprofen and paracetamol.

I switched to the fireworks and ever-happy Sam. I've watched Jools every NYE forever, but the whole thing seemed very subdued and an odd line up this year (more so than usual).

CarolDunne · 01/01/2023 00:26

Probably to do with the queen?

Is that why they are all wearing black?

Allmyarseandpeggymartin · 01/01/2023 00:26

Right load of bollocks, we watched the real
thing and then defected to Sam

TooBigForMyBoots · 01/01/2023 00:29

I'm loving Sam. Was dancing like a maniac to Shake It Of💃

Flavabobble · 01/01/2023 00:30

What's the point of it - is understand if it was live bits it's recorded weeks ahead. I'd sooner watch something like that live.

SoManyCreepyBears · 01/01/2023 00:32

We lasted until Gabrielle then admitted we were all bored and watched the fireworks. First time in about twenty years that we haven’t seen the new year in with Jools.

Deadringer · 01/01/2023 00:33

Dh insists on watching it every year, christ it's boring.

figrollmop · 01/01/2023 00:33

New Year wouldn't be the same without Jools Holland, Ruby Turner and Jim (Vic Reeves) for me!

ScornedChicken · 01/01/2023 00:36

Was a bit bland this year. Gabrielle's song-dreams is on, worth the wait.

DirectionToPerfection · 01/01/2023 00:42

Sam has been fantastic, far more enjoyable than Jools this year.

cheapskatemum · 01/01/2023 00:45

We've been switching between the 2: DH like Lewis Capaldi. I like Self Esteem.

I've just turned over and pressed the green button. God he's amazing. I'd love to hear him sing queen.

Dh hadn't heard of Sam. He's well impressed.

Well this is depressing

superdupernova · 01/01/2023 01:04

Such a strange line up this year. Most of the song choices were all a bit depressing.

KenAdams · 01/01/2023 01:44

I find it dull every year, on par with Mrs Brown's Boys for me.

Byfleet · 01/01/2023 01:46

I found it dull this year too. I missed Lulu. She was great last year!

Tom Odell was lovely, but also the kind of music to herald in the new year by jumping off a building.

EachandEveryone · 01/01/2023 02:00

I just knew they would do Enjoy Yourself so I flicked over for that. Do you think it was filmed before or after poor Terry Hall? I love Roland Gift.

You could almost feel the atmosphere. Like a party you really want to leave. So I left. Sam though 😳
