What Christmas TV are you looking forward to?

[Thaiyogamassage]

Squid games season 2! Not out till tomorrow but I'm watching the 1st season again in preparation. Never got into Gavin and Stacey so not excited about that. What is everyone excited about?

You've missed this year's rerun of the Great Escape! My husband watches it every year. I don't know why - he has the dialogue off by heart now.

Strictly, Dr Who and Wallis and Grommit. My TV is going to do that passive-aggressive "are you still watching? You've left it showing the same channel for four hours straight, so unless you tell me otherwise I'm going to assume you've fallen asleep and turn myself off" thing that it does most Christmas Days.

Wallace & Gromit of course.

There’s a Here We Go Christmas special on iplayer if anyone likes that sort of silly cringy humour.

outnumbered boxing day 9 ish

Worlds Strongest Man. Been a tv tradition for a few years now.

The Split!

Gavin And Stacey
Outnumbered
Some Like It Hot this afternoon.
Had a lovely afternoon watching Doris Day films on BBC 2 the other day.

Me too! Kids always used to love it set in exotic locations like Victoria Falls. Happy memories.

The Mark Gatiss ghost thing Woman of Stone (BBC last night) I do think the title of the original E. Nesbit story (Man-size in Marble) takes some beating!

Wallace and Gromit
Tiddler to watch with DDs
Call the Midwife
Dr Who

I have never watched an episode of Gavin and Stacey as James Corden is an utter knob so I won't start watching it now.

There's a documentary about the making of Inside No 9 on iPlayer - I'm going to watch that. And the Mark Gatiss ghost thing that Uricon mentioned.

I've just watched a Christmas episode of Bluey (A Christmas Swim) - captures family christmas very well . . .

Oh and a CBBC thing - The Primrose Railway Children, based on a story by Jacqueline Wilson.

'There's a documentary about the making of Inside No 9 on iPlayer - I'm going to watch that.'

Watched it the other night, it was GREAT 👍

Thanks Lotta, looking forward to it!

Oh yes and I'm going to continue watching Strike - Ink Black Heart, just started it.
And Black Doves, started it then saved it for when I need a fast engaging watch!

I'd agree with you about CTM - but as long as we keep watching it, even with mixed feelings, the BBC will assume that we keep earnestly wanting more!

@StellaAndCrow yes, Ink Black Heart here too!

Call The Midwife
Eastenders. I'm a super fan, have watched from the very start. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea but...!
Hoping The Railway Children (original one from 1970) will show but haven't spotted it yet.

In particular, Doctor Who, Call the Midwife, All
Creatures Great and Small, Gavin and Stacey plus Festive pottery throwdown, First dates and doghouse Christmas specials

Thanks

Thank God I'm not the only one..I despair at the nation adoring this soap opera drivel. It's written by so called comedy writers (Ruth Jones and the awful James Corden, both narcissists) who should stick to doing comedy OTHER far wittier people write.

Misunderstanding a Welsh word as if it's English and making fun of it is playground comedy!

I don't care about any of these pathetic losers. I think the show is merely created to make other people feel better about their disappointing lives as I can't think of any other reason for the so-called "comedy."

Wallace and Gromit was also pants this year!! In his 60s now I think Nick Park is losing it thinking that this would appeal to adults.

Exactly. He's a classic narcissist.

'Thank God I'm not the only one..I despair at the nation adoring this soap opera drivel.'

We ended up watching the last 5 minutes of it and both burst out laughing at how bloody AWFUL it was! It's like a parody of a comedy. Such a great cast absolutely wasted on utter dross

LOL. Agree wholeheartedly.
BBC sycophantically interview these two "star" writers as if they're geniuses. They certainly aren't. And the BBC should be embarrassed parading this like it's the best thing since sliced bread.
Good riddance.

Best not to watch "making" shows. Then when you watch normally you will be thinking "ooo I wonder how they did that set, was it harder than in the making of prog".
Well I would...
