Hmmm not that good again is it

Has Miranda been on yet?

Royle family tonight, cannot wait!!

noisytoys · 25/12/2012 19:01

Call the midwife
Eastenders

HairyGrotter · 25/12/2012 19:03

Call the Midwife, and Downton Abbey. Very poor show this year, bugger all on!

Gumby · 25/12/2012 19:04

Room on the broom was excellent

SoleSource · 25/12/2012 19:08

What was it gumby? A kids show?

littleducks · 25/12/2012 19:08

Really? I thought it was crsp two yrs ago when they repeated 'The Gruffalo' despite it having been on the previous year.

We liked the snowman and snowdog and room on a broom. I watched tangled (dd was scared by it when it was released looks like she has grown up Sad) and am looking forward to Call the Midwife after kids arre asleep.

TidyDancer · 25/12/2012 19:13

Unless you're a soap fan, the only thing worth watching that's still to go is The Royle Family.

Really dislike Downton Abbey so that's off my list!

LineRunner · 25/12/2012 19:13

Well, there's my gurning juddering hero Brucie on Christmas Strictly.

He's already told Fabrice he's 'got rythym'.

VivaLeBeaver · 25/12/2012 19:13

Dr who was ok.

Looking forward to call the midwife and Downton.

Miranda is on tomorrow.

SugaricePlumFairy · 25/12/2012 19:15

Rubbish with a big fat capital R.!!

Our highlight was Toy Story after lunch today, still love it Xmas Grin

MyLittleAprilSunshine · 25/12/2012 19:16

The Royle Family is on, if you like that.
Presuming not an Eastenders fan, otherwise recommend that.

sarahseashell · 25/12/2012 19:16

YANBU

dementedma · 25/12/2012 19:19

Lots of things on that I like but thought Dr Who was utter shite.WTF was that all about?

LadyBeagleBaublesandBells · 25/12/2012 19:21

Struggling to find something too.
I gave up on the soaps a long time ago as they're so utterly depressing, and they up the ante at Christmas. Why would people on Christmas Eve and Night want to see death and divorce and downright misery?
I'll never get it.
I'm watching Lord of the Rings again for the umteenth time.
Isn't there a new Royle Family tonight?

MixedClassBaby · 25/12/2012 19:23

Agree. Pile of wank.

tigerdriverII · 25/12/2012 19:23

Unmitigated rubbish. 57 channels and nothing on, as the Boss says

degutastic · 25/12/2012 19:25

I liked Doctor Who... But I'm MS-biased Xmas Grin

Call the midwife in a few mins and Miranda tomorrow Xmas Grin

Other than that, yea it's been rubbish!

degutastic · 25/12/2012 19:27

that said, rubbish tv is a great excuse for me to watch my Star Trek TNG box set I was given this morning [geek]

Bunnygotwhacked · 25/12/2012 19:29

Absolute garbage. Have given up.

degutastic · 25/12/2012 21:25

I'd rather watch LOTR on dvd without adverts, but agree, totally great viewing Xmas Grin

cocolepew · 25/12/2012 21:28

ITV don't even try Shock bloody Emmerdale, Corrie then Emmerdale again Hmm

LouisWalshsChristmasCloset · 25/12/2012 21:32

Toy story was the highlight for me, even though iv'e seen it one million and one times.
And what have we got to look forward to? I saw an ad for a programme where Tom daley? teaches slebs how to swim Hmm ITV'll be needing a new barrel soon.
