According to my Facebook no uk based channel has the rights to show it. It's also not on Netflix or Amazon Prime. The only way is if you have the DVD which we thankfully do Smile

I think Sky own the rights to it.

BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington · 09/12/2016 15:44

It's not one of my faves though so I'll be okay!

smEGGnogg · 09/12/2016 15:46

I recorded it onto my sky+ last year

Twooter · 09/12/2016 15:48

We have the dvd too thankfully

DramaInPyjamas · 09/12/2016 15:52

I absolutely hate it. I really don't get the fuss and I have the Xmas movie channels on 24/7 in December and watch any old shite.

Does that mean I fail at Christmas? Sad

hippoesque · 09/12/2016 15:54

What the fuck... really regretting getting rid of the DVD player right now

CelticPromise · 09/12/2016 19:06

It's on Google play, or it was when I looked.

SaltyBitch · 09/12/2016 19:08

Don't believe that for a second.

MrsHathaway · 09/12/2016 19:09

It's on Sky for download.

I loathe Will Ferrell so won't be watching it, mind!

On the other hand, DC have watched The Grinch two and a half times this week. 🔫

MrsHathaway · 09/12/2016 19:11

Nope, under Christmas classics or something. Next to the bastard Grinch.

WellErrr · 09/12/2016 19:12

Noooooooo!!

Mummyreindeerlegz · 09/12/2016 19:13

I worked this out too. Amazon and iTunes will let you download it apparently. Sky have the rights and have done this before and put it on a few days into January.

NoelHeadbands · 09/12/2016 19:18

I like it, but it's not become one of my must sees

TheBogQueen · 09/12/2016 19:19

The Christmas magic thieves

Xmas Grin

I think we should riot

OnlyHereForTheCamping · 09/12/2016 19:21

It is a pile of shite so hurrah for that

MrsHathaway · 09/12/2016 22:15

I apologise: I can't find it now. I could have sworn it was there the other day, as I spent bloody ages a few seconds moaning about it.

Watch It's A Wonderful Life instead. Funnier and nicer.

Justmuddlingalong · 09/12/2016 22:18

That's it official, this country has finally gone tits up. The TV programmers are all cottonheadedninnymuggins. Xmas Grin

ThoraGruntwhistle · 09/12/2016 22:25

The main thing is, Muppets Christmas Carol is on Christmas Eve. So all is well with the world.

MrsHathaway · 09/12/2016 22:51

It's in the singing of a street corner choir ...

OSETmum · 09/12/2016 23:06

It's not on my sky either.
