Christmas tv

[Holothane]

Saw on Twitter now get this the bbc is showing exactly the same as last year only different times by about 2 minutes. This is utter garbage and itv wont be much better. I’m watching call the midwife at eight then will put my own films on, utter crap from all the channels as per usual.

Oooh is the Christmas radio times out?

Here you big look at this white.

It comes out on the 7th I think.
You might as well have saved last year's copy.

I guess programme making was held up by the lockdowns last year and in the first half of this year. So new material is thin on the ground.

I'm adding 'christmas tv' to the things covid has made a bit more shit.

There may also be an increase in pointless celebrity tours of britain...

Dawn French visits various Ikeas. Michael Palin travels from Aberdeen to Zennor by bus...

New Years Eve Stranger things, don’t watch tv on nye. It’s crap.

It isn't the same programmes as last year. That is utter rubbish. This years Strictly has different contestants than last years Strictly. It is a different show. Likewise the other shows during peak viewing times. You might as well complain that the BBC is showing the Queens speech AGAIN. You might as well complain that in a TV series the second show is a repeat of the first, and the third is a repeat of the second. Usual Daily Mail anti BBC rubbish that you find on social media.

I don’t care who the contestants are, it’s the shows I’m on about not whose in them fine you watch crap if if you like. Sorry I bothered now.

@ChewDog well obviously they aren't the same episodes ... but it s a bit fucking shit that the EXACT SAME SHOWS are on each year.

I'm looking forward to the Christmas special of Ghosts on 23rd

I can get on board with yearly Chrotms Day episodes of Eastenders and the Queens Speech.

But really - they only have ONE quiz show to choose out of the entire BBC? Only ONE comedy series? They have so little i their corporation and back catalogue, they're showing a repeat of the same show as last year? They genuinely couldn't think of a SINGLE other christmas late night comedy to put on...

it's wither lazy broadcasting, or the audiences are so dumbed down/complacent that this is what is popular nowadays...

Do you work at the bbc? Or are you just confrontational about everything for the sake of it?

Oooh

I do look forward to the Christmas specials of some shows, but rarely watch them as they are broadcast. Fortunately most people have many more viewing choices!
And I wonder how many people would complain if they mixed the schedule and programming up a bit? Loads.
