It just seems to be christmas bloody specials all the time i.e who wants to be a millionaire xmas special, Stars in your eyes xmas special im surprised they havent got a bloody neighbours xmas special. Theres nothing new on same programmes just with xmas bloody special in the title. Not only do i have to pay for my tv licence and my telewest digital tv but now i have to go and rent a few films to watch as theres feck all on tv tonight.

i agree with you telly has been crap this year. two films thats on this afternoon were made in 1971. id like to know what we pay all this money for?

I've noticed it's been really crap too - not much in the way of good films although Minority Report was good last night on BBC1. That's it though. Thank the Lord I bought a playstation 2 for dh - we've had loads of fun with games on that!

sacrilege

Blandmum · 27/12/2005 13:57

The films have been better than last year though.

Glitterygook · 27/12/2005 13:57

True Pruni - I;m hooked on Resident Evil IV already!!

Glitterygook · 27/12/2005 13:57

what's been on mb? I've only watched minority report. Shrek was on wasn't it?

Blandmum · 27/12/2005 13:58

Philedephia story, sigh. I'm a sucker for oldies!

stitch · 27/12/2005 14:08

Hulababy · 27/12/2005 14:09

DD enjoyed Shrek 2, but we haven't watched much else. It's been dire!

tallulah · 27/12/2005 17:11

We've hardly watched tv at all this Christmas- it's been dire. (Had a wonderful Boxing Day in London visiting the Aquarium, walking along the Thames and ice-skating at Somerset House )

chestnutter · 27/12/2005 17:17

Agree it's all been rubbish ... apart from Eastenders which I nearly stopped watching a few weeks ago cos I was SO fed up with it

santasweetdreamer · 27/12/2005 17:21

yeah tv has been awful.

Glitterygook · 28/12/2005 16:39

Still crap innit?!
Last night there was absolutely nowt on!! We ended up playing Resident Evil IV on the PS2 till about 1am!!!

biglipskissinunderthemistletoe · 28/12/2005 16:41

Scrooge hadnt been on this year (or last year)... the one from the 70s as there was 3 wasnt it?

merrySOAPBOXingday · 28/12/2005 16:44

DH and I were talking about this last night - it really has been indescribably crap!

BournemouthBaubleBabe · 28/12/2005 16:44

Yep - rubbish rubbish rubbish. I know for a fact that Shrek was on last year as we had been lent a recorded dvd from last year with Shrek on the BBC, with the Christmas trailers!

Again, thank heavens for the PS2 we bought for ds, Lego Star Wars rocks!

TurkeyGang · 28/12/2005 16:55

We've been saying how bad it's been too!

I also hate those eternal lists of top 100 whatevers. Why do they keep on compiling them? Who is it that decides it all anyway? Who cares?

Glitterygook · 28/12/2005 16:56

agree turkeygang - just caught one today 'top 100 musicals'!! Bor-ring!!

TurkeyGang · 28/12/2005 16:57

I love musicals though. Why don't they just put one on?
