Christmas TV

[Sparklingbaubles]

Pristine Christmas Radio Times. Check.
Highlighter pen. Check.
Major disappointment. Highly likely.

Am I wrong?

Downton Abbey, Christmas day ninght, 9pm.

Nuff said.

Ooh dee. Flicks to Christmas Day.

Should I risk AbFab? Scared of major disappointment there.

I have tos ay i was a tad disappointed. The only things that jumped out as a must watch are
Downton Abbey and Great Expectations. Oh and Dr Who

We are looking forward to the Christmas specials of:

Downton Abbey
Ab Fab
Dr Who

Are there any more?

Outnumbered I think-but that's lost it's shine for me a bit Line

Just spotted Boxing Day 9pm C4. Bear Grylls wild weekend with Miranda Hart.

Yes Sparkling I thought Outnumbered was gooing down the pan - although Auntie Alison is quite good value.

Seen a clip of AbFab of Eddie being chauffeur driven through what looks like Brixton doing a regal wave shouting out of the window "Wha' Gwan"

Ab Fab is only on for half an hour Christmas Day. Think there's another 2 on though at some point.

Royal Institution Christmas Lectures - long standing tradition from when we were kids - I like to watch these with my Dad

Looks like I'll be glued to the sofa for the festivities!

Yes *dweezle I like the sound of James Herriott (nostalgic) and The Borrowers, and definitely Great Expectations. Ooh and Bill Bailey. Not sure DH and the Dcs will join me though.
