To think Morecambe and Wise was the top show at Christmas for years !

Christmas TV used to be such a thing to look forwards to, especially Christmas Day.

Now, flicking through the channels you can hardly find anything that pricks your interest.

Looks very disappointing this year. Only thing I have down to record is Doctor Who and I do find all the Christmas ones to be way OTT, over produced and far too smaltzy.

Is there ANYTHING half decent on?

I'm another that has never seen it......cannot be arsed with sci-fi fantasy stuff whatsoever.

I also don't understand where people find the time to watch full box sets or catch up whole seasons of shows.......I struggle to fit in more than a few hours of TV per week.

From my limited viewing, I'd say Planet Earth was in a league of its own this year.

I thought Gotham was one of the best series.
I also liked the Last Kingdom and 1864.
Dave Gorman's Modern Life is Goodish is funny.
Vera is also a good detective series, very understated.

Edit. Wrong show..

Its about a group of people who happen to share the same birthday and their lives become connected, I really don't want to say too much more as I don't want to spoil it. But it is refreshing that all the characters have a level of depth and likeable qualities and have not been made into any stereotypes. I've only watched the first episode so far, but really enjoyed it, and surprisingly the missus did too.

I can't recommend game of thrones highly enough

I was never really into fantasy tv programmes but it's fantastic
2nd only to The Sopranos in my opinion.


And there's some stunning women on the show

Psyching myself up to watch the Sopranos again, great series.
I know a lot of people disagree with me but I still put it second to Boardwalk Empire.

Never seen it it's a Scottish comedy like Still Game ? Should be funny then. You like Scotch humour then ? Have you heard of Chick Murray ? Got to be one of the funniest comics ever. Dry humour but sharp and he's Billy Connelly's favourite comedian. Check him out !

Chic Murray is really funny. He's been dead a while but he's still called the comedians comedian. Deadpan style but razor sharp and was way ahead of his time. Connelly loved him and modelled his style on him when he first started out. You can see him on YouTube.

I forgot about Last Kingdom...books are good as well as the series.
I'm looking forward to Sherlock, the agatha Christie and inside number 9 over Xmas.

With all the nudity and sex on display and the super slow mo TiVo button on my remote, it takes me 4 and a half hours to watch each episode.

Been watching it GOT no for 2 years and I am still only on season 1, episode 8.

I did a that for a while but I started going blind.

Mind, in saying that the programme still won the PALM D'or in my house.

The Royle Family is on tonight 9.pm on BBC 1. Seen all of them but they are worth watching again.

It's the queen of Sheeba episode

Only my opinion but it's the best "special episode" they did

Just watched it and still enjoyed it. What great writing and acting by the whole cast. David Walliams should sit and watch this episode, and see what real comedy is !

I like to think I'm pretty tough but got a lump in my throat when they all gathered round her bed in the hospital. As it makes me think about losing my own parents. Its that realistic !

I get the same, I can sit and watch videos of torture, people being killed but if you put something like that or Marley and Me on and I'm gone.

I watched on DVD recently the goodbye to Highfield Road with all the scenes/emotions of that last day match etc. I couldn't believe how sad I felt and angry too, if I'd watched it any longer I reckon I'd have started sobbing !

I'm like that with 'The Champ' at the end when the kids calling his name. Last watched it about 20 years ago and never again.

I saw a Blackadder repeat yesterday and realised we'd all forgotten the" Night Manager", that was top watch! (and just how good Hugh Laurie is)
