Christmas Tv

[Tizzi24]

What a load of rubbish was on TV this Christmas. Even Downton Abbey wasn't great! What do others think?

[Zacs-Master]

No change there then.

I wasn't paying much attention to the tv but what I did watch was ok.

What do the public want on tv at Christmas?

[emmie]

same most years...

[netibiza]

I enjoyed most of it, so would you if you'd had to put up with Spanish progs for years,

[emmie]

decent films, why put some jolly, easy going films on at midnight, try 7/8pm, i know you can't please everyone, but for goodness sake they can do better than have Bridget Jones on, and every sickly made for US tv Christmas schlock invading the channels.

Hours and hours of Harry Potter and Corrie and Emmerdale . . .

And Downtown Abbey is never great.

But great to see The Great Escape and Wizard of Oz once again!

Agree Tizzi24, thank goodness for DVD's, we stocked up on them over Xmas rather than watch some of the repeated drivel

[sir.prize]

ITV3 managed to find all the Carry On films and repeated them back to back over three days.

[emmie]

ah the perennial Great Escape, sorry time to put that one to bed.
Good drama is much needed, not endless repeats. If no one watches then fine, but many obviously do, and they want to be entertained.

[emmie]

sir p, so they did, again......

[smurfchops]

I can remember not so long ago I would video lots of,films and they overlapped so much I would give my good old dad a list of films to video for me as well. Those days are gone, there is hardly anything worth watching, so many repeats.

[Tizzi24]

Thank you all for your replies. As you say, mostly repeats. I can't stand the Carry On Films. I'd like to see drama and a couple of variety shows (which seem to have dropped off the planet!). If I'd been home, I would have been watching DVD's, but no such luck! I do love the Great Escape though!
