'Some scrag end from the island' - I did like that line from Gavin and Stacey.

 

[planetgeli]

Egg and cress Ness.

Get away from me you smackhead.

It was well done

Aye, its' not proper Xmas unless there is a teatime Who adventure!

Gavin and stacy was excellent, laghed my socks off when 5he kids ran in wanting their selection boxes.

 

[AnnO'Neemus]

Me too. Also looking forward to the Top Gear special but I don't suppose that has too many supporters on here.

On my TV will be Watchmen and Mr Robot but that's coming via torrents so probably doesn't count.

I liked the first season of Mr Robot but gave up watching because Rami Malek mumbles a lot and I kept struggling to make out what he was saying.

I can confirm TV is utterly barren.

Is there a part 2? I can't tell from iplayer. There was an... unanswered question there at the end.

We may have to wait til the next xmas special. I thought it was OK, I find it moderately amusing and watched it cos there wasn't a lot else on that appealed. It was almost certainly the best evening viewing on Freeview/terrestrial tonight though! Looking forward to the Susan Hill ghost story (Boxing Day, 9pm, C5). Will be going to the early evening showing of the new Star Wars flick at the Stratford Picturehouse before that.

 

[Calamity1971]

find it moderately amusing

I lasted 15 minutes. Ness saying ow ( or however you write it) is so old. Should have let it be imo.

 

[Libertad]

Coronation Street was giving it both barrels last night.

 

[kalidarkone]

Gavin & Stacey is going to be crap, isn't it?

Yes it was awful. Total cringe fest

 

[kalidarkone]

I haven't seen anything good yet.

I hope so, though as epona says it will probably be next year,there's 11 million of us waiting for that answer
It was lovely that they raised a glass to doris as well

And the robot dance. What the fuck? That was old last time round.

 

[Duncan2]

As Ness said "funny time of year Christmas-it makes you think".It was difficult to watch Gavin and Stacey's Christmas Day without comparing it with one's own family-circumstances.I found it excruciating to watch to be honest but that was doubtless because it seemed mostly quite true to life/believable.Worse than The Office for cringe-worthiness.

Oh is how I'd write it but I'm from cardiff.

 

[hash tag]

I saw 5 minutes of Worzel
Admittedly I've seen little television but did see the Vicar Of Dibley the other night. Never seen that episode before. Classic.

 

[D'wards]

I loved Worzel Gummidge- nice gentle Christmas telly and quietly Mackenzie Crook is becoming a great little writer and actor

 

[stavros]

Uni Challenge Celebs is the only thing I've watched.

Nah. Looked all wrong, felt all wrong and as for wearing an eating; it's not worzel. Maybe his son perhaps

It's coming from the original books innit, not the fantastic Pertwee version we all remember so fondly.

 

[DotCommunist]

Only good 'on tele' thing I've seen so far was The Chase bloopers edition which was lol. All my other watching has been through the internets

 

[moomoo]

There’s a new season of ‘You’ on Netflix.

 

[SpookyFrank]

My mum made everyone watch Gavin and Stacey. A heartwarming and hilarious treat for all the family. Was my review of the paint I watched drying afterwards.

There are bits from the tv series they should have kept though but - the changing of heads for one. I loved that

 

[8115]

I'm about to watch the Not Going Out xmas special. It's good because it's crap.

 

[oryx]

The only decent thing OH and I have found to watch all Christmas was Match of the Day on the iPlayer.
