Worst Christmas Day TV ever?

[nightowl]

It's like they've hardly made any effort. I'm not sure if I say that every year though.

You may say it every year because it gets worse every year.

When it was all a lot, lot better....




And, if you want, the full Morecambe and Wise 1978 Christmas Show, it's here:

 

[hash tag]

I suspect there are repeats of dad's army and a Micheal Palin travelogue around somewhere which would keep me amused. Have just watched Ian Hislops review of the year which was sweet.

 

[nogojones]

Does Ol' Sausage Fingers get a slot now his mum is stiff?

 

[dessiato]

The only thing that I'm watching on the major terrestrial channels is Nutcracker. The rest of the time there's nothing of any interest

 

[marty21]

Been watching videos on YouTube for the last couple of hours , John Rogers , London Walks , and Adventures Archives who do long walks , mostly in the States.

 

[Elpenor]

Got all the films I fancied watching on record. Tunes for me today. Maybe a film later on

 

[stavros]

Almost all total shite. Luckily last night I paid my annual visit to Ireland's biggest lingerie section on More 4.

Far too familiar with the Ted Xmas special. Giving it a break for a year or two.

[Epona]

The recording of Gatiss' stage production of A Christmas Carol was fabulous and by far the best thing on all day - it is on iPlayer if anyone missed it and is still up for something festive.

 

[stavros]

Today looks quite good:
Rugby
World's Strongest Man
Only Connect
Uni Challenge
First Dates
Frankie Boyle

Does anyone still watch live TV? Kind of an odd concept, didn’t even know you could still have a five live channel set up tbh.

Sometimes, mostly just the news.

It was same here in US. Absolutely nothing to watch on Sunday Christmas. I needed a break and my $250 per month cable bill did not supply a viable source

The news and live sport.

The news and live sport.

But don’t you get that through your cable set up, alongside Netflix/Prime whatever?

Live sport is often only shown on certain channels.

Some old people AFAICT, but even my Dad who’s over 70 mainly watches stuff via the catch-up services (he’d never pay for a Netflix equivalent)

Yes, I do, as part of a mixed diet.

 

[scifisam]

We do now and then, and so does my GF, whose in her thirties, so it's not an old person thing.

I'm not sure what you mean about via cable. Getting it via cable doesn't mean it's not live TV.

I sort of forgot that live TV was still a thing.

There are many more than five free to air channels now but most of them are filled with tenth rate reality shite or endless repeats of mock the week.

Yeah I know, but it also means your not restricted to ‘what’s on TV’ on Christmas Day

 

[ouirdeaux]

I don't get it either. Never in the history of broadcasting has it been so easy to watch whatever you want to watch. And still people complain.

 

[scifisam]

Yeah, but what you asked was if anyone still watches live TV, not if people watch live TV on Christmas Day.

Sometimes it's easier to just stick something on the TV.

we have world junior hockey, and curling on over here...it's all good
