    Yeah I totally agree. Almost as if they think if we want to watch any decent festive TV or films we will just stream them. And they can just show repeats or stick on Harry Potter again or titanic again or the hobbit again just to fill a few hours. I've enjoyed witness for the prosecution and Roald Dahl revolting rhymes and that is it! In fact I went and bought a now TV box yesterday for our bedroom just to have something to watch in bed, very poor show. I simply can't see how the BBC can justify the licence fee these days.

    The Harry Potter thing has been ridiculous . I like a bit of Harry Potter but it's more of Saturday afternoon filler than prime Xmas viewing.

    It's lazy scheduling as far as I'm concerned! I'll make a bet now. I bet the holiday with Cameron Diaz, Jude law etc is aired some point in Feb or March with Halloween being aired in summer some point.
    It was either that.....or the priesthood

    I was meant to be watching this series back-to-back over Christmas...haven't got around to it yet ;%
    Still have the last (half) series of The Walking Dead to catch up on too...plus I want to watch The Man In The High Castle - anyone would think I have a life :))

    Today I watched Bob Monkhouse: The Last Stand that I had recorded from BBC4 - brilliant entertainment...if you like comedy then I highly recommend you catch this show - can't praise it highly enough -{

    On the same channel, last night they had Searching for 007, a doc with lots of footage of Bond from the BBC archives, though it seemed I'd seen a lot of it before, possibly on the Everything or Nothing movie released at the time of Skyfall. The format here was very much the same; John Barry's brilliant music used to enhance virtually everything.

    Was that the one with Mark Gatiss ? If so it's been on several times over the last year...but well worth watching -{

    No, that one followed, yeah I knew I'd seen that. This one began at about 11pm. Obv I had a rollicking time seeing the New Year in! :))

    It's worth catching for the clip of Casino Royale's Derek Nimmo :o quizzing Bond in character in his Vegas Mustang for his TV show!

    Sadly my TV satellite dish (non-subscription) decided to pack in at the end of 2016 so I missed all of those Bond programmes I wanted to record. X-(

    I've got a Now TV set-top box with Freeview, but I need to get it fully installed yet.

    I am watching Morecambe and Wise on ITV.

    It's 40 years old and I'm still laughing. :))

    I've also realised what's been missing from Christmas for the past few years .... :#

    The fact that there has been nothing to remotely compare to M&W since their heyday shows how brilliant they were. They didn't need to resort to swearing for laughs either. Only Laurel and Hardy could compare to them as a double act.
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

    Although, it's obvious that Ant & Dec have studied them ...... a lot :D

    Is there a tumble weed emoji ????


    You can see that Ant and Dec are heavily influenced by Eric and Ernie but they are a different kind of act .... they do 'borrow' heavily from them though.

    Great to see "Death in Paradise" back on BBC 1 -{

    Watched Sherlock on the BBC iPlayer and thought it was trying to be too clever for it's own good. I will watch the next one but the series is becoming a little too much up it's own backside and it may be the last I watch.
    Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
  • ThunderpussyThunderpussy Behind you !Posts: 63,792MI6 Agent
    There are only three episodes in a run, so you might
    As well check them out. As I think this will be the end
    Of the show.

    Thanks, TP, I didn't know that, I may as well give it a go then -{

    Last episode in our local cinema.

    She's a big fan and I think there are some extra clips
    Etc, at the cinema showing.

    They've been doing this for a couple of years now...probably longer...the whole Sherlock series is being shown in the cinema and a few Doctor Who episodes have been shown this way as well...

    Highbrow stuff, .... I'm really into that :p

    Taboo on bbc1, what the BBC does brilliantly. Big budget, period drama. Excellent cast, beautifully filmed.
