It was announced today that the Christmas TV viewing battle was won by Mrs Brown's Boys. :<>

It had some funny moments but most of it was same old, same old I thought. Is this what tops the ratings now? Oh what I'd give for something akin to The Two Ronnies or Eric and Ernie or Only Fools and Horses or The Royle Family or ...

I thought the entire Christmas TV schedule was pathetic. Same bumf we get the rest of the year.

Was The Wizard of Oz on this year?

Thank God for books/Kindles, crosswords and Mahjong.

Yep, The Wizard was on!!!! The only thing I was looking forward to was Downton Abbey Christmas Special and it was awful!!!

The radio (Radio 2) was pretty dire as well, the high spot being Ed Stewart as usual.
I've just watched Still Open All Hours, oh dear, oh dear, and Doctor Who, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

OMG on both of these Martin. The last few Glaswegian vernacular moments of the latter were wonderful but it was the quickest and worst transformation of all. :(
