Your 2000ad Christmas TV guide

[House of Usher]

There's a lot of TV on over Christmas, and since once in a while we like to spread the word when there's something good on, let's post the christmas highlights here, in one place, preferably before the programme starts!

I'm already regretting missing the first 10 minutes of South Pacific on BBC2, but hey, I'm very relaxed and contented right now, so I'll just be happy to see it from the start next time it turns up in the schedule.

So, what's next?

My next highlights are A Christmas Carol (Patrick Stewart and Richard E. Grant) on Five at 7.05pm for anyone who's not seen it before (it's a good one!), and The Good Life, 7.30pm on BBC2. A christmas classic!

Sweet, thanks for the heads up.  Haven't got a telly mag so, other than something called Professor What I've no idea what on earth's on the telly these next few days or so, only that what's USUALLY on might not be.

[House of Usher]

Okay, there's also:

Carols from King's, 6.15pm, BBC2
My Family, 8.00pm, BBC1 (doubt I'll be watching that, but you never know)
Victoria Wood's Midlife Crisis, 9.00pm, BBC1
Q.I., 10.00pm, BBC1
The Hound of the Baskervilles, 9.00pm, BBC2 (I'm not really in the mood)

I'm not allowed TV over the next 3 nights as I have to do family stuff. I have to record it all and try and fit it in sometime.
I won't even be able to watch my Blu-ray Star Trek until everyone is asleep tomorrow night, I keep saying but it's a present darling but she won't budge

[Mike Gloady]

My Family?

Oh dear Cod no.  There's always hope, Ush - you don't have to bore yourself to death.

[House of Usher]

My Family? Oh dear Cod no.  There's always hope, Ush - you don't have to bore yourself to death.

Actually, the Radio Times tells me not to watch it. I don't think I'm that desperate anyway.

If your Radio Times is talking to you, you've probably started drinking too early!

[Colin Zeal]

Anyone know if Zulu is on? Haven't seen it since the last bank holiday, so might watch it again.

It's Christmas. No such thing as too early!  


Grrrr! Kate Silverton just appeared on my TV and the missus turned it over because she's trying to tune in Channel Five on a non-cable receiver for later. But, dammit, Kate Silverton's on now, and I want to know what she's saying!

Virgin V+ box do0d, I've seen the future and it's available on 'catch up'

[Mike Gloady]

Good point, but not much use if you've not actually got one right now though.

Can't afford any technological gubbings myself.  Sniff.

[Trout]

The Gruffalo's on at about 5.30pm on Christmas Day. Rose and I are really looking forward to it.

But My Family? That's just shit.

I know Christmas Eve is a bit early to be scraping the barrel, but I was just trying to be thorough. You know, for the benefit of eldsters with ADHD. If my in-laws were here they'd be making me sit through it or go and wrap presents upstairs. In fact, wrapping presents is probably what I'll be doing anyway.

Seriously tho kids, look into the Virgin box (don't get mixed up with 'looking into a virgins box') as I don't watch a lot of telly but when I do i'm never short of junk to ingest

[House of Usher]

I know not this 'Virgin Box' of which you speak, but I do have Virgin cable, with 7 days of 'catch up on demand'. That and the DVD recorder upon which it sits are generally adequate to my viewing needs.
