It transpires I’m distantly related to the guy playing Kinsella. His Dad is a distant cousin of my Dad, I think we share a great aunt somewhere along the line?

The one played by Sam Keeley.
My Nan on my Dads side is from Tullamore in Ireland, and whilst she emigrated to the U.K. and met my grandfather, her sister Bella stayed there and married one of the local lads. The Keeleys are a big family over there, so either my great aunt was his grandmother or one of his great aunties.

Crikey, Channel 5 really pushing the boat out! (sarcasm) Channel 4 not much better. BBC & ITV mainly xmas special versions of regular shows with BBC being strongest to me.
I remember when xmas telly was something to really look forward to and you couldn't wait to get your hands on the TV guide.

Like me she can't wait for series 2. I've just finished the series now - WOW! What an ending. I struggled with the first couple of episodes and had to really concentrate on which man was which but from then on it just got better and better until the final gripping episode. All the characters were good (if sometimes infuriating) but really enjoyed the evolution of Amanda Kinsella. If you want something done ...

I think EastEnders will be top of the ratings out of the soaps, like last year on Christmas Day, Dr Who and Call the Midwife will also do well. It will be interesting to see how The Masked singer does on ITV1. A good schedule from both BBC One and ITV1. Although the BBC's is a little too jam packed. A smart move by BBC One kicking off with Strictly which will lead the way and hopefully viewers will stick with the channel throughout the evening. For those that are not into soaps they can have LE on both channels throughout the night and if you are hard to please you always have the streaming platforms, never before has there been so much choice. If you can't find something to watch on the big night then there is something very wrong.

They shows a repeat of Michael Parkinson's last show which featured Billy Connolly. Billy ironically has the disease Parkinson's but I think it is slow as he has done a few 2023 interviews and seems with it, he is slightly shaky but can still speak well and his new book Rambling Man was published recently.

If anyone watches 2 Doors Down which is a Scottish comedy show they did their last episode of the 7th series all about Billy Connolly. Well him and all the nonsense that we would expect from this show. Sadly one of the main writers died this year at a very young age.

Heard of the comedy but never watched it yet. I have always been a fan of Billy Connolly. Some think that due to his illness he is now virtually disabled and practically a vegetable but this is far from the truth.
