What a pile of shoite...

Gavin & Stacey, and Call the Midwife are the only two shows I'm looking forward to on Christmas Day.
I do enjoy watching the Queen's Christmas message to the nation too. Although since Nutmeg joined the ranks, her and Ginger ruins the Queen's Message for me.

I guess I'll be watching Netflix then...

We will be with my 91 year old Nan at the Nursing Home most of the day, we watch HM the Queen on my phone. Last year we chuckled when she mentioned people watching her on smartphones lol

Having read most of the soap spoilers I’m not interested in watching any of them on Christmas Day they all look to be oppressively negative, with showdowns, shootings et al. Would it kill the scriptwriters to write something a little more realistic and maybe even slightly happy?

The only thing I’m looking forward to is Gavin and Stacey.

Where is Doctor Who, though?!

EastEnders is the only show I'll watch cos they usually step up their game for Christmas.

Doctor Who New Years Day.

I didn't think it was too bad. At least the BBC have made an effort. ITV just looks like a normal day at the office. I will be watching Call the Midwife, Gavin and Stacey and EastEnders. I'll record Dad's Army and Morecambe and Wise.
