Re: Christmas TV Recommendations..
Christmas Day had surprisingly good programming; I watched Citizen Kane on BBC Four followed by The Royle Family on BBC1. Made for a great few hours in front of the goggle box.
Watching Top Gear at the moment which is epic as usual.

Re: Christmas TV Recommendations..
There was a first class film last night on Channel Five, called Thirteen, Conspiracy, about the assassination of a woman American President, and the aftermath, was nearly 3 hours long but great viewing

Re: Christmas TV Recommendations..
An Englishman in New York.
Even considering there was a thirty four year gap between his first portrayal, in the ground breaking and acclaimed The Naked Civil Servant, and tonight's programme, John Hurt's depiction of Quentin Crisp, from his teens, right through to his nineties, was a masterclass in acting, a theatrical tour de force, and surely must be a worthy certainty for a BAFTA nomination.
Bravo to the post populist television channel, ITV, in giving this programme a prime time spot in Christmas week.
It was beautifully filmed, witty, sad, funny, and sometimes difficult to watch. An extraordinary, yet in some ways very ordinary person's life, coming to an end, after finding some peace and acceptance from those around him.
An utter treat to watch.

Didn't watch it Rindi, but did watch the Naked Civil Servant years ago, John Hurt is a great actor and if he was anything like he was all those years ago it will have been a memorable performance, no doubt it will be repeated and will try to catch it then
