Re: T.V. Programmes
Having been away from the computer for much of the festive season, I have been compelled to watch (or should that be 'endure') a broad selection of television programmes that I would not normally spare the time for.
Quite how the BBC can justify it's retention and possible increase of the licence fee is beyond me. The commercial channels are just as bad, if not worse. At a time when it seems like the entire world and his dog are just itching for a chance to entertain us on television, the scheduling and programming decisions employed this year defy belief.
"Dear Father Christmas" (Christmas Day, 3:10, BBC1) A bunch of overweight kids lost their mother to breast cancer, so Dale Winton sent them to Disneyland. Ahhhh! I endured it for 1 minute and 30 seconds before i had to leave the room and throw up!
What is wrong with H.M. The Queen? One would think that with the amount of disposable income she has, she could at least make some sort of nod in the direction of fashion, if not of glamour. I never thought that I would say this, but I have to admit that the late Princess of Wales did add a bit of sparkle to an otherwise dowdy institution.
Eastenders. If I have to watch another disrupted Christmas lunch in the Queen Vic, I will throw the telly out of the bloody window. SOOO BEEN THERE, DONE THAT, BOUGHT THE T-SHIRT AND SWAPPED IT FOR SOMETHING ELSE!
The Vicar of Dibley, Absolutely fabulous. About as funny as those jokes you get in Christmas Crackers. I like nostalgia as much as the next man but there are times when it is best to leave the past where it is, this was certainly one of them.
