Knowing Me, Knowing Yule with Alan Partridge

Might need more beer...

*I may have made this up.

[Errkal]

That is all really uninspiring so far.

[Return_of_the_STAR]

Currently all I'm watching over Christmas is Michael McIntyre then.

[bear]

Michael McIntyre’s Big Christmas Show from the Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London
Mrs Brown's Boys

Krampus is real.

[KK]

"TV doesn't get shitter than this."

[Death's Head]

Who gives a gooseberry fool what is on. Netflix.

[Skippy]

My family will be doing the same as always: extended family leaves just before Strictly, everyone half-heartedly watches that/does other things in front of the tele, everyone focuses for Doctor Who and then we all watch a DVD - I'm thinking Inside Out this year.

[Death's Head]

Disappointing that the true spirit of Christmas has been lost. Gone are the days of Top of the pops (well, still here but no doubt full of gooseberry fool music these days), the Queen's speech (gives time to make a quick drink) and then settle down for the main event, the James Bond film.

I guess this is the price of becoming a multi cultural society.

[Skippy]

I guess this is the price of becoming a multi cultural society.

Seriously?

[Moggy]

I guess this is the price of becoming a multi cultural society.

Seriously?

It's all part of the War on Christmas. Even Starbucks now only have plain red cups during "the holidays". Thanks Obama.

[Lagamorph]

What, no Bond film?
And when is the definitive Christmas film, Jingle all the Way, on?

[Hypes]

Meh, Only thing there is Sherlock and I probably won't watch that live anyway.

[Skippy]

Has any channel even announced their film schedule yet? Bond could easily be on, it's not like that series is unpopular.

[Spindash]

And when is the definitive Christmas film, The Muppet Christmas Carol, on?

[Death's Head]

I guess this is the price of becoming a multi cultural society.

Seriously?

I think my opening sentence may give a clue.

[Buffalo]

A couple of Christmas classics are appearing on Netflix already, so strawberry float the BBC. Michael McIntyre is as funny as cancer.

[KK]

Has any channel even announced their film schedule yet? Bond could easily be on, it's not like that series is unpopular.

Sky Movies (apparently people do still subscribe!) are showing

Night at the Museum 3
Big Hero 6
Cinderella
Avengers: Age of Ultron

[Drumstick]

Yawn.

I'll be downloading a bunch of film and TV to stream over my media server.

[chalkitdown]

Give me Die Hard or give me death.

[Corazon de Leon]

I'll probably go down the pub on Christmas Eve then do my traditional thing of watching Die Hard drunk, with a takeaway. Then on Christmas Day I'll be at my mums and we'll likely watch a few Christmas movies while I make the scran. I'll be pushing for Jingle All The Way and Gremlins. Or Ghostbusters actually. Not specifically a Christmas film but I haven't seen it for bloody ages and could right go another viewing.
