The problem with Dickensian was that they moved it around to much like it was filler material. I know there were 20 episodes but it seemed like they wanted to show them quick. It would have been better if they were on Monday and Friday at 8:30 for 10 weeks.

You guys are very chatty today! You keep making this week's quiz questions slip down a page quicker than I can put them up!
![]() ![]() Mind you, it's good to see how busy this thread has got. I predict this year's thread will be almost twice the size of last year's once the 2017 thread is up band running. Quiz questions are on page 49. |

Doubt it, if the BBC1 Christmas Day schedules follow the same line up as recent years, which they almost certainly will, there's no slot for Open All Hours late afternoon/early evening. My Xmas Day prediction for BBC1.

Highway Rat is commissioned for Christmas 2017. This year it is two episodes of Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes.

I'm really looking forward to Revolting Rhymes. I wonder if they will do anymore Roald Dahl books?. I'd love to see them do George's Marvellous Medicine!.

Tell me Billy, what do you enjoy watching? I ask because you're quite negative towards many things that have been mentioned thus far. |

Actually, so far, they've been quite well made and entertaining. Christmas TV is meant to be fluffy and enjoyable and, yes, we are getting another adaptation. This year it's Awful Aunt.
