I never really watched it with him - we always record it now and just fast forward to the bits we want to see, I know it's a for a really good cause but I find the whole programme mostly boring.

This years Royal Variety Performance is being recorded three weeks later than last year on December 6th so it sounds as if may be a bit of a festive show

It has become a famefest these days. The talentless promoting a new single that will be as memorable as a trip to the dentist. It certainly lost its essence several years ago.
But lets hope with the end of Text Santa that ITV allow their stars to feature as they used to do |

Thanks for your posts guys! Nice to know I'd be missed!
![]() I am going to avoid the politics threads for awhile. It's like a different world over there! A sort of paradox! But, like pedrok, I'd miss this thread and the broadcasting threads in general rather than the politics side of things. So, I'm off the naughty step and intend to keep it that way! |

On Jimmy Perry, he did get a In Memory of after Hi de Hi this afternoon.
I know it isn't Christmas related, but his passing has been mentioned. You never saw a picture. Just a black screen saying, In Memory of Jimmy Perry 1923 - 2016 |

I see that Channel 5 is jumping on the Peter Kay bandwagon with its own 90 minute programme about him on Sunday night - I like Peter Kay a lot but surely the same material we have seen in the BBC programmes will be popping up again

It can become like a vortex if your not careful so breaks are recommended in my opinion to stop it becoming all consuming and detrimental to enjoying life!☺😉

Voted 90s, that's when I enjoyed it most. But then I was a small child in the 90s.

(Confirmed by BBC One on twitter) I dont buy into this excuse the TV listings are giving about being unable to include New Year schedules in their double issues this year duer to the late acheduling - the schedules will be out early every week until Christmas from now on so im sure they could by delaying a few days |

It's so good that this thread becomes more popular with every passing year.
Now what those new members of this thread need to realise is that there are some topics which are discussed every year. One of these is Laurel and Hardy which hasn't to the best of my knowledge been mentioned this year ( somebody will no doubt correct me if I'm wrong). Another topic is why does BBC 1 have a 3 hour edition of the Breakfast programme on Christmas Day ? Now anybody who wants to watch the Breakfast programme can watch it on the BBC News Channel. It would I reckon be a good idea for BBC 1 to have short news updates on Christmas Day morning and show some Laurel and Hardy films. Laughing Gravy would be a good film to show on Christmas morning. |

They've even been showing their very first film "Lucky Dog" - silent film made in 1917, next showing is on 16th November at 5.40am! |
