Catherine Jenkins cristmas show
Seems strange timing and scheduling. 10-20 years ago a singing xmas show would be prime time viewing for xmas day. Now it's midweek at midnight

If I wanted to see it, I could have recorded it no matter when it it was originally scheduled for and watch it at a time of my choosing.

True. The Queen's Speech is therefore now scheduled at 3am next Wednesday with celebrations from central London for New Years Eve slotted into the next available slot on BBC4 on Friday fortnight.

We e recorded it and will watch it at a more appropriate time, was far too late for my husband having to get up for work at 5am. But I guess they just can't fit everything in when they want to the day will be so cram packed with fabulous Christmas content they couldn't fit any more in

Lovely show which should have been on at 9o clock instead of a stale old repeat of the Royle family

Probably because nobody really likes her. She always comes off as false and attention-seeking and her singing is irritating.
Much preferred the Royle Family, which fit in well with Ricky Tomlinson being on Who Do You Think You Are, and is probably the best episode ever so worked as a good tribute to Caroline Aherne too. |

She does have fans.
I'm not one of them. I might become one if she sang really difficult fast arias, and if she started to actually pronounce the consonants. But all the while she does slow stuff and ignores the words I will continue to see her as a very lazy singer. |

I was not a fan until I saw her live recording a Big Sing programme at Alexandra Palace and she had to repeat her song 15 minutes later as the BBC sound engineers had not recorded it properly. She is a real professional.
Last nights was a bit hammy with the inserts but her versatility in songs sang was impressive. |

There was a nice report in the paper on her doing something special in Manchester for a couple who had lost their child earlier in the year. |

I dont understand all the hate for her, whenever I see her on TV being interviewed she always comes across as pleasant, I like her. Anyway, I watched the show and enjoyed all the Xmas songs and aled Jones singing 'walking in the air'

What usually gets the haters going is if somewhere like the Mail uses the "O" word. You can see that they wait and search for it so they have a good moan about her not being an opera singer even though she never claims it herself.

I don't like her purely because she comes off as very false and stage-managed to me. I much prefer someone like Andrea Bocelli if I'm going to listen to popera music.

Katharine Jenkins: Home For Christmas is a BBC Wales programme (the clue's in the title) that was shown in Wales at 9 o'clock last night while the rest of the network transmitted a Royle Family repeeat.
The rest of the network then transmitted the programme at 23.15, not midnight, while Wales carried the Royle Family. Normally these BBC Wales Christmas shows aren't transmitted outside Wales but obviously an exception was made in this case. It was clearly intended for a Welsh audience so had a prime time slot in Wales. |

A few more regional programmes are now getting onto network, there are still many that have never been seen outside Wales. I have watched on iPlayer in the past Coming Home, several excellent series about the work of RCAHMW and other programmes. |

Really? The bloke is blind - I really don't think he's stage-managed at all.
The hate for some singers is bizarre, if people don't like them don't listen. I could name many are not my cup of tea I don't hate them I just don't listen to them. |
