The worst: all of it. 2016 was the year TV gave up trying.

Best - Ethel and Ernest

Worst - Call the Midwife - ok it wasn't terrible, but to me it felt out of place, CTM belongs in Poplar and it would have been a good opportunity for them to remember Sister Evangelina with it being the first Christmas without her and so on. I guess not 'Worst' as such, but 'Most Disappointing' really.

Explain how, I have yet to see anything mentioned as being on Netfix that appeals to me.

I certainly found plenty of excellent programmes to watch on BBC1 / BBC2 / BBC4.

Best. Revolting Rhymes.
Worst (that I saw). top of the pops. Just not getting the calibre of acts, very poor.

Best- Revolting Rhymes - pure family entertainment for kids and grown ups .
Witness for the prosecution- it had me gripped.
Peter Pan goes wrong - had me in stiches, again perfect for Christmas.

Worst-citizen Khan and still open all hours- I just don't find these shows funny

Just interested in what is so special on Netfllix, anyone can look at the BBC listings and full of interesting programmes. You seem to have sign up to Netflix to see what they have and all I ever read on here is comments about various things that have no interest to me.

Ethel and Ernest
The windsors xmas speciak

were main highlights

I was disappointed in Last tango in halifax and granchester. The writing for Tango was dreadful. And granchester is turning more and more turning into a soap opera and allowing the murders they are solving to just be a side piece.

Best: The Windsors (pleased to see so much love for it!), Call The Midwife (thought it was brilliant), and Frozen (seen it before but perfect Christmas afternoon viewing)

Worst: ITV showing all the Harry Potter films on consecutive days was just lazy I thought, and showing at least one post-watershed was baffling!
