For me it's Anything Goes, a recording of the West End show with Robert Lindsay and Felicity Kendal. BBC2, Boxing Day.

I haven't even bothered to look through the listings, they are always disappointing. I do most of my watching on catchup services these days, iplayer etc. I see iplayer currently has all episodes of the wondrous Royle Family at the moment, that will keep me going through Christmas.

Morcambe and Wise on Christmas Day - it is a “lost” tape found by Morcambe’s son in the loft.

For me it will be Sounds of the Seventies and shedding tears on hearing ' Days I Knew Then'

Sounds of the 70s could be right up my street. smile
What channel will it be on, please?

Gareth Malone Blackburn singing show was lovely.

We watch very little on 'normal' tv now, to be honest - we mostly watch stuff from Netflix or Amazon Prime. However, xmas wouldn't be xmas without the only xmas film I'll watch - Die Hard. And I love to sit and watch The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child with my grandson.
Love Actually though? Worst film ever...

Not Christmas, but just seen an advert for the Downton Abbey film to be shown on New Year’s Day.

I shall look forward to that.

I'm watching Mrs. Doubtfire. smile
Again! I love it.

Quentin Blake - The Drawing of My Life was on BBC2 today (Christmas Day) It was extremely enjoyable.

Well blow me down. Having grumbled about the various tired Christmas shows and joked that I wouldn’t be surprised to see Morecambe and Wise featured, guess what? Morcambe and Wise were indeed on amid much fanfare after the discovery of a ‘lost tape’ in Eric Morecambe's loft.
I didn’t watch it.

My 84 year old aunt is convinced she had seen the 'lost' Morecambe and Wise tape before.
