Agree - awful selection over Christmas and New Year. However, spent hours yesterday watching some interesting programmes on 5 Select though (on the free channels).

Saw a programme on Pompei (Bettany Hughes), then some Dan Snow documentaries about Tutenkhamun (sp?)

I love Miss Marple! She has to be played by Joan Hickson though. I've watched them all too. Currently I am Spartacus until my guests arrive. 😂

Join the club! I've never seen such an abysmal choice of tv programmes in my whole life. We don't have Netflix either, just Freeview; I have some box sets (The West Wing) still to watch in an emergency and I can download a lot of free films on my iPad via Freevee. I really resent the TV licence fee these days and the sooner the government does something about it the better.

After the dross that’s been on offer over Christmas, I find myself looking forward to the return of Call The Midwife and Happy Valley.

Does that make me a sad person?

I don’t have Netflix or similar, and although it’s brought up every Christmas how poor the tv has been, I honestly feel 2022 has taken the biscuit.

I have been watching old Miss Marples most nights, even though I know the scripts well enough to be one of the cast, just for something to view.
