Christmas Ain’t Coming Any More
You really don’t need me to tell you what to be watching on Christmas Day, do you? Doctor Who, Gavin and Stacey and find yourself a good DVD or two. Job done.
If you’re a regular reader of this blog, I’d just like to take the opportunity to wish each and every one of you, all the very best for the season. Your support is much appreciated.

Not sure if you’ve caught this fairly quietly introduced sitcom on BBC2 yet but, if not, I would strongly recommend heading over to the iPlayer to find Home Time. I would imagine that this kind of comedy is not everyone’s cup of tea but there is a growing tradition in the more successful recent of the genre of slow starts building up cult following.

The Start of A Beautiful Relationship
There will be, in fact there already is, such controversy about the digital switch-over and the switching off of terrestrial TV signals and quite rightly there needs to be a substantial amount of work put in to enable this to be a success, it is fraught with logistical and social difficulties and I do not envy those who have been put in charge one little bit.
