Apparently some people don’t like football.Strictly is already on twice a week for half the year (or what seems like it), i'm not sure we need subjecting to it on christmas day too.
And they give it a rest on Christmas Day on the main channels - many would say thankfully.Apparently some people don’t like football.
That’s on virtually every day for ten months of the year.
Worse? Its not good but there you have an original OFAH Xmas special - the one where the dad turns up The Two Ronnies and a great classic old Christmas children's filmCould be worse. It could be 1983

Yeah but not on BBC. Only if you have sky sports which you'd only get if you want to watch sports/football. I'm not subscribing to a celebrity dancing channel....Apparently some people don’t like football.
That’s on virtually every day for ten months of the year.
We don't. That's why the remote has an off button on it.Strictly is already on twice a week for half the year (or what seems like it), i'm not sure we need subjecting to it on christmas day too.
Nobby I'm disappointed in you. It's ITV3 Channel 119 on Sky. Call yourself a Heartbeat superfan
Turkish super league with your turkey.No football then ?
