ITV's Christmas Day schedule looks appalling.

Bullseye the only thing worth watching.

 

[RedAsABeetroot]

Spotify for me. Probably the only thing on my tv Christmas day will be dust.

 

[Rofesleg]

Is that new? (Wham)

It is the story behind the song and video.

 

[Rofesleg]

And don't forget today (5th) is Krampus Day.
Just enough time to celebrate and get into the festive spirit with this cracker...

 

[Decent_Left]

Definitely 'Gone Fishing'.

There's also an "Inside No. 9" documentary which might be worth a watch.

And "Wham!: Last Christmas Unwrapped" might be a special treat.

Lovely story in this weeks Popbitch about the story behind the video for Last Christmas.

Does anyone watch television on Christmas Day?

I can understand people watching a film in the evening, but not during the daytime unless they are alone and then that becomes a different scenario.

Quite a few royalists on here, so I imagine they’ll be glued to The King, 3pm Xmas Day.

Hope this helps.

I watched/listen for comedic purposes

 

[Borobuddah]

Several matches, somehow it always seems to catch me as a extra-Xmas- bonus that there’s footy on

Christmas telly has been dire for years. I'm at work anyway, so i'll probably just watch Netflix all day.

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

If Jason and The Argonauts isn't on, then it's not Christmas.

The kids used to wait for me to say the line "REFUSE THE HELP OF THE GODS!?" every time we watched it.

ITV's Christmas Day schedule looks appalling.

Old gammonette channel, soap opera and rwnj chat.

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

Squid Game season 2 on Boxing Day, after the Boro match obviously.

 

[allied_assault]

Well there's your Christmas films obviously:

Scrooge (Alistair Sim version)
Die Hard
In Bruges

It's a Wonderful Life as well

 

[SNICKERED]

Black Doves if you've got netflix.

 

[Norman_Conquest]

A couple of my favourite films that are always shown around Christmas are 'Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang' and the original 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.'

 

[UTB70]

Well ill be watching groundhog day and trains, planes and automobiles. Plus any cristmas carol/scrooge films.

 

[LaPennaBianca]

Don't really watch telly on Christmas day itself, but will be putting on the Muppets on Christmas Eve as per.

 

[mercury_redstone7]

I rarely watch any BBC or ITV TV these days, I can watch all the old repeated stuff online in most cases, especially old films. We used to wait for the Christmas specials from most of the top comedy acts over the years. Last one I waited for was the Royle Family.

Turn the TV off and spend time with your families. Play a few board games and get out for a walk.
