Another reason not to look forward to Christmas.
Yet another old show is "revived" for one last outing. It's just plugging a gap in the Christmas Day schedule, and people will only watch it to see it because "it's got Del Boy in it".
Why do the BBC do it? I don't like Miranda, but that was a new show with a special and, despite it airing on Boxing Day last year, it got the highest viewing figures - higher than an episode of The Royle Family (on Christmas Day). It's just laziness, and you can use the excuse of it being Christmas and being special to get them together again, and that it's easy viewing but I'm sorry, I'm not buying it. I know, I know - "don't watch it then, no-one's forcing you".
Also, remember The Legacy of Reginald Perrin? It'll be as bad and pointless as that, albeit for one episode only, thank goodness.
