Anybody planning to watch King Lear for three hours on More 4 from 9pm?
No, me neither.
I'm going to set up camp on BBC1 from 6pm and only budge to turn off EastEnders. No prospect of seeing any telly before then, thanks to relatives/impending arrival of Wii from Santa.
There's a bit of Doctor Who and Shrek The Halls on BBC Three between 8pm and 8.30pm. Or I might just try to extract a tooth with nutcrackers.
"Cool Runnings" is amazing. Now I know what I'm watching at 8pm. 
My mistake everyone, "Cool Runnings" isn't on till 8.30.
Well, in the spirit of the season, I think I can speak for everyone when I say, "We forgive you."
I have my computer next to a TV and enjoy both simultaneously.
It's efficent, I may eventually get my swivel chir replaced by a swivel toilet.
Scrooged? Some one at the BEEB has classy tastes.
I'll probably watch that and Dr Who.
Other than that I may go out and kick some orphans.
I do love the idea of Griff with remote in one hand and shotgun in other.

Feel the rhythm feel the rhyme get on up it's bobsleigh time, coooooool runnings
Was that John Candy's last movie?
It's better then the Queens speech
Cool Runnings does at least have a good sound track, don't be dissin Jimmy Cliff.

Ha! a man after my own heart. Don't you just hate it when you're watching something good and some old relly babbles on endlessly therefore causing you to miss a good one liner or if it's a detective programme, a key point? And then they go and ask you what was said.

Mrs Bandage started talking to me three minutes from the end of last night's Survivors. Anybody who thinks men can't multi-task is an idiot.

Heh, good man. I find ignoring the talker whilst staring studiously at the TV usually does the trick. It's also important to avoid even the most basic responses, because the briefest of grunts will encourage the die-hard talker.
Oh right; well they find a cure, Najiv is thingies missing son only she forgot he was asian and Max Beasley finds Big Ben collapsed in the sands by the Thames.
Before collapsing to his knees and shouting,
"F**king damn you all to hell!"
n.b. ideal Christmas TV anyone?
10-11.00 Carols from Jade Goody's funeral.
11.00-13.00 Bambi with the rape scenes from Pulp Fiction and Deliverance randomly added.
13.00-18.00 The Queen's speech, after Harry spiked her sherry with LSD.
18.00 Joe Pasquale, Jim Davidson and Jordan in I'm a celebrity get me out of Windsor Safari Park, they haven't fed the lions all week.
I think we'll alternate between TV and DVDs.
I think I will alternate between DVDs and DVDS! Although I will watch Dr Who, of course. Just got a R1 DVD of one of my favourite films, an Australian comedy called Lonely Hearts. This is going to be my ideal Christmas day movie - it hasn't been on TV for years so I'm pleased to be able to watch it again. It has one of my favourite lines of movie dialogue in it, something like "Have a peanut, you can't roar your tits off all night on an empty stomach!"
On her Christmas message the Queen ought to have her say regarding the piffle that the Government made her read out at the opening of Parliament. "Oh, and that bit about prudent measures was obviously complete bollocks."
