Shame, because episode 2 left us stunned. Years since I've seen a Christmas ghost story that good and so well acted on TV.

My solution to bad Christmas TV (or bad TV in general) is not to watch TV: I haven't watched TV for about 15 years. At the moment, I'm watching (for the nth time) the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series on DVD. I love the one-liners, e.g. "I think I speak for all of us when I say: Huh?".

A great performance by Hugh Grant capped a wonderful film. It was a shame his musical number was relegated to the credits.

I can't remember if I've seen the first one...missed it when it was on earlier in the week

Tried to watch the first Paddington film last year sometime but the then three year old was scared of Nicole Kidman. Might try again at some point. She managed to make it through the whole of Moana this time around, without being too scared of the storm, but she didn't like Shrek.

There must have been about ten different Christmas Carol films spread over the channels this year.

I didn't realise Jon Pertwee wrote and directed it as well

I like the Jean-Luc Slaphead version the best; better even than Alastair Simm's version and that's saying something.
I thought the 3 parter was well worth watching and had some merit, but not sure the additions added that much, though was a worthy try

I thought the BBC one was very dark
I found that scene with Tiny Tim and the Ice very haunting and disturbing

Why do we seem to have an endless run of films glorifying war and reruns of war films? I lived through the war but it was many years ago. I still remember but why do we have to continually harp back, surely it is time to move on. Slight thread drift but there seemed to be lots of war films on this Christmas.
