Xmas without the box

[BigonaBianchi]

...seems to me that Christmas is largely played out on the telly for many...anybody else here turn the dam thing off mostly?

Rarely watch it at all. Either Radio 4 or Planet Rock for me most of the time.

If I'm not reading.

Don't watch anything on the telly at Christmas unless it's a film.

I don't actually have a TV just a TV card in the computer and of course BBC iPlayer. I choose to watch programmes when I want. So when I go to a house where the TV is on the whole time, regardless of what is on and whether anyone is watching, I'm slightly appalled.

I'd love to have a TV free Christmas, or even limit it to just one film, but my relatives will probably just flick the box straight on.

probably the xbox

I shall be watching the new Wallace & Grommit, but apart from that, I couldn't give a stuff...

What pisses me off they are mostly repeats, if a cinema were to do that they would soon go out of business, but no the TV producers can get away with it

Oh Yeah, me too. Looking forward to that.

The trouble with tv is that instead of actually doing things on Christmas Day it's easy to just end up watching things.

Later in the evening, when we're all lacking in energy, we'll probably watch a film. That's about it!

We don't have a TV although when we visit the parents/in-laws for 2 days I suspect the TV will come on in the evenings. The first one anyway - we've been roped into going to a party on boxing day...

...on another note, when you see the word "member" under someone's username, does anyone else automatically think of a man's ..er member?

 

[Mr Pig]

We don't watch much TV. By the time everyone has done the other stuff they need/want to do the night is just about over.

 

[tyred]

I rarely watch TV at any time. Nothing but rubbish IMO.

I cn honestly say that I have never seen the queens speech on xmas day...I think I watched a repeat of it once. I used to like Noels morning show in the 80's...that was fun, first beer of the crate as the show started...and the fools and horses shows were excellent. I think the 70's TV comedies like steptoe, porridge etc were the best....these days TV sucketh in comparison.
