Something I always fail to avoid! Sad (The Queen's speech is alright, really).

Any of 'You dipstick Rodders' (Del Boy, OFAH) fans should keep an eye out for 9:05pm on BBC1 on Christmas Day - the first episode of Only Fools And Horses in 5 years, and I can't wait! http://web.ukonline.co.uk/tv.home/forum/emoticons/cheesy.gif

'Pukka stuff Rodders - well done my son!'

God Ry, that picture is over 15 years old! I've actually seen a picture of the cast filming the new ep in Monte Carlo and all are there! Well, except for two.

I can't wait either for it but I just hope it lives up to all the hype - not like the largely disappointing Absolutely Fabulous.

Yes its come out today, which is actually 1 day earlier than billed!.

Disappointly there isn't really any programmes which catch my eye, it just seems to be extra editions of your favourite programmes.

ITV1 seem to be scheduling a repeat of 'Britain's Brainest Kid' at 1.30pm on Christmas Day.

This is either a) a very poor scheduling decision
or b) maybe ITV1 know that everyone will be tucking into turkey at that point and not watching TV.

The lack of Regional Programmes on ITV1 is also very poor

Mike - was it 'Mirrorball' you were talking about? Well I thought it wasn't that bad - it was quite refreshing that instead of doing an Xmas special of AbFab, they did a completely new setting and cast of characters. They only let it down this year by releasing AbFab Series V!!
