🎄đŸ“ș Best Christmas TV

Thank goodness for catch up TV / Netflix et al

Loads of ballet related films / programmes interspersed with the OH’s choices

Perfect!

Thank god for Netflix indeed. Keeping that ballet shit off my telly.

Yeah, Doctor Who, WTF was that all about, the brain invasion seemed to be very much a sub-plot to the Doctor shedding some emotional baggage.

The Who franchise seems to have been going that way over the last couple of years, too much emotions and feelings chucked in to the programme for its own good!!

Watched Spectre the other night, whilst it was OK it did seem to be the build up to something else. I read that Blofeld will be in the next film but only if Daniel Craig agrees to be in it too


Now it is the football - Yay back to normalish!

I watched the David Blaine programme on catch up. He’s great. About 15 years ago I momentarily thought he was some sort of god and was ready to follow him.

currently watching My Nazi Legacy which I’ve seen before. It’s a great documentary.

I wasn’t one of them, but can see why people find it funny. I caught an episode of two in Ireland. If it weren’t for the incessant series of mob slayings, I’d say it’s to Ireland what Bread was to Liverpool. A caricature of a certain type of family In a certain type of message.

Well I Watched it and what a load of old trollope the best bits were the adverts at the end for the new series in a few month’s time.

Anyone else notice how virtually all “Xmas specials” have been filmed in Iceland?

Guess they were the only country letting in film crews

I don’t watch broadcast TV.

It’s shit enough when I’m choosing the stuff to watch.

Or they have very beneficial tax breaks. That was one of the big draws of New Zealand for Lord of the Rings, not just the scenery.

Having to watch Star Trek Disco on Pluto (not the planet) at a set time is painful

Torrents have been a thing for 20 years. You don’t have to.

You do if you’re lazy :wink:

You’ve had 20 fucking years to acclimate to the “new” technology.

Twenty years, man! That is perhaps laziness defined.

I still buy CDs. :expressionless::expressionless:

And I’m still not convinced that they sound better than vinyl, in fact I’m pretty sure they’re not as good.

When your tidy CD storage runs out of space


Still buy CDs
I rip them and store the music in the cloud but I still have to have something tangible.

We sold all our CDs on music magpie. God knows how many years of collecting them. Got about £20. I don’t actually remember how much but it wasn’t a lot. Don’t miss the tbf.

YoungAdult#2 has got into vinyl so has saved my old records that Mrs C_S has been threatening to throw out for years.

I’ve still got some select vinyl in the loft but nothing to play them on. Not sure I could differentiate wow/flutter/tinnitus these days. :frowning:

I still have boxes of vinyl in the loft too (and nothing to play it on). Some of the record sleeves are signed by the artists, may be worth a bit as some ofthem are dead now.
