Xmas TV

Is it me, or has the TV this Xmas been the worst ever?

Repeat after repeat, Jeremy "fecking" Clarkson etc, and some really crap films.

Almost makes me want to go boating!!!!

I dont know about it being the worst Tony, but id agree its bad.

We generally only use our TV to watch films that we have bought. I have spent too many hours of my time hoping to be entertained by television only to be bitterly disappointed.

Don't tell me, let me guess, the "jeremy clarkson show". What we need is Hammond to have another drive in a rocket car, but have Clarkson as a passenger!

I see on Facebook that there's talk that this might be the last top gear series, could we be that lucky???

I actually find James May entertaining, his series on toys being excellent, it's just those other pair that nob me off.

But my 'forum persona' is faultless! Isn't it?

I admit, I don't suffer fools gladly, and we do rather 'collect' them here.

It may have been from a west country point of view!

From the centre of the known Universe, it was quite good.

Yeah, couldnt help wondering how the camera and sound crew were able to film and record everything ok whilst the three stooges were all dying!

I can only imagine that the crew were all equipped with oxygen masks.
