Radio Times

Some great stuff there for me - DW of course..

Outnumbered - one of the best new series I've seen in ages  -a Christmas special

Turn of the Screw - one of my favourite ghost stories - creepy children!  doubt it will be as good as the B/W film but hey, there's nothing like a ghost story at Christmas

:xmas
Same for me - so no fighting over the remote Chez Merry!  :)  - oh, actually probably no fighting as it'll either have gone missing or in the safe control of Mr Merry who will still be sporting a limpen Christmas-cracker hat at 6pm on Christmas Day ...  ;)

Outnumbered is great - usually I hate things with children in, but it had so many good reviews I had to give in and give it a go in the end.
If the Xmas TV fails me I have a few things I've not got around to watching yet that I can put on, but I will enjoy Dr Who as always.

Nothing wrong with things with children in them. There's casserole, beef burgers...  :lol It's a good way to deal with the ones who get in the way of the TV (or who hog the remote)

If Dante had a TV he'd have had a special place for those people who wait until the opening credits start and then remember something they just have to do or say.  :devil

Maybe I should watch Turn of the Screw. I've watched lots of things based on it, but not sure I ever got to see the actual thing all the way through.
:lol  Pani.  The original Turn of the Screw is very scary - but you would turn your nose up at it being in black-and-white  :p

STPD do you remember the Woman in Black we watched one Xmas?   :(  :(
No - but I see that BBC has decided not to show a Sadlers Well ballet wot was going out before the watershed on BBC4.

The Ballet called Eternal Damnation To Sancho And Sanchez and produced by a Venezuelan choreographer called Javier de Frutos.

As part of the entertainment, it do show a hunchback Pope strangling a Pregnant Nun with a rosary bead necklace.

Big SUBLs shocked by this, but probably not little SUBLs wot know how to see all this sort of thing on their mobile phone Internet connections and laptops, as you can see below.

Wergh.
I like ghost stories at Christmas.  Like M. R. James.

Except I always miss them  :bang
:lol  Midge

Did you see the Crooked House last Christmas, Ravenstone? (if you are int he UK that is..) That was very good!

I think I have a DVD full of MR James - must dig it out at Xmas.

The Woman in Black I mentioned above was quite dull and slow - until a highly shocking moment that had me and a small STPD shrieking and running out of the room with our hair standing on end like Struwwelpeter.  Unfortunately things like that stay with me and tend to come back at 1 am :(  

So I won't be watching Paranormal Activity when it comes out on DVD - though I wish I could.
Nope.  Missed that as well.  And I've never seen Woman in Black either.  Terrible of me, I know. Thing is, I always find out about these things afterwards.

Gawd bless iPlayer though.  I keep missing Spooks, found out Richard Armitage stripped down in Thursday's episode, but managed to download it and watched it last night.  Phew!

Just about most things on television I find out about after the event   :ohwell

Oh I know!  And I remember the Bad Old Days when a programme missed was missed forever.

I once, in the 80s, saw a very short snatch of a film on TV - it was in Spanish (with subtitles) with a catchy, haunting theme song and a most compelling small girl (oh, those big, black, tragic eyes!) in the lead role.  I never forgot it but not even knowing the title I never thought I would see it again.

Nearly 30 years later, thanks to the internet, to Youtube, to Panikos  :cuddle  I now own the film Cria Cuervos and it's just as special as I thought it might be.  

Things are seldom lost forever these days...
I'm terrible at remembering when something is on too. I used to hate watching a series or a two part film as I knew I'd end up missing some of it. Nowadays it's not a problem.
