Is it me or has the tv this christmas been really crap?

Topgear was ok got the second part were they are in Iraq, fingers crossed it should be good, other than that it's really been quite a dissapointment :mad:

Maccapacca · 26 Dec 2010 at 18:46

Don't know why we pay so much for Sky really, been sat here just flicking between repeats and rubbish

Uncle Buck: Check
National Lampoons Christmas Vacation: Check
Die Hard: Check

..don't see what you're complaining about.

Cosimo · 26 Dec 2010 at 18:47

We've only watched two hours of it in two days. Yup and most of it is rubbish.

Craig321 · 26 Dec 2010 at 18:47

Royle Family
Doctor Who
Top Gear

Got the basic package on sky so no movies or sports.

EdwardTeach · 26 Dec 2010 at 18:50

Yup pretty poor so far. There often used to be some decent late night films on Christmas day, e.g film noirs, hammer horrors etc nothing this year.

davedudes · 26 Dec 2010 at 18:51

Bloody animations galore. :mad:

I've not owned a T.V. for over a year, can't say I miss it and this years Christmas TV looked terrible anyhow.

Might re-invest once I get my hands on that fancy new Virgin Tivo service, maybe... we'll see

I only watched Top Gear last night. Everything else was either bad or a repeat.

Royle Family was brilliant, hope Top Gear is just as good.

Steve2000 · 26 Dec 2010 at 19:42

Load of ****** for tele this year, infact it's been like this for the past 6 or 7 years really. Just a load of repeats of Only Fools and Horses, Blackadder etc.

Same **** every year.

It's been dreadful I agree. I was rather looking forward to it but had not known how bad the quality of films and shows were. Crappy Shrek, which has been on a billion times and then Santa Claus The Movie (which I do love to bits).

I think Top Gear has been the only 'new' content on TV I have enjoyed.

The US Top Gear was dull, the middle East one had some moments.

I'm actually recording quite a bit of stuff, whether I'll watch much of it is another matter. Then again I've just had a gander through the TV guide and the next few days are terrible. Still it'll give me an excuse to get things done.

The only thing I watched was Top Gear, everything else is boring. They didn't have a very good selection of films on this year.

sid · 26 Dec 2010 at 23:20

Theres still the footie and the ashes on as well

Efour · 27 Dec 2010 at 01:15

oh god i missed this thread but i 100% agree, its been dreadful, top gear was good. I have no interst in cars but those 3 guys are a fantastic comedy trio.

But only a few. The desert "epic" was very lame. It started off with some promise and then just took a wrong turn and turned out to be another BBC extended time slot filler. They’ve lost it in the creativity department and it’s time for them to take a long break. Maybe they should have just got lost in the desert.

And don't worry if you missed last nights Top Gear, you can watch it again.. tonight.. because the beeb are dragging the barrel this year when it comes to christmas tv. So far, the only things that I've watched, have been..

The One Ronnie (didn't quite live up to expectations)
Upstairs Downstairs (hmmmm..)
Top Gear (getting old these days)
Dr Who (interesting trailer at the end)

Christmas tv?
