This always causes lots of comments about it being a waste of money! which I shall ignore! so don't bother!
I love to have a copy for the two weeks of Christmas and New Year and having given up my regular subscription in February, after a couple of years, it was a no brainer. I popped into the village shop for my copy this year.
I've perused, with my highlighter pen, and found lots of festive Christmas quizzes every day. House of Games, Celebrity Mastermind, Only Connect and then the usual Christmas version of University Challenge with famous or not so famous but clever alumni.
There's a Christmas Special episode of Madame Blanc on Christmas eve and then on Christmas Day Doctor Who and the Strictly Christmas Special. I used to watch Call the Midwife but it makes me cry too much now and if the 2022 version of The Railway Children is anything like the original from 1970 then I daren't watch that either - it has me in floods from the start!
Death in Paradise is back in the sunshine of Saint Marie on the 22nd but I've never got into the Beyond Paradise crime series with Kris Marshall set in Cornwall (or maybe Devon) but the most recent spin off set in Australia ' Return to Paradise' I thought was much better and the the final episode of 6 is on the 27th and also on Friday I'll probably watch The Big Fat Quiz of the Year which has become a bit of an institution despite Jimmy Carr! who is also back with a new series of 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown.
On Jan 1st and 2nd is the very final 2 part Vera story with Brenda Blethyn and there's a documentary about the the making and story of all the series on the 3rd.
I searched through for the usual showing of the Christmas edition of The Good Life and found it on BBC4 next Monday. I don't really need to watch it as I reckon I know it off by heart!
So it's mainly quizzes and crime for me ................sorted for the duration!
I'm very glad of my TV to keep me company, it would be a lonely time without it.
Back Tomorrow

No complaints here. It's what keeps you happy that's important.
ReplyDeleteI always think it's kind of fun to have the Radio Times. I think I've said this before but it was one of the few times we got it!
ReplyDeleteIf you like it, go for it! Well, you do. And you enjoy your planning. I love your choices: crime and quizzes!
