QUOTE(bah... humbug... @ Dec 23 2016, 10:46 AM)  Looking forward to Witness for the Prosecution I was as well. Wished I hadn't bothered now. I'm going to have to dig out the old Charles Laughton / Marlene Deitrich one to cleanse my mind of it. Or close my eyes and try and relive the brilliant production that Wigan Little Theatre did of it. |

I don't know anyone that actually watched Christmas TV live this year, we didn't even have the TV on on Christmas day
 The catch up and recording services mean that it's not a necessity to watch the shows live so we will definitely continue to see ratings decline or stay very similar. |

That was bit of a dull squib, I was expecting more from it, not sure if I want to bother with the final episode tonight but there is nothing else on TV |

I'd stick to the 1957 film though if I were you - or if its staged at a local theatre (an am-dram production) go and see that. |

Episode 2 of WFTP was AMAZING. That twisted ending
 Andrea Riseborough was absolutely phenomenal.

I stuck with it in the end, part II was a lot better, the ending was quite good, with that twist. This is one book I did not read and I wasn't aware of the original film. Great performance from Andrea Riseborough, I just fell in love with the character in the end. I hope BBC1 keep on adapted the novels for TV every year |

Jonathan Creek special, superb, I was quite intrigued and glued to the TV screen as the story unfolded, my partner worked it all out, especially the phony bit
 so much better than last year's Christmas special

Enjoyed the Jonathan Creek special the other day, it was definitely back to the original spirit of the show with a mix of the absurd and the guessable with a bizarre side plot thrown in for good measure.

I enjoyed Ch4 the best - they just showed classic Christmas films like Home Alone and Its a Wonderful Life.

Did you catch Cunk on Shakespeare earlier in the year? That was hands down the funniest half hour of TV I've ever seen, Cunk on Christmas was good but couldn't come close to the brilliance of the first one. 2016 Wipe was obviously great, a lot of hilarious things that came out of it and some brilliant observations. Probably one of the few times I have actually been a bit depressed when watching one of the Wipes just because I was reminded of all the events, all the things that were said all at once. Loved the fact that they did a Moments of Wonder on the Apocalypse (or a 'Pocalypse')! |

It was a shame there was no Doug Stanhope or Adam Curtis feature this year but still a good Wipe - especially the Trump parody of OutKast written by CasssetteBoy.

I'm not the biggest fan of Doug Stanhope but I suppose it might have been good regarding Trump. Apparently the first edit was 90 minutes long so there was a lot of material left on the cutting room floor!

I didn't really enjoy it. Jonathan didn't seem to be all that bothered that he'd just murdered someone (this was brushed over very quickly) and I just miss Caroline Quentin and the old windmill too much. |
