They are repeating the entire Peep Show Series 8 on Monday night (Channel 4, 11.25pm), but I didn't much like the eighth series. Very poor IMO. :(

Oh I agree, I think they started running out of ideas after about series 6 (as they do with any programme tbh). Didn't quite have the same feel to it as previous series'.

Top Of The Pops 2 Christmas is back tonight. YAY.

Will definitely be watching Eastenders, Top of The Pops & The Nation's Favourite Christmas Songs. :wub:

Top Of The Pops 2 Christmas is on now!

Sarah Millican was hilarious :rofl: (although for some reason, it wasn't on until 10.30 because Limmy's Show was on at 10.00, hmm)

Obviously tonight's tele-visual event of the year is of course the Series 8 Only Connect Final on BBC Four (8.30pm) hosted by the outstandingly wonderful Victoria Coren-Mitchell.

 

But there is another treat on at 7pm on Channel 4 - The Nigella Bites Christmas Special repeat. With added *.*

So how did you get on with Only Connect?

I got the music one, the zones in the Crystal Maze ( :D ) and the differentiation calculus question right. I think that was about it.. :( I wanted the bakers to win as well, but he board gamers were worthy winners.

One of the great things about the programme is that there have been very few teams I have disliked so I don't generally mind who wins.

 

I got the calculus one but not the Crystal Maze as I never watched it. OTOH I got the Morecambe and Wise sketch after the second clue.

 

Roll on the next series of the best serious quiz on telly :D
