I've not enjoyed much "light entertainment" on the box lately


Miranda was double-awful, as was pretty much everything else


However, Cuckoo on BBC3 was IMHO bloomin excellent


(staring that guy who looks like a giant Rik Myall)


You can still see it on i-player

Anything else worth watching ?

Have to admit, although I adore Miranda, her Xmas offering was a bit insipid.


I enjoyed "Restless" which is a William Boyd novel helped by the delicious Charlotte Rampling and sexy Rufus Sewell (when are they bringing back "Zen" with those impossibly thin and beautiful 'Italian' women?).


Yesterday I died on the sofa with a box of tissues, lemsip max and a duvet and nodded off and on to a whole afternoon of NCIS which I love but can't begin to explain why.

Christmas is the worst time for TV..


Just repeats of 30-40 year old programms (Morcombe & Wise)

Christmas Top of the Pops.


When you have seen every Carry on film so many times you know the script.


Xfactor...Xfactor Xtra... Xfactor best & worst ...


and then the Pubs close...


Fox.

After a couple of weeks in NZ I'm celebrating the choice we have in the UK. Every night here is a rip-roaring combo of Border Patrol, Police Rescue, High Country Rescue, Animal Rescue, Zoo Babies...


Having searched the (limited) Sky Channels I was pleased to find UKTV, only to despair at the 10 year old episodes of Changing Rooms.

    • But it was under our electoral system in 2019! This must be part of the right-wing media conspiracy that did for Corbyn....;-) Corbyn was very closely allied to Unite and Len....

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets! None of us have any  idea what a Corbyn led government during Covid would have been like. But do you seriously think it would have been worse than Johnson's self-serving performance? What you say about the swing of seats away from Labour in 2019 is true. But you have missed my point completely. The fact that Labour under Corbyn got more than ten million votes does not mean that Corbyn was "unelectable", does it? The present electoral system is bonkers, which is why a change is apparently on the cards. Anyway, it is pointless discussing this, because we are going round in circles. As for McCluskey, whatever the truth of that report, I can't see what it has to do with Corbyn?
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
