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.

    • I have sympathy with any voter, anyone, who having witnessed the last 14 years and then Labour in the last year and wonders just how can things be this bad  unless a) they voted for brexit b) voted Tory after 2010 c) is thinking of voting reform  because anyone who thinks reform won’t make things a thousand times worse after voting for the previous?  It is they who are the problem.  They are the reason the country is in the doldrums with an embarrassingly-timid Labour government  Specifically Chris mason - a not very bright right leaning stooge - large part of why bbc news has become grok-level slop  
    • In what way? Maybe it just felt more intelligent and considered coming directly after Question Time, which was a barely watchable bun fight.
    • Yes, all this. Totally Sephiroth. The electorate wants to see transformation overnight. That's not possible. But what is possible is leading with the right comms strategy, which isn't cutting through. As I've said before, messaging matters more now than policy, that's the only way to bring the electorate with you. And I worry that that's how Reform's going to get into power.  And the media LOVES Reform. 
    • “There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda ” I would call this “generous”   Labour should never have made that tax promise because, as with - duh - Brexit, it’s pretending the real world doesn’t exist now. I blame Labour in no small part for this delusion. But the electorate need to cop on as well.  They think they can have everything they want without responsibilities, costs or attachments. The media encourage this  Labour do need to raise taxes. The country needs it.  Now, exactly how it’s done remains to be seen. But if people are just going to go around going “la la laffer curve. Liars! String em up! Vote someone else” then they just aren’t serious people reckoning with the problem yes Labour are more than a year into their term, but after 14 years of what the Tories  did? Whoever takes over, has a major problem
