I shall watch Emmerdale and Corrie.

GBBO

SCD

Call The Midwife

Who Wants to Be A Millionaire

Gogglebox (must check if its on) Lol

A lot of jiggering around with the remote. Recording stuff on +1 or catch up.

I was never a fan of Gavin and Stacey so that helps.

Love to hear what you think of GBBO tomorrow @Cleoriff ...

Hope you enjoy your other choices of viewing [and have complete control of the remote ]

I'm recording the soaps. The rest of the time will be watching Netflix. I don't feel well enough to go for Christmas dinner at my son's and I guess some of the day will be spent in bed.

Thank you @EmilieT and @Cleoriff

My son has just been with the boys so that was nice.

He wanted to take me to hospital but I'm there for tests on Friday and Saturday so I'll wait till then. Never felt this bad though.

Did anyone watch The Limehouse Golem on BBC2?

It was a real gem of a film, for those who like murder, mystery and mayhem in Victorian times. Based loosely on a true story and starring the great Bill Nighy as the detective in charge of finding the Limehouse Golem, it made for excellent viewing with a surreal twist. It features some real life characters such as Dan Leno and Karl Marx, who 'could have been the Golem'

I thoroughly enjoyed it,.

No I didn't see it but it seems I missed a good programme. I'm not a big fan of anything set in Victorian times to be honest.

Guess it will have to be catchup TV the. No doubt it will be repeated twice in the coming week

I missed it @Cleoriff . I enjoy murder/mysteries set in Victorian times and do like films with Bill Nighty, so hope it is repeated very soon.

@Mi-Amigo

Can't you get it on catch up?

Edited to say, it IS on BBC2 catch up. It was shown on Friday but I didn't watch it till yesterday.
