CHRISTMAS TV 2020 INCLUDING NETFLIX AND OTHER PLACES AS WELL AS TV

[lolly]

I can't believe the BBC won't try to replicate the huge success of Gavin and Stacey with something.

And sure enough

 

[Rita]

I LOVE The Vicar of Dibley!! Why so late to announce??

IT’S NOT A BIG REVIVAL. JUST 3 x 10 MINUTE EPISODES FILMED OVER ZOOM

 

[Rita]

Oh.

 

[lolly]

Aren't pretty much all the cast DEAD other than the father and son?

 

[FetchFugly]

Aren't pretty much all the cast DEAD other than the father and son?

Yes even three ten minute Zoom episodes feels like a bit of a stretch with so much of the cast missing. I think Alice in particular will leave a very noticeable gap.

 

[Rita]

Aren't pretty much all the cast DEAD other than the father and son?

I was going to come in here and say ALICE but then remembered she also passed away.

 

[Rita]

Jim has dementia too.

 

[lolly]

Jim has dementia too.

Advanced dementia in 2017 apparently, and now in a nursing home.

 

[Nancy]

IS HE THE ONE THAT SAYS NO NO NO NO NO A LOT?

 

[Rita]

IS HE THE ONE THAT SAYS NO NO NO NO NO A LOT?

Yes, that’s the very man.

 

[lolly]

This really is just a way of the BBC justifying repeats of Vicar Of Dibley at Christmas, isn't it?

[big ron]

TO BE FAIR AROUND THIS TIME LAST YEAR I WAS HAVING A FIGHT ON MDMA IN ORCHID KARAOKE SO I CANT FUCKING TALK

 

[big ron]

The Great Christmas Bake Off
1 x 75’
Love Productions for Channel 4
Contact: Kate Conway

Paul Hollywood, Prue Leith and Matt Lucas are joined by Bake Off: The Professionals host Tom Allen as they celebrate Christmas in the famous white tent. Also invited to the celebrations are Jamie and Rosie from 2019, Ruby from 2018 and James from 2017, all back and ready to battle in the festive fight for the Christmas Star Baker title. They’ll round off Christmas with popstar Alexandra Burke as she performs her magical version of “Silent Night”.

 

[Hard Rock Ag-elujah]

Re: Vicar of Dibley. I think four of the cast is still alive. I think even Dads Army did better for longer.

PAULINE QUIRKE GOSSIP - SHE IS FILMING A NEW DRAMA FOR CHANNEL 5 SO OBVIOUSLY HAS NOT GIVEN UP ACTING, DESPITE WHAT LINDA SAID

[Nancy]

HAS ANYONE WATCHED “THE PRINCESS SWITCH”? I’M THINKING @Rita MIGHT HAVE.

I’M WATCHING IT NOW AND THEN I MIGHT WATCH “THE PRINCESS SWITCH 2”

 

[Nancy]

OMG! FATBOY FROM EASTENDERS AND HANNAH FROM S CLUB 7 ARE IN THE PRINCESS SWITCH 2

 

[Nancy]

ACTUALLY IT’S NOT HANNAH. IT’S JUST SOMEONE WHO LOOKS AND SOUNDS LIKE HER.

 

[Ellie]

I watched HOLIDATE on Netflix with Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey. Kristin Chenoweth is a horny aunt in it and looks ABOUT 70.

It’s worth a watch.

Watching this now. It was filmed in NORFOLK.

The costumes look like they were stolen from Wicked

Apparently the BBC are announcing their Christmas line up tomorrow, although not the full schedule until next week.

The BBC blurb:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-55042114

Slim pickings though I do normally like a Call The Midwife Christmas special and always enjoy Motherland. Also Dame Diana Rigg's final turn as a nun in Black Narcissus.

I fully expect the Strictly top 25 special to be completely nonsensical.

 

[Say Sheena-na-na]

I glanced at that first of all and thought Diana Rigg was playing a BLACK NUN.

I was RATHER SURPRISED all in all.

 

[Eddie]

Does anyone have a penchance for the Ch5 Xmas TV films?

 

[Ellie]

All starring Dean Cain for some reason.

 

[PercyPig]

Does anyone have a penchance for the Ch5 Xmas TV films?

I think I’ve managed to watch Mrs. Miracle in full over the years despite never actually watching it one sitting.

 

[Nancy]

CHRISTMAS CHRONICLES 2 IS NOW ON NETFLIX. THINK I’M GOING TO SAVE IT FOR THE WEEKEND.
