Good a programme as it is , would like to see something I have not seen before over the holidays. Really struggled to find things to watch. Missed the top gear special, was in the pub, so can look forward to that. Did I miss anything else of note o ver the holiday?
No. Apart from Top Gear it's been complete and utter gash. You know they have nothing new when they repeat they same show twice on two consecutive nights at the sme time.
I'd write to the BBC and complain if I had a TV licence.

I usually try to avoid TV over Chritstmas Day and for a few days before and after. However, with the benefit of iPlayer and the other On-Demand services I can select what I missed and now want to watch over the next few days.I watched the James May Hornby Train progtramme on iPlayer last night. That was enjoyable.

How about the remake of Day of the Triffids that was showing the same time on BBC1 (and HD)She was indeed rather attractive. I find it quite informing that it was Rowan who found it the most difficult to get on with her.
Also interesting that the 4 of them have had stunningly successful lives since. Pamela became BC's fulltime manager as his wife and lets face it has pretty much made him the most successful comedian and comic Britain has produced.
GRJ and Mel Smith had that staple of British comic life, Alas Smith and Jones and then diversified their careers massively to become in their own ways pillars of the Establishment. Who would ever have thought GRJ would become almost an "intellectual" ? Mel Smith is now a producer and runs his own highly successful production company.
RA. Needs nothing more said.
Oh and the last thing, highly ironic. When RA left and used the agents words of "time to stop playing with the 2nd XI", what did he go and do? Go and work with Richard Curtis on BlackAdder, the same guy who was writing Not

Isn't Pamela also a psychiatrist or have I got that completely wrong!!Also interesting that the 4 of them have had stunningly successful lives since.

Pamela is indeed a therapist ("Sex" therapist to be precise)
Mel Smith had a break-down a few years ago.
It's not so "celeb" rosy as that doc would have one believe
ETA - that's not imply Mrs Connolly is somehow "less" or anything, it was more about Mel Smith
