Not overly impressed with the christmas selection on UK TV this year I have to say, with repeats of The Chase & Saturday Kitchen shown this morning on BBC 1 & ITV. I had a brief look on Astra 1 and saw both Home Alone 1 & 2 on Puls 4, sadly dubbed though.

Anyone spotted any festive films on any of the birds, particularly not dubbed? :D

The definitive "Santa Claus the movie" was on the Irish channel 3e yesterday but its been on no where else including the $ly movie channels, even their Xmas one has been showing all the Tim Allen ones "The Santa clause" and its follow ups. A very disappointing show by the BBC & ITV ect. The only thing I'm wanting to see is the new Sherlock series (probs about 4 ep's tops) on BBC 1 and that's it.

The hilarious A Christmas Story was on Channel 5 on Thursday hidden away at 2ish PM. I love that movie, especially how real the parents are.

ITV always used to show the truly awful (in my opinion) "National Lampoons Christmas Vacation", I hate all those Chevy Chase outing films, the best film with " National Lampoons " in the title is Animal House, but that's no family film! lol

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

Christmas Vacation was on at the start of the week.
Was Chase in Animal House ?
Caddyshack was one of his best

There should be plenty of interesting shows from Germany and Switzerland.
Unfortunately for me, a lot of channels from Astra 19.2E are not receivable here, only 1M

Very true mate, it is, but Ch4 ruined it by showing it back in October for some reason.
