The seventh one down sums it up for me..... POINTLESS.

Christmas is for families or if your on your own getting pissed or indeed both together. Can't think of any time that I have watched TV on Christmas day.

This, with bells on.

Not even a Top Gear special this year either (admittedly last years special was moved by the BBC to February this year for some bizarre reason).

Nailed it. Looks like the driest bullshit on TV. And that includes that rubbish with the obnoxious little twats, Outnumbered.

If you're rubbishing it due to the lack of Arkwright, then fair enough. If you dislike Open All Hours in general, then we need to have a conversation.

But it's almost guaranteed 10 million viewers.

It's known as 'The Last of the Summer Wine paradigm'.

Last of the Summer Wine is utter toilet. How many times can an old man roll down a hill like a prat? Boring programme, although I like Wallace and Barraclough from Porridge.
