After the debacles of A Christmas Carol and Not Going Out last night if Gavin and Stacey stiffs tonight it will all rest on Mrs Brown's Boys to step up to the plate and save the day :wink:

All completely unwatchable.

Not Going Out is very good normally but last night was hideous. It all went wrong when they got married and then hated each other

People still watch Christmas specials? Weird.

Come on Uncle at our age our experience should tell us that almost without exception, every " Christmas Special " is usually turd.

Good point, well made mate. Merry Christmas

Apparently the Eastenders family Xmas meals go well, again

Watching Michael Mcintyre's Big Christmas Show. Fantastic, as you'd expect.

In the TV world the Gavin and Stacey reunion is a big deal but the hype is so great and the bar set so high they have a challenge to match expectations. We shall see

I'm watching Spartacus on ITV4. I'll give Gavin and Stacey a go, but i wonder if the characters will have anything new about them. I suppose Christmas is a time of reminiscence, but we might want a bit more from folk we've most forgotten. And then Eastenders, where someone will probably die. Preferred method, as an ode to the past, would involve daffodils and the canal, or rolling obesely down a mountainside.
Anyway, back to the excellent Spartacus.

Someone will will probably have an argument and fall off a roof. That seems to be a trend in Albert Square

True. They should redo the square into a bungalow community. Someone toppling from about 15 ft would probably release a pained oooooof, and then hobble away, holding their heads a tad and muttering blasted Mitchells

I'm watching this too, a great ensemble of acting Gods with almost as many casualties as EastEnders.

Car accidents in Albert Square are also pretty frequent, despite the fact that Albert Square ( oval-ish ) is so small a car can barely get up to 20mph !

Did Sparticus fall off a roof in the film ?

Falling down the stairs, double drowning in a pool, run over, fell off a roof. So many possibilites. HO HO HO

Possibly there were a lot of them answering by that name.
