My Big Fat Gypsy Christmas. As annoying as I found it with 'beautiful'(ugly, hideous, disgusting) dresses, very fake stupid girls, pointless traditions, not being able to understand a word they were saying, the fact they are indoctrinated from when they are born, you have to laugh at how idiotic and pathetic everyone is. I also saw London's Burning which was good, but could have done with showing more of the troubles, The Borrowers TV version which was very good and Route 66 which was somewhat fascinating, if a tad boring. And do forgive me if I lose count of the amount of films and TV programmes I've seen around Christmas. Definitely watch Lost Christmas and Without You, both excellent, one about an intriguing man who turns up at Christmas to try and get everyone to do the right things and the other about a women turning detective to try and figure out the circumstances of her husband's death.

Second episode of Sherlock, not as good as the first. Re-watched the pilot of Twin Peaks and finally got around to finishing off the second season of Boardwalk Empire, which was absolutely amazing, best show on TV right now.

The Doctor Who Christmas special, i found it nice but unworthy of doctor who....What the hell is going on with thoses stories....That's supposed to be science fiction and not some weird fantastic stuff with a bit of science fiction...
It was by far the best Christmas episode since the revamp of the show. Definitely not an unworthy Doctor Who. It also felt rather Christmasy thanks to the Narnia influence and it had plenty of science fiction...

After last years bore of a Christmas special with a singing Katherine Jenkins, this was an extremely wonderful episode for Christmas.

And if she didn't have a family, I thought Claire Skinner would make an excellent companion for the Doctor.



Last watched Absolutely Fabulous - two more episodes to go. Really enjoyed the new one. And the usual 'Christmas' soaps - Coronation Street(what a zzzzzzzzzz) and Eastenders with everyone acting too dramatically with the screaming and shouting in a square disaster and finally a nasty end to Yusef - yay, fabulous.

Re watched the three Scherlock to be in the mood for the new season, i hope this is gonna be as good as thoses ones.

I'm just lost with thoses Dr Who episodes with no explanation at all...I mean i don't care that i don't understand how the thing is happening but i want someone trying to explain...

And for me the best christmas episode is "Voyage of the Damned" so i think you can understand why i'm disapointed by this one ^^

I watched the third episode last night. Far better than the rather mediocre second episode, probably because I found the reveal of Moriarty incredibly well executed. Love how the actor who plays him interprets the character.

Will definitely be watching the second series.

Watched the first episode of three Great Expectations. It was great, but I swear I wanted to murder the people who kept on hitting the poor orphan. Performances in the film are fantastic. Ray Winstone despite not being in it much has an acting style that you will not be likely to forget. Gillian Anderson and David Suchet are other random faces that you may not notice, but are acted very well. Actually quite dark. Bear Grylls with Miranda was quite humorous and entertaining. I'm trying to find Brian Cox's Night With the Stars, but it seems I waited too long as it's not on BBCiPlayer anymore.

I LOVE Ab Fab. It's one of the best comedies ever.

Brian Cox's Night With the Stars. It's quite fascinating and it helps bringing in famous faces into the audience. I still hate the subject of science overall, but it makes it slightly interesting here.

Eddie Stobart's Christmas Delivery. This is about lorry and truck drivers driving through either quite bad weather conditions or with time restrictions in the run up to Christmas. It shows everyone that getting Christmas stuff to the shops is harder than it may sound and was very entertaining.

I'll be watching the second episode of Great Expectations tonight and tomorrow I hope to see Fast Freddie, the Widow and Me tomorrow.

I'm looking for an animated TV series about horses. It's in the vein of the movie Spirit and I remember loving it as a young kid, so I'd say it's about 9 years old or older. I'd really like help in finding out the name of it.
