When I were a nipper we used to make our own entertainment and we'd count ourselves very lucky if we got smallpox or tuberculosis for Christmas. Even luckier if we got penicillin for it.

We were evicted from our hole in the ground!

You lucky bastard! We would've counted ourselves very lucky to have a hole in the ground to be evicted from.

Honestly - I have hardly watched tv this Christmas.

I watched the BBC news yesterday online - Just to see WTF the weather was doing in Leeds.
I turned the tv on only to watch a cheeky download of Martian.

King Kong
The 1930's original seemed to be on EVERY year when I was a kid

Did anyone else watch the new version of Fungus the Bogeyman? It was superb.

When I was at primary school, every Christmas on the last day of term, the whole school would watch a film (on reel to reel projector) it was always either Mary Poppins or Bed-knobs and Broomsticks.

We didn't have a TV at home till I was in secondary school, so it was always super exciting!

Apart from what we were forced to watch with my mother in law it's been Luther and Hinterland, so good but not very jolly. Christmas TOTP was a big deal in our house when I was a kid (I'm the youngest of four so there was nearly always someone at teenage) but I don't think I would have got much out if a 2015 edition.
