What've you been viewing over the Christmas period?

We've recorded Maigret but haven't seen it yet. We enjoyed the Agatha Christie, but all that coughing got on my wick.

Enjoyed David Walliams and Dame Shirl.

Of course, as always, the highlight of our Christmas viewing is Worlds Strongest Man O_o

I have also recorded Maigret and then discovered the last one from months ago still in the unwatched list

Lots of recorded things to catch up with - Agatha Christie inc - I think the only "live" thing we've seen is Penguins of Madagascar LOL

I thought the Maigret was awful - so slow! Interested that you enjoyed it Nellie. We have the Agatha Christie to watch , Grantchester, Gordon and the Elephants plus just realised I have missed the start of Series 12 of Criminal Minds somehow.

And there in a wood a piggywig stood...

Not a lot interested me this year, but I did enjoy Maigret.

I've never watched Sherlock. I didn't realise, until it was being talked about in recent days, it is modern day stories not remakes of the original. The trailer for the new one on NYD looks good, so I'm going to record it.

I started watching the George Michael concert, but found the music too dreary I'm afraid.

I've watched very little because the place has been infested by visitors lol.

I watched the Agatha Christie whuch I enjoyed. Call The Midwife was good too. I watched a Miss Marple on Christmas Eve which was great. Today's Miss Marple just didn't capture my interest.

I watched the Stella Christmas special earlier which was OK.

Today's day to myself and watching TV hasn't gone to plan as Baby Tink arrived unannounced but I'm not complaining. I have got old episodes of CTM on DVD that I can watch now I'm restored to my day on my own.

I've not watched a lot of mainstream TV. The same old is dished up with a festive twist. I've watched a fair few films though.

I did tune into BBC1 tonight to see 'To Walk Invisible' a drama about the Bronte sisters. I'm beginning to wonder if I've got a hearing problem because once again I found it hard to hear some lines. I had the most trouble with the actress who played Emily Bronte.

I can't say I was impressed with it.

Branwell Bronte, played by Adam Nagaitis, uses the f-word within minutes in the opening episode when he is arguing with his father, Patrick, portrayed by Jonathan Pryce.
Happy Valley writer Sally Wainwright, who is no stranger to controversial drama, said: “There was a debate about whether Branwell would use the word f***. I wasn’t sure about it, but I’m reliably informed that he would have used that word.

There we are then. Reliably informed. I think they were more concerned about some edgy dialogue than anything else.

“We have a sort of period drama language now but I wanted to make it a bit more vibrant and alive. I didn’t want it to sound old-fashioned".
