Amongst all the drudgery TV - there was only 1 bright star for me

Sky Indie showed the "musical" version of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, filmed at Birmingham I think, to a sell out exhibition centre, with Jeff at his best and an orchestra and support cast that did the show proud

If ya didn't see it, I hope it repeats, catch it its superb

Re-runs of Michael Palins Around the World in 80 days. Trouble is I kept forgetting it was on and he ended up going from Bombay back round to London in 2 programmes

cant say there was much on that really entertained me this crimbo but theres a programme on tonight that i think looks quite good called my fake baby.

Telly was rubbish as ever. I bought the wife the entire "Cracker" series on DVD as part of her present, and we spent a few evenings watching each of the episodes in sequence. The wife had said it was one of her alltime favourite programmes, but Ive never seen the show before and thought every episode was quality, excellent viewing.

Cracker was classic tv gold
