It's as much a part of Christmas as the turkey, the Queen's speech, and the unfortunate Boxing Day hangover. Yes, it's the annual "outrage at Christmas repeats on TV" story! And this year the Daily Express has beaten the Daily Mail to the punch with today's splash: "Christmas TV is 600 hours of repeats ... endless TV repeats will be a turn-off for viewers." If it looks familiar, then it is - here is last year's effort in the Mail, which appeared on exactly the same date, 3 December. Except there was one thing missing last year - a quote from Lib Dem culture spokesman Don Foster, who is traditionally up in arms about this sort of thing. So it's good to see that Foster is back with a bang this year. "This problem has been going on for years and it's getting worse..." he tells the Express. Welcome back, Don. Merry Christmas!
