'Twas the weekend of Christmas and all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. And not due to sleeping, not even a touch; just down to the fact that they'd eaten too much.
Coralled on the sofa, sedated by soaps, And by sketch shows the texture of worn-out old rope, Eyes fixed on the telly, as if with some glue, They gladly heralded the new Doctor Who.
"Now Tennant! Now Billie! Now Ant and/or Dec! Now Five's festive re-runs of (strange, this) Star Trek! On Tarrant and all of his charity prizes! On Bonds large and small wearing various diguises!
To the channels terrestrial! To the channels on cable! All jabbering away like televisual babel! Jabber on! Jabber on! All jabber away! From cold Christmas Eve to Indigestion day!"
Anyway ...
In a change from our advertised programme, I hereby offer you the televisual choices for this coming weekend, the best of the films and, for the ever-present number of "I don't even have a television" commenters who like to comment on TV posts, here's what's good this holiday weekend on the wireless, all taken from today's Guardian.
Happy Christmas to all; and to all, a good night.
