Christmas on terestrial Posted Tue Dec 19 10:42:37 GMT 2000 by 'Johnny Banana'

The Time of year has come around again for Christmas Idents on BBC 1, BBC 2, Carlton\LWT (ITV), Channel 4 & Channel 5 but how do they shape up in my opinion (can't spell).

Well BBC1 has done another excellent one with someone (santa) actually been in the balloon. Last years was good but 1998's was Poor. BBC 2's has gone mental this with loads of Skiing 2's so promises ot be good.

ITV's is not bad actually the windup Robin looks very good especially compared to the millenium Fairy last year. Sadly though Carlton & LWT don't use hearts anymore (Although there is a possiblity LWT might as it's re-edits have the same basic layout of the ITV Hearts.

Channel 4 has the 4 in a box replaced by a Xmas Tree but that's all we know of it

Channel 5 actually has good ones this year, last year they were shite this year they ain't bad (especially now the people in them don't appear at they end.

We'll have to wait & see four BBC 1, 2 & C4's until at least friday (channel4) & as for Carlton\LWT who knows.

BBC2's done a skiing one. I wonder if Jane Root commissioned that one, as she was hoping she could in her BBC Online interview.

Oh, it's so pointless hating her...I just can't help it.

I don't see how anybody could have sit through that film in the cinema, my brother got it on video and I still haven't seen it from start to finish in one sitting. With the seats so cramped at all my local cinemas I would have thought that film to be thrombosis inducing, and therefore banned on health risks.

I sat through the other Titanic movie - the TVMovie - on Sky once, thinking it was the big blockbuster job. It was bleeding diabolical, but the fact that I didn't twig for ages speaks volumes for the quality of Cameron's shower of cack.

Millions will be forced to watch it as well as part of the whole family xmas crap (but not me if I can help it!) I got this advice for surviving it from a mailing list I'm on.

"When the iceberg hits, surreptitiously switch over to ITV's all-star panto with Ed Byrne and Patsy Kensit and see how long it takes before anyone notices."

Ugh. Got dragged into that one by a couple of female friends and ended up stuck right in the middle of a very long row of a packed cinema so no hope of escape (and after all that time I *really* needed the little boys room). And I woke up with 'flu. Fantwattintastic.

I'm a bitter, bitter man.

I would have thought after Titanic you would of drowned your sorrows in a whisky...on the rocks.





That was uncalled for, and obscure...

I'm waiting for Cameron to tackle some other great tragedies.

Could we please see Matt Damon buried in slurry in "Aberfan"?

Or the cast of Ally McBeal in "DeathShip-The Herald of Free Enterprise Story"
