Is the BBC obsessed with Christmas?

Everytime I switch the wireless on it is selling the excitement of Christmas with adverts for their schedule designed to fill hours of your life with jolly jingles and canned laughter.


I think they may be mad, it is a festival sure, one most appreciated by children. But for grown ups I am not sure that it has much to offer.

Why do they bother?
 
dont watch the bbc unless football or a good documentary is on but yeah i can imagine them getting obsessed with it
 
Im biased I know but tis the season to be jolly is it not?
That said, I'm sure I could put in a good word for some depressing destruction type trailers instead :wink:
 
Happy Hanukkah BBC417 :D

Fin, totally agree, they do get obsessed but understandably so, as there is so much focus on Christmas ratings by the industry. inkey$, it is the season to be jolly, except for soaps which always want a bit of doom and gloom :roll: For me, Christmas is about the kids - New Year is about the adults :dance2: :drinkwine: :cheers:
 
Bah humbug :D

Lucy has been counting down the sleeps for forever it seems, can't come quick enough for her. As for the BBC can't say I've noticed as I don't watch it, record everything I want to see and watch it at my pleasure.

Now there you have a point (not just the Beeb of course and there are other soap channels, although Eastenders is a mighty soap behemoth!) Christmas is about the kids. Which is why I hope you and yours will be watching the Christmas special of Doctor Who next week :thumbsup:

And if all that fails there's a very handy button on your television sets called 'standby/off' :thumbsup:
 
Inks, can you organise a few Top Gear trailers with caravans being blown up? You can even play Christmas carols as a soundtrack! That would cheer me up no end!!

Of course... About the only thing (except films) that I will be watching. Have the outlaws staying and Gran normally takes over the tv schedules for the evening so will be relegated to a different room in the evenings :D

Is there a Christmas special for top gear this year, OG? Sure hope so, as it will be added to my list :thumbsup:

Not sure Mark, but I follow Clarkson on Twitter and he mentioned that they'd just finishing the filming for the new series so hopefully that won't be long in coming.
