The Christmas / New Year 2018 TV Forum Thread !
-
21-12-2018 11:31pm#1Hello!
What's this all about?
Well, Christmas is a time for Television and we in the Television Forum had a Christmas TV thread in 2017, so it's now a tradition. Here is the 2017 edition, would you look at the hairstyles, what were we thinking? https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=105575004
Feel free to let us know about anything decent looking you have circled in your TV Guide, or if you're watching something but you can't be bothered opening a thread about it.
Or have a moan about how the schedules are messed up. Or if you see a classic film on. That sort of thing. The door is open to anything at all, really. It's a bit of a continuity thread until things get back to normal in January.
Is Die Hard on? What about Willy Wonka? Any decent Christmas Specials ocurring? What's not on that should be on?
Don't be shy, and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to each and every one of you. And that includes you lurkers. Go on, give us a post.

I assume Father Ted will be on RTE and Channel 4 again, good times
Yes best of them on tonight/tomorrow morning on Channel 4...
9 - A Christmassy Ted
Ted's quick thinking whilst lost in a department store's lingerie department earns him the coveted Golden Cleric award. So why doesn't he feel happy? Mrs Doyle's attempts to hang up the Christmas decorations become undone around her. She's also none too pleased at her Christmas present. Meanwhile, an "old friend" of Ted decides the time is ripe for a visit. When first shown, this hour-long episode attracted Channel 4's largest ever non-film audience viewing figures.
00:10 - A Song for Europe
Ted is goaded by Father Dick Byrne into attempting to write a song for "Eurosong '96" (spoof of the Eurovision Song Contest). Despite having a song with only one note, Ireland's fear of winning again (and having to fund it) plays into Ted and Dougal's hands. This mirrors the real life belief that Ireland chose the 1994 Eurovision entry, "Rock 'n' Roll Kids", which was thought to differ greatly from the typical winning song, so as to ensure that they did not have to host the contest again.
00:40 - Are You Right There Father Ted?
Ted's "Chinaman" impression goes down badly with Craggy Island's newly arrived Chinese community and he is branded a racist. In an attempt to prove he isn't a racist, Ted decides to hold a presentation on multiculturalism in Craggy Island to the Chinese. The title is a play on "Are Ye Right There Michael", a comic song by Percy French about the West Clare Railway.
01:10 - Speed 3
When Ted and Dougal expose a philandering milkman, Pat Mustard, he takes revenge on his replacement, Dougal, by putting a bomb on the milk float. If Dougal's speed drops below 4 mph, the bomb will explode, taking Dougal with it...
01:35 - Escape from Victory
Part 1 of 2. Ted takes great steps to ensure he wins a bet with Dick Byrne on the outcome of the All-Priests Over-75's Five-a-Side Football Championship. The title is a pun on the football movie Escape to Victory, about a football game played between prisoners of war and their guards in World War II.
02:05 - Kicking Bishop Brennan Up the Arse
Part 2 of 2. The only episode to follow on directly from the previous one. Exposed as a cheat at the end of the previous episode, and with this episode's title as his forfeit, a terrified Ted tries to draw upon his courage to complete the deed.0 -

Just play ‘When Will I Be Famous’ and ‘I Owe You Nothing’, then GTFO
If they don't play Sister or Drop the Boy then they are scorching the Bros legacy, tbh.0 -
