    I watch both every year since I started with watching both about 5 years ago. First is a masterpiece, second is ok but I still enjoy it.


    Was listening to the desert islands discs podcast with Raymond Briggs today. Never knew he was such is a miserable sod. He absolutely hates Christmas. Said his ideal Christmas is locked away somewhere until it's all over. Said he can't stand the period and also said he made Santa grumpy in his other story as he said Santa would be a horrible person who would hate his job of he were real.

    Listened to him being interviewed a few years back, think it was around the time the snowman sequel was being released and he sounded a right miserable old git back then too. He came across quite poorly on that interview and managed to squeeze in his dislike for christmas then too. To be fair IIRC he was more angry with the commercialisation of christmas and was saying it should be a far simpler holiday, but that pandoras box had been opened and that was that. And as grumpy as he was he did have a point.

    Bit rich from him considering the commercialisation of Christmas lined his pockets really well.

    I'm glad now I'm not mad about The Snowman, or I'd be a bit peeved! 😂

    "Christmas Comedy Club with Lost Voice Guy 2022" is the strangest name for a tv show. Like something from the Simpsons.

    Am in two minds about The Detecorists as loved the series and how it ended.

    I'm always unsure about a TV show making a reappearance after an absence of a few years/after it wrapped up.

    I've never seen the Detectorists, and they've taken it off Netflix now. 😐

    I only saw the last series of The Detectorists, it's real slow paced, switch your mind off kinda telly. Just what's needed sometimes.

    I'm hoping the World Cup won't interfere with the Christmas TV schedule too much. I'm not a big soccer fan and it's going to be strange having all those matches on in December!

    I binge watched it in summer over one week, one episode a night at end of the day ... after one episode didn't really grab me, but it's a slow grower and then when a series ended I missed having it. Perfect unwind TV, gentle comedy.

    He’s only 55 so I’m hoping it’s makeup for the movie cause I thought the same!
