Christmas RTE Guide & Christmas TV - *All TV related posts here!*

Hmmm you're welcome. Can you not see a hand/fist with a thumb sticking up at the bottom right of the post? Maybe it's because you only have a few posts?

There are options to quote, multiquote or quick reply. No thumbs up.

You are correct, not enough posts yet.

I'm sorry, I don't understand. I searched and this is the only thread for the Christmas RTE Guide 2012 as far as I can see and I'm finding it very useful. It has 20+ posts and has been going on for a few weeks. I'm new so maybe I'm missing something?

It wasn't directed at you, it was directed at the post above D4rkOnions post. They'd started a new thread, which D4rkOnion merged with this existing one.

I've bought mine but I haven't looked at it yet! It requires a dark afternoon, with the Christmas Tree lights on and a cup of tea

TV3 are showing a programme tonight at 8pm,which is all about Irish homeowners/households outdoing each other to have the most/best Christmass lights in the homes and in their gardens.


Should make for some interesting viewing.:pac::pac::D

Hi all,
Not sure if this should go here or in the TV section..but....does anyone know if the really cheesy movie Surviving Christmas on tv this year? I know I can buy the dvd, but it is a "tradition" :rolleyes: for DH to watch the stupid thing on tv. Its not on tv tonight (and for that I am most grateful )

Thanks!

Just starting now.

Ah, poor Liam, I could cry....

Wow! Martin in Williamstown has the tidiest attic I have ever seen! Doesn't he look great for his age? His Christmas spirit is obviously keeping him looking so well. There is a house in Cloonfad (Mayo/Roscommon border) that goes all out, a huge crib outside the gate, the proceeds go to the hospice there too from what I recall last year.

The scumbags comming along and robbing the barrell with the money in it.

Some people have no thought or respect at all.

There is a thread on book recommendations so I thought I'd make a thread on movies and films.

What movies/dvds would you recommend to watch over the christmas?

Restarting this thread for 2013.

BBC has listed some if the highlights for the season. The "big films" seem to be Toy Story 3, Cars 2, Cnomeo & Juliet and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. These will probably be on RTE also
Dr Who annual Christmas special is on. I think Christmas is the only time I every watch it.
Mrs Brown's Boys has a Christmas Special. Last year's one is on RTE1 on the 20th at 11:05pm
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/25103288

http://digiguide.tv is starting to fill in the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day TV. Not much there yet beyond the predictable shows.

Some RTE "highlights". They might be christmas movies or they might be classic old movies (e.g. cheesy Bonds or Indiana Jones) that we only see at Christmas. Some of the new stuff is still listed as "To be Announced"
