    The last 12 months have absolutely flown by, how is it Christmas already.

    Haven't seen any schedules I'm guessing it will be Back to the Future, Harry Potter and Home Alone, the usual stuff, I know Kielty is doing the NYE show for RTE and I presume the Hootenanny is on as well.

    Anyway Happy Christmas to everyone still around here.

    Just seen that I’m getting near to 70,000 posts.


    Not that I’m sad enough to time it so that my 70,000th. post will be ‘HAPPY NEW YEAR’ at midnight on NYE.

    I noticed that the movie ‘Skyscraper’ was on RTE One last night.

    I assume it was the one starring Dwayne Johnson, and not the far superior film starring Anna Nicole Smith.

    For fans of The Stunning, their new documentary ‘We Come Alive’ airs tonight on RTE One at 11.40pm.

    DO ‘BREWING UP A STORM’!

    Did the profoundly unfunny Callan Kicks The Year make the cut this year? The only thing worse than Callan attempting to do impressions on the radio is having him do them on the TV while wearing a wig.

    Licence payers money shouldn’t be going on that sort of terrible rubbish.

    I’ve said it elsewhere but this has to be the worst Christmas from RTE I’ve seen in years - I am not one to unashamedly bash RTE and I’ll always give credit where it’s due but this year RTE seems to have just decided to give Christmas a complete skip bar a number of movie premieres. Even the Christmas RTE Guide is missing the usual pizzazz and interviews with RTE stars. I know the station’s in dire straits but it seems they’ve basically decided Christmas is cancelled.

    And to be fair to them it’s looking like their best effort at New Years in quite a while.

    Any info on the ‘NYE Countdown Concert’?

    Where is it? Who’s playing?

    And will Joe Duffy make an appearance to remind us that families have had it hard this year and some famous people died?

    Picture This I think are the headline act for the Countdown concert, and seems to be in Dublin Castle.

    As to Joe... couldnt rule him out for a cameo on the Late Late!

    This years ‘A Ghost Story for Christmas’ is based on Arthur Conan Doyle’s ‘Lot No. 249’.

    Will be on BBC2 at 10pm on Christmas Eve. Looking forward to that.

    I read an interview with Mark Gatiss and they picked a Conan Doyle piece as a companion to the Lucy Worsley documentary about the author.

    They may not have gotten a stand alone Ghost Story produced without some tie in.

    Is it me, or is the audio slightly out of sync with the visual.

    I never really watched Crossroads, was a bit before my time and not the sort to be repeated.

    But I thought this was very good, the cast is excellent and there's some nice periods touches.

    Love Darkness On The Edge Of Town.

    This solo acoustic version of Born in the USA is top class too.

    And the sax solo in Jungleland was incredible.

    Not going to watch the Ricky Gervais Netflix thing, I might end up in a coma if I'm exposed to a single second because of how edgy and controversial he is.
