Oh, to be Norwegian. It has been announced that NRK, the country's state broadcaster, will soon show a programme about a sweater being knitted. That's it. Norwegian viewers will tune in and watch a sheep being sheared, before seeing its wool being spun and used to knit a sweater. This will happen in real time.

Rather more tediously, the Welsh version of Freeview has multiplexes missing so they can fit in the Cymraeg S4C that no one watches any more*.

However, many thanks for the subsidy from the tv licence to keep the boyos in a jobbo making all those progs.

Nobody watches this?

Each year Fferm Ffactor expands and grows, moving up a gear and turning up the heat. And the same is true about the new series in the autumn as it extends to an hour long programme for the first time ever.

More time for quizzing, testing and challenging the ten farmers, with tasks varying from sheep shearing, to driving a tractor; from veterinary tasks to forming a marketing plan. Not forgetting of course having to face questions under the spotlight in the dreaded Chair challenge.

Can't wait....

I'm glad to say that my telly doesn't have one of those.

Does Wales have a dedicated rugby channel instead?

Or one man and his dog?

Oh.

That sort of tablet.

I thought for a moment you meant E or LSD or something similar.

I'm on the mend thanks

[suityou01]

Never seen it. Our telly is stuck on the footie channel.

So now I understand why you run round the park

I've just realised that I haven't used my hard drive at all this Christmas. I've had the flu, which dampens the enthusiasm a bit, but even so.

Agree. I've had a smidge of Pneumonia, which also dampens the enthusiasm. Fortunately the kids all got Tablets for Christmas and couldn't give a flying ****.

Everyone seems to rave about it, but the part I watched before getting bored seemed a load of dated sentimental tosh.

Bang on. It's really not very good, yet there's some sort of conspiracy to keep saying how great it is, and vote it the best Christmas film of all time. Which, by the way, it isn't.

[Doggy Styles]

What a wonderful film. Never seen it before. Truly heartwarming stuff.
Now Im watching Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and have High Society on the hard drive for later.

They certainly don't make 'em like that any more.

I have to agree, even though I am a fan of Jimmy Stewart.

Filmhouse cinema, Edinburgh

Typically shown every other year at the filmhouse at Christmas. We went to see it two / three year ago, an experience made all the more magical when you share the auditorium with those all wanting to watch the same film.
