Once upon a time Christmas was a major event for the TV companies, mostly before the age of satellite that increased choice and spread the audience too far. There was the big Christmas family movie premiere, the comedy specials, and the soap disaster. These days we've mostly seen the movies on Sky or rented the DVD, there are no really big audience comdies like Only Fools, and we've all got rather bored with Eastenders characters having yet another miserable event.
I used to spend a lot of time tr4ying to work out how to squeeze the Christmas TV schedule onto one VCP. These days despite TV allowing me to record 3 things at once, I struggled to find even one thing worth the effort
