I love so much that Victoria Wood did but is it just me that can't bloody stand the Barry and Freda song?

Just heard the Frog Chorus on the radio. Disgusting.

Enjoying Amadeus on Sky Atlantic, nicely directed by Julian Farino who back in the 80's used to stand about with a clipboard next to Roy Castle on Record Breakers.

Having Wensleydale and half a Cadbury selection box for breakfast.

Football bantz lads waffling about xG like it's a thing though.

Eleven straight wins isn't good fortune.

I hope my new army of largely American, largely female bot followers who never say anything are enjoying my Aston Villa posts.

Absolutely hopeless for an hour, then absolutely class for the rest of the game. As Greavsie constantly reminded us: #avfc

Utterly undeserved but I'll take it #avfc

This Happy Mondays remix on Radio 2 right now is absolutely dreadful.

Popped to the graveyard in Knowle today to say Merry Chrismas to my Dad and also saw this rather lovely postbox cover.

Lovely seeing Floella Benjamin and Derek Griffiths on the telly over the last week.

Me at the end of any song by Scouting For Girls

I hope the M&S food reference in Amandaland by Jennifer Saunders was a niche joke due to Dawn French doing their adverts.

The Peep Show Bake Off was good fun #GBBO

What a player #rip

Some nice clips of Anne and Edward there. No sign of the other sibling though for some reason 🤔 #theking

I finally have a Christmas jumper #merrychristmas

Rarely heard Wombling Merry Christmas on the radio just now and it is every bit as good as Slade or Wizzard.

Terry Jones and cheese gratefully received. Thanks Santa.

Oh good, the On the Beach family are back.

Fuck it, I'm watching the raffle episode as well #fatherted #ghosttown

Merry Christmas everyone, hope you all have a splendid day

The cows are far away gag is obviously great but there's at least ten other things in this episode that are just as funny.

Guide for all those going through a family dinner tomorrow

Wall to wall Father Ted is a great way to spend late Christmas Eve. I was going to go to bed ages ago but the next one on is the holiday caravan episode so I've got another glass of wine instead.

Rosie's curled up on my lap hoping Santa will bring her lots of Dreamies tomorrow.

Santa is currently in Norway. Not long now.

My kids aren't very young now so there's no bonus 'glass of whisky for Santa' being put out tonight, but I also didn't have to go and see the Minecraft movie so swings and roundabouts.

Of course The Passion of Dt Tibulus would become wildly popular if Ted and Dougal are protesting about it in the only place it's being shown and Len Brennan is an arsehole to blame them when the protest and subsequent publicity was his idea.

Nice writers in joke in Ever Decreasing Circles there with the estate agent called 'Marshall and Renwick'.

In-laws are here now so the History Channel is on at volume setting 65.

And now just watched Sexy Beast for the first time. I know, I may need to get my movie priorities sorted.

Is there a Sladeageddon as well? Because I genuinely don't think I've heard Merry Xmas Everybody all month.

Just watched The Rock for about the four thousandth time

Wrapped seven presents and I haven't sworn ONCE!

Doubling up as Eric and Ernie

The Sea Wolves is on ITV4, always a memorable one for me as after seeing it aged 8 with my Dad at the cinema on the army base in Fallingbostel we then skidded on black ice on the way home and wrote off our Chrysler Sunbeam.

That Wade v Evans match was an absolute belter #WorldDarts

PLEASE STOP DOING THOSE PADDINGTON DEATH THINGS

Just watched five minutes of the Ronnie and Brucie special.

Just did a proper big laugh at one of Mick Miller's jokes on the Royal Variety Performance.

Me and the OH then got home about half seven and there's a load of newly wrapped presents under the tree to us from the kids. I mean, I've got two and she's got about eight but it's rather lovely.

A pub where I know the landlord, several pints of very good Guinness, a lovely roast beef dinner and a Villa win on the telly has all made for a very good Sunday.

Morgan Rogers. Blimey. #avfc

John Le Mesurier's narration is obviously lovely for the Bod bits, but so is Maggie Henderson's during the other sections - soothing yet sort of educational.

Just caught up with Bod, and it was all lovely. Me and the OH mused on the fact that at the age of three, we were probably utterly transfixed by it. Loved Derek Griffiths doing his wibbly-wobbly song as well.

Hearing about this upcoming Corrie/Emmerdale crossover reminded me that there has already been an Emmerdale/Brookside crossover following the Emmerdale plane crash
