I thought it might be fun to do our own version of Goggle box over the Christmas period, so post a list of what you have been watching the last couple of days and a comment about it.
I have watched:
Trading Places (All 4) - A movie set at Christmas time, but not a typical "Christmas movie". Great fun if you're not bothered about the occasional non-PC comment and girls being top-less (Different times!) Some great comic acting, plus the message that environment can greatly influence how people behave.
Christmas Come Dine with me from 2014 (All 4) - This was a celebrity episode with 4 participants; Shaun Ryder, the girl who played Rosie Webster in coronation street, and 2 other people I'd never heard of. It was a nice cosy show with a chrismassy feel, and the participants were really nice to each other (unlike the usual acerbic comments in the every day come dine with me!)
Star Wars episode IV A new hope (ITV X) - OMG, Mark Hamill & Carrie Fisher look so young! This of course was Harrison Ford's first movie star role, and he really deserved the break - what a great actor! And kudos to the poor actors who had to walk around for hours in hot costumes playing Darth Vader, Chewbacca, and the droids.
