The Christmas TV Strategy Guide 2020
Day two! Fingers crossed you’ve got your shopping does as things are getting a little tight even with Amazon Prime
1255 - Film Four
I know, I was worried when I saw the trailer for this film but, you know what, its actually really good. The design is a spot on 3D interpretation of the classic artwork and then the tone and the story is spot on as well. Very well done indeed
1315 - Talking Pictures TVTV
You want some classic British comedy from the last 40s? This is probably one of the best of the Ealing Studio films although The Ladykillers does run it pretty close
1430 - Channel 4
Here's your daily dose of pure Christmas schmaltz. Honestly, doesn't get much more schmaltzier than this
2100 - Paramount Network
Here's your daily dose of Anti-Christmas fun, here we have Chuck Norris roundhouse kicking bad guys whilst wearing jeans and cowboy boots. I mean, maybe. Been a long time since I've seen it so he might be wearing combat fatigues.
2130 - BBC4
This was a great mocumentary sitcom that kind of gets lost in the shuffle these days, worth going back to following the death of John Sessions earlier in the year
0205 - Film Four
Still feeling too Christmassy? Then get this in your eye balls, probably doesn't have the raw terror of the first Evil Dead film but it's not like Sam Raimi forgot how to make a scary film in the intervening years
