1455 - ITV
You watch the first film yesterday, right? May as well watch the second one. Agreed, it doesn’t quite replicate the magic of the first film but you have to admire the way it wraps itself back around the first film with some effects that still look great despite the passage of time
1745 - BBC2
Here we have the BBC once again reaching back into the archives and pulling out a random old Christmas Special; Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em is a bit of an acquired taste, and will effectively come down to how much you can deal with Michael Crawford as Frank Spencer. You’ll still admire the stunt work in the show. For what was at first glance a standard BBC production there’s some nuts stuff being done
1900 - 5
Yes mate, here is what Christmas is truely about; big beefy lads lifting heavy things or carrying heavy things or throwing them. Get it on the season record and drink it all in
2100 - Film4
In the ranks of Masters of Dumb Cinema, one of the true greats is Roland Emmerich. This is, after all, the man who gave us White House Down.
