Re: Christmas Movies & TV Specials
In Sweden, Swedish Television company SVT (Swedish Equivalent of BBC) broadcasts an advent calendar.
Its normally a Christmas related series with 24 15 minute long episodes.

There is also a radio calendar (different story then the tv-series).
http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sveriges_R ... ulkalender
A number if years ago there was also a Norwegian "advent calendar" which was intended for
adults or people in the upper teens. It was called Nissene pĺ Lĺven (Tomtar pĺ lofet in Swedish / Santas on the loft*).
The title is an expression occasionally used to describe someone who is a bit weird or strange,
The series is best described as a faked (scripted with actors and actresses) reality tv-show
and intended as a parody and reality shows. Imo its very well done and very hilarious. Especially the ending.

*Loft generally refers to an storage level above ground level in a barn where they hay usually is kept....Funny how ev'rything was roses when we held on to the guns...

Channel 7 in Sydney will be showing "Jaws" on Christmas night. I must admit, I've never seen that. It sounds like good holiday fare as "The Great Escape" is.

Re: Christmas Movies & TV Specials
Anyone know any good kids programmes on UK TV over Christmas? My 2.5 year old likes a good TV programme
I've already set 'The Snowman' to record.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like we have a Julia Donaldson adaptation this year . We've still got The Gruffolo, Gruffalo's Child and Room on the Broom recorded and they get watched at least once a week! (Quickly buzzing through the trailer for the Jim'll Fix It remake which is rather disturbing).Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

I love that one as well. My favorite line "We were five Maurice Richards against five other Maurice Richards."
