Ho ho ho, bitches (again)

FESTIVE! Christmas Preview Part 2

Hopefully you've had time to digest all of the special festive telly we recommended yesterday, because we're going to jump right back into it:

Now it's December 28th (or it will be, quite soon) and the festive excitingness starts to die down a little, although it should be very interesting to see Marc Warren as Dracula (BBC1, 9.00pm) and those of you seeking something a little more stimulating (steady on, not in THAT WAY) might be interested in Is Benny Hill Still Funny? on Channel 4 at 9.00pm. We'd be inclined to say no, what with him being dead and all, but perhaps we're answering the wrong question there.

On December 29th we'll be stopping everything to watch The Lizzie McGuire Movie (BBC1, 10.15pm), work or no work, but if you like your films slightly more stimulating (and we do sort of mean in THAT WAY this time), you can watch Will Young in the skinny in Mrs Henderson Presents (BBC1, 9.00pm). Also getting us ridiculously excited will be the terrestrial premiere of High School Musical (BBC1, 5.55pm), which will hopefully mean that we can understand what everyone's been going on about all this time.

Those of who who've stuck with Robin Hood all the way through (well done!) will no doubt be on the edge of your seats for the last episode in the series (damn, it's much easier when you're writing about American shows and can just say "season finale", isn't it?) on December 30th. Also worthy of note is the second part of Little Britain Abroad (BBC1, 9.15pm), Harry Hill's Christmas TV Burp (ITV1, 7.30pm) and the frankly bizarre-sounding Viewer of the Year 2006 (ITV1, 9.00pm).

On New Year's Eve we can assume you'll all be flicking between New Year Live and Jools's Annual Hootenanny at the moment itself, but earlier on in the day you may find yourself enticed by The Big Finish with Graham Norton (BBC1, 9.00pm), or Frankie's big exit in Coronation Street (ITV1, 7.30pm). There's a terrestrial showing for the ace Fear of Fanny starring Julia Davis and Mark Gatiss (BBC2, 9.00pm) and Channel 4 will be counting down the celebrities that mattered in The 2006 Fame Review at 9.00pm. And if all the antici...pation is too much, ITV3 is showing The Rocky Horror Picture Show at 9.45pm.

And finally on New Year's Day there's...ooh, rather a lot. Matt Lucas, Bob Hoskins and Mark Gatiss star in The Wind in the Willows on BBC1 at 6.20pm, there's an excellent opportunity for some gravetop-dancing in EastEnders Revealed: Goodbye Pauline (BBC1, 8.30pm), the almost definitely last ever episode of The Vicar of Dibley (BBC1, 9.30pm) and another chance to relive the year in celebrity thanks to Five's Most Shocking Celebrity Moments 2006 at 9.00pm. And that's before we take into account the final two episodes of Torchwood starting at 9.30pm on BBC3. Excellent. Now how much longer till the new series of Doctor Who, eh?

And that is that, as Girls Aloud might say. We'll be back on January 2nd, so have a truly awesome festive period!

Don't forget 'Sarah-Jane Adventures' on New Years Day! Sure to be of interest to all lowcultarians.

About Us

According to Marxist theory, cultural forms such as opera, classical music and the literary works of Shakespeare all fall under the heading of high culture. Low culture refers to a wide variety of cultural themes that are characterised by their consumption by the masses. We might not be Marxists, but we do know we loved Footballers Wives. If you do too, you'll know what this is all about.
