Advantages: Old movies good

Disadvantages: New movies bad

As a republican, I am not going to sit here and pretend to have an adequate opinion on the Queen's Speech - I simply haven't seen it. It may be rivetting, Her Britannic Majesty might start pole dancing or juggling fire for all I know, but she's never been a feature of my Christmas TV viewing.

What I do know about Christmas is the fact that a lot of old movies get shown and that's a very good thing indeed. Often, the schedulers take the piss somewhat by putting absolutely classic movies on at 6am, but that's why videos were invented. The big throat-clearing flag-waving movies can only be valuable to be people who don't visit cinemas and never hire videos, but the oldies are very precious.

Perhaps because they know lots of people are off work, perhaps because movie-watching is traditional at Xmas - who cares, when you get your Christmas Radio Times (and here's a weird thing, why doesn't anyone buy the Christmas TV Times, I mean, I know people will b3e buying it really, but nobody ever mentions it, just the RT) scan the early mornings and late nights. There will be b/w classics galore.
