Bought the Christmas Radio and TV Times today and began mentally planning my festive viewing.

Spent the whole of tonight's last ECDL class before Christmas reading up on Concepts of Information Technology in the course book. The woman who likes to collar me for a one-sided chat at coffee break did so tonight, laying the story of how her firm is preparing itself, and her and her colleagues, for mass redundancies on me. Won't be ready to do the exam until we go back in January, but I couldn't have afforded the fee now anyway.

Anything good on? Their website only goes up to Christmas Eve and I can't buy the mag here. I'm already mentally preparing myself to take a laptop away from the family room in the evening to avoid the soap marathon.

Boxing Day (or St Stephen's Day as I must now refer to it) is usually the worst day, when doubtless I will end up watching repeats of Murder, She Wrote and Brainiacs in an attempt to dilute my mother's company.

On Christmas Day there's an episode of Michael Palin's Around The World In 80 Days on BBC2 in the morning and Wallace & Gromit's Grand Day Out at lunchtime. The afternoon films are Finding Nemo and Shrek 2. Dr Who - with Kylie Minogue *mwah* is a must-see at 6.50, then when that ends at 8 hop over to ITV1 for Harry Hill's Christmas TV Burp, then when that ends at 8.30 Best of Dragons' Den starts on BBC2. Catherine Tate's at 10.30 then Speed rounds off the night.

No Brainiacs on Boxing Day, alas, but more from Michael Palin on Boxing Day morning. For late morning the film SPYkids looks your best bet then things go a bit lean for a few hours unless Geraldine McEwan as Miss Marple floats your boat. Choose between Herbie Fully Loaded or Moonraker for your afternoon film. Your early evening choice is Monsters, Inc vs Garfield, and in the late evening it's Ballet Shoes vs The Old Curiosity Shop - unless you opt for an episode of Lead Balloon on BBC2 at 9.30 - then salvation arrives in the shape of Match of the Day at 10.20. Or there's More4 which has The Englishman Who Went Up A Hill But Came Down A Mountain at 7pm then The Big Lebowski at 10. Or you could spend all Boxing Day daytime on ITV3, which has a Two Ronnies marathon, or Dave, which serves up the usual fare of Whose Line Is It Anyway?s, Top Gears and TOTP2s...
