Apart from Jackanory (Peter Pan), it’s a very thin day on BBC1 and BBC2. Even if I had access to everything, there’s little that’s catching my eye (maybe the Championship Darts on BBC2 might have appealed).
Thankfully there’s Coronation Street on ITV (with furore promised at the pigeon race).
That apart there’s only Chessgame with Terence Stamp to enjoy. It’s a slow-moving spy story (this one adapted by John Brason from the novel by Anthony Price). Good stuff if you’re in the right mood (like all the Network titles, the prices are slowly creeping up as the stock decreases, so if you fancy watching it then it’s probably best to pick it up sooner rather than later).

BBC were quite late with the holiday morning programmes, but actually it was my sister’s last day of term that day. Most schools had broken up the previous Friday but went back earlier and missed some of the programmes. (Forty-five years ago I didn’t bother watching the Buck Rogers serial because we went back to school on the 3rd of January so I would miss the last episode.) But that’s what happens when Christmas is at the weekend.
We college students go three weeks off at Christmas.
Two of the holiday morning programmes were vehicles fro Blue Peter presenters who’d left the show five years earlier. I caught some of the repeats of Carrie’s War, which I did see first time round nine years earlier, but missed the last one because of work.
The Waltons fizzled out towards the end.
