Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing, Ghosts, Motherland, QI and King Gary
The BBC has been slammed for a Christmas schedule that’s heavy on animated films, reruns and Mrs Brown’s Boys – criticism which seems a bit harsh given this has not exactly been the easiest of years to film stuff.
However, tonight there’s a great run of festive comedy programming, none of which the Corporation, in its wisdom, included in its previews list of weekly highlights circulated to journalists. No wonder it got a pasting in the press when thus line-up was left out!
Ease yourself into the night with Mortimer & Whitehouse: Gone Fishing (6.30pm, BBC Two), which is always as welcoming as a warm bath - even if the water the pair often end up waist-deep in is a little chillier.
