The Great Escape is a classic: Steve McQueen is daddy cool (in the cooler) and the film is a reminder as to how great us Brits are. Especially at PE.

Fight Club: awesome, won't say anymore lest it distract from your viewing pleasure.

Programmes.

On BBC2, on the 22nd.

What channel is Fight Club on? I want to see that

I don't watch any TV on Christmas Day... I like all the christmas shows on the days just before Christmas that get me in the mood.

I want to watch Fight Club, American Beauty and The Great Escape when they are on. All 3 are films I've never seen but really want to.

I love everything about Christmas besides haveing to get into that Santa sute for my kids.

I got a nice big chocolat one for myself.

I rarely watch TV but at Christmas I tend to just laze around and watch old films but I cannot abide the reruns of the Christmas specials.

Also (I know this is late) - my traditional Christmas dinner is cheese and tomato sandwiches - wonderful!!

The only thing I really like about TV at Christmas is Christmas specials of my favourite shows, and the selection of good films being premiered on TV. I feel sorry for the live presenters, working on Xmas. Generally though, I tend to either go off and play any new games I've got, or stick around with whatever the family is doing - if they're watching TV, I watch it. Until some poxy soap opera comes on, then I go back off and do something else.

When I was young I never really appreciated Christmas dinner as I wanted to go play with presents.

However, now I like it. The food isn't my favourite bad I love the atmosphere and stuff. I help my mum do the turkey and the triffle on Christmas Eve.

Homemade soup to start with... then we have turkey, small sausages, roast potatoes, crappy vegetable stuff etc

And desert and all with crackers in between and coffee and mints to finish.

We have out dinner around 7/8pm now and we have a small buffet around 4/5 which has sausage rolls etc.

Mmmm
