Independent Film Review – Holiday Twist
—
Ah, Christmas films! I have a definite soft spot for them. As we’re just seeing off Halloween there’s nothing much to get excited about before the season of greetings, giddy glee, and gemütlichkeit gets under way. As a result it’ll do no harm to start getting in the festive spirit. Maybe I don’t need to…

Christmas Movie Review – A Christmas Carol (2020)
It’s no secret that I love the Dickens classic A Christmas Carol. I know it is the same story, pretty much, every time but, I think, that just shows what a great story it is. It’s also no real surprise that I am a bit of a completist and, to that end, I would love…

RunPee Christmas Hub
—
Jilly’s original Christmas Hub has served us well over the years but I thought that it may be time for a little reorganisation. Basically, all the good stuff is still here, and will still be added to, but I think it is just a bit easier to find. Enough of my ramblings! Enjoy over a…

Christmas TV Special – A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong

—
Stephen Merchant and Ricky Gervais may not be particularly well known names across the Atlantic but one of their creations, The Office, has been shown around the world and adapted into various local versions. Their follow up was absolutely delicious, full of high profile star cameos, and also managed to be exceptionally bittersweet; you don’t…

Christmas TV Special – The Office: Christmas Special
They’re funny things time zones. I often have to stop chatting with the American branch of the RunPee branch of the family because it is past my bedtime despite it only being around noon with them. Maybe that is why the UK version of The Office came in at a total running time of seven…

Christmas TV Special – Hannah Waddingham: Home For Christmas
Oh dear…I suppose when you have a TV series that does as well as Ted Lasso did then you are bound to want to try and spread it a bit further while you can. I’m not a football fan but I quite enjoyed the goings on at AFC Richmond…well, the first couple of seasons, anyway.…
