We came back home with lots of things recorded, video'd, taped, we haven't worked out the verb for the current branded process!

Homeland. Absolutely love it.

We've still got Brian Cox's the Human Universe. I feel his answers just pose even further questions about so many things, then I wonder why Science is not seen as more creative?

And I've seen the Guardian slogan tee shirt "The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it" - quoting American astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Citizen Khan. Love that too, I know many Citizen Ks. Adil Ray went to the same primary school as me, a couple of decades later!

Then we also got into The Missing, totally captivating. The Fall too. The plots are pretty testing & taxing too.

So, umpteen hours of tense TV...with Christmas Specials, films, regulars, repeats looming.

How many channels are there now? Chances to record, catch-up, boxed sets, streaming off the Internet etc.

What have you got stacked up to watch...looking forward to anything over the festive period?
