Scrooge was ok, can’t think of any others I like. Don’t watch many films, especially Christmas schmaltzy ones.
Programme about MR James on BBC 4 now. Just got to the bit about Lost Hearts and had to turn it off. Still scares me to death, that one….
After just accidentally buying a cr@p film on Amazon Prime while I was merrily clicking away trying to switch it off
I went back to my favourite ‘Go Too’ Christmas Film to cheer myself up…this really is one of the best Christmas Films/Rom/Com all in one and if you loved Khalisi in Game Of Thrones then it’s a no brainer, personally Jon Snow was more my type and I don’t mean the newsreader. 
Emma Thompson almost steals it as the mum, it just makes you laugh and cry at the same time…Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...Yes, I want to see that. I’m glad she’s made a good Christmas film. She didn’t deserve what they did to her character in GOT’s. I still feel let down by it.
You’re right moe, it was a crap ending to a great series (GOT)
I also remember the one you mentioned, lost Hearts, I can’t remember
how old I was at the time, but those kids in shrouds coming back for
revenge was terrifyingI used to rewatch every series of GOT’s several times and was going to rewatch the series in its entirety after season 8 but haven’t even watched that season again. Currently watching Britannia and enjoying it but nothing will ever beat GOT’s at it’s best. I’m fine with sad endings. I mean, Tess of the d’Urbevilles is one of my favourite books, but GOT’s was just plain wrong. My daughter introduced me to it when there had been several seasons already and she said there’s one character that you’ll be gunning for, and I did.
I wish they would remake the last two seasons of Game Of Thrones … we all know what we wanted to happen without giving, anything away…I even went to Northern Ireland walked the Dark Hedges road and visited the location of the ‘Iron Islands’ it was beautiful.
I think Belfast Tourism must be suffering now because of the waining interest and it truly is a lovely City to visit, been there 4 times now.
Things turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...I used to tell everyone to watch it. Because I watched it on dvd I was always a year behind everyone else so I was forewarned about season 8 and was almost tempted not to watch it. I used to watch every series, then watch it with the commentary that would explain the costumes, locations, lighting etc, then watch it again. Sometimes, just as I thought a series wasn’t as good, something would happen that would just blow me away. Even half way through Season 8 I was still ok with it. It’s like unfinished business to me. A lot of people were a bit snobbish about it and wouldn’t watch it on principle but I’d say that I don’t watch or read rubbish and GOT’s was the best thing I’d ever seen. Most good series do tend to have disappointing endings but not as bad as GOT’s. I am loving Britannia, though.
I’d read the GOT books, which were brilliant, but couldn’t see how they would produce it for TV or have the nerve for the savagery. Up to season 8, when everyone started acting out of character, it was really good. I was an extra, one of the Golden Company, on-screen for a fraction of a second until a dragon fried us.
A great Christmas movie is ‘The Man who came to dinner;’ Bette Davis, Jimmy Durante, Monty Woolley, real Algonquin Round Table stuff
“There’s a Dickens ghost story on BBC4 now….”
The Signalman: good ‘n’ eerie it is too, hope you’re out from behind the sofa Moehat
The beeb have been showing all the Lawrence Clark-produced 1970s ‘Ghost Stories’ over the last few Mondays and next week is the last in his series: Stigma, which isn’t a patch on the others, but still cooling if not chilling
