Morning, all. Day 2 of college closed. I’m sat at home with the radio on, and thinking it might be a good idea to start and finish my Christmas shopping later today.
There’s loads on TV this Christmas. I’ve picked out one or two programmes which I will be watching/have watched so far.
If you’re not really in to TV, I’ll be doing the radio highlights tomorrow.
