Home Alone: Britain's Favorite Christmas Movie
Whilst it's debatable whether it's really Britain's favorite Christmas Movie, it was a fascinating documentary on how this film came to be and was made. My favorite facts that were told were that it surprisingly beat it's competition, however the posters shown were for the Clint Eastwood Film, The Rookie and Mermaids, which to me weren't appealed to different audiences and that Warner Bros passed on this film when it went over budget, it cost $14 Million instead of $10 Million. Granted it was 1990 Dollars but Fox gleefully picked up the tab. Apparently Fox were quite happy with it's success.
Back To The 80's, 90'S AND 00'S
These were the countdowns that Channel 4 ran for viewers favorite shows for each decade basically it was a trip down memory lane especially for The NFL coverage in the 80's and The Big Breakfast, with Johnny & Denise, Football Italia and The Crystal Maze. It was for their homegrown shows but they did quick recaps for their American imports which I mainly watched. I think as time went on, Channel 4 tried to go with controversy,I believe that I would have like The Word because it featured the Live Music I liked but it would have driven me mad with the shock footage it included. Don't get me started with Eurotrash (Apologies if other posters liked it)
Home Improvement
Classic Tim Allen 90's Comedy where he is the accident prone and putting his foot in mouth in it host of a Cable Tool Show. It also follows his personal life with his wife and 3 Children. It's a very funny show where it's later Seasons does dive into some seriousness but is still enjoyable and boy do you see the Children grow from young Children into Teens. It is also very funny seeing him get out of situations where his sexism and blabbing about personal details get him into trouble but it's nothing malicious.
