Absolutely love the first one, but the second one is a worthy sequel. We don't watch any TV at all over Christmas and Boxing Day, but we'll start to catch up a bit over the next few evenings. Haven't even watched Gavin & Stacey or the Bake Off special yet, and all the University Challenges are waiting too.

We have a TV licence here in Ireland, but can't decide whether to sign up for an (expensive) Sky package, or the Irish version of Freeview, or buy a 2nd hand British satellite box so we can watch the Beeb... hence we've had a TV-free couple of months. We've really not missed it. Got lots of DVDs, including some lovely Geoff Hamilton ones (Paradise Garden etc) which I hadn't watched for years, so it's been a bit of a treat.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
W we’ve got rid of our Sky, £50.00 for a basic package, we can get all of that on a free view tv. i bought A Manhattan recorder box can get everything that was on our sky package except U.K. gold and sky arts, which is the only one I miss but most of that’s on you tube. I can record the programmes, FF ads, get all the catch up programmes, Sky is just stupidly priced, they offer you a bargain price, doesn’t even last for a year.
Ok if you want the box office films, but if you wait a bit they’ll be in NetFix for a fraction of the price.

No terrestrial TV signal, no satellite dish (no radio, either). Just watch it all (and listen) on the internet. Channel 5 is the only one of the main channels that isn't broadcast live on line but I've never seen a programme on its schedule that I felt I needed to watch.
@Hostafan1 Paddington and Paddington 2 are both lovely films - 'Family Films' in the sense that they are suitable (and enjoyable) for children but are not infantile, so great for adults, too. Especially adults with a childish sense of humour, of course

"Star studded " cast and seems like good fun.
