What’s on the BOX

I don’t know what you did to fill the big Line of Dutyshaped gap in your life last night, but I binged on a triple dose of feel-good telly with Countryfile, Antiques Roadshow and Call The Midwife. Or as The Dark Lord accidentally called it the other day, Line of Midwife.

We laughed when she said it, and decided that if there was ever a time for corrupt nuns, that time was now.

Mind you, Line of Duty giving us Buckells as H after the year we’ve all had was cruel beyond belief.

Sunday evening telly always reminds me of when I was little and the whole family sat around the box watching Songs of Praise and Antiques Roadshow. As the theme tunes played, it was the sound of the weekend coming to an end. Reader Alison

Fairweather, in Huntingdon, Cambs, has a favourite for curling up on the sofa.

She writes: “I watched The Holiday on many darks days over lockdown. I know it’s a Christmas movie but there’s something about it that just makes everything feel right with the world.”

An old black and white film that has my favourite line: “It doesn’t take much to see that the problems of three little people don’t amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world,” reminds Phil Williams in Cardiff of better times. He writes: “The world was a better place when everyone wore hats – like Bogey and Ingrid Bergman in their classic fedora panamas in Casablanca.”
