The most popular gardening writers (those who are on TV) are now under the same pressure to produce a new book for Christmas every year as the best-selling cookery writers — whether or not they have anything fresh to say.

Last year Monty Don charmed all with Nigel: My Family and other Dogs. His latest offering, Down to Earth: Gardening Wisdom is this year’s best-selling gardening book.

From Monty Don’s best-selling guide to gardening principles to peeking into the plots of the rich and famous, there’s much to enjoy:

A fun and whimsical collection of short stories featuring each of the Doctors and set at Christmas time. Of course, some of the stories by the various artists are better than others, but there was only one that I felt was not up to the same quality as the others (the second Doctor story) and yet it was still enjoyable. A great, read for the holidays. Full review coming at www.travelingthevortex.com

This film is definitely the best modern Christmas movies that's been released. It still holds up after 15 years (and now I feel old). I re-watched this with my parents, who, had surprisingly, never seen it before? I loved that the costumes from the original stop-motion Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer were used. It'd definitely innocent, family fun that's still enjoyable to watch as an adult.

I was really excited to get this for Christmas Eve. I loved This Is Going To Hurt and couldn't wait to get my hands on this one. It is filled with much of the same anecdotes and a few that make you chuckle and some that are just heartbreaking. But in all, as much as I did enjoy it, I didn't enjoy it as much as the first.

Don't forget on Tuesday I will be showing the christmas film 'DIE HARD' at 'RETROIDS ARCADE BAR'.


Film starts at 7:30pm.

ENTRY IS £6 WHICH GETS YOU A FREE SOFT DRINK AND A GAME TOKEN.

Now I can't promise mulled wine a nice aged brie or a roaring fireplace but if come out the arcade, we'll get together, have a few laughs that's for sure.

Ho Ho Ho Motherfuckers!

Mediocre as Hallmark Christmas movies go. No real chemistry between the main couple nor urgency to the plot. I did enjoy the fact that there was just one couple (estranged) so no side villains to keep an eye on. It was definitely going for a Chip & Joanna "Fixer Upper" vibe with their main cast, who started their own company. Held my attention while working, but wasn't anything special.
