Television: Christmas movies and millennial humbug

16 December 1999

Welcome to An Phoblacht's annual and highly selective trawl through some of the best and worst of this year's festive TV movie offerings. A quick word of warning. This reviewer harbours a blatant bias towards the Christmas celebrations at this time of year at the expense of all that pointless mularkey about the New Year, not to mention the so-called millennium. Readers are advised that the tone of the commentary may reflect this bias. Anyway, onwards! Free article
