The Guardian‘s website has become overgrown with (and almost unusable because of) desperate and unseemly pleas for “user-generated content” and “interaction” but this caught my eye at 1.05pm:
Festive television: was it worth the effort?

Two hours, one comment. Which rather nicely sums up the state of the fare served up by our broadcasters over the festive period.
I should say at this point that the Christmas special of Extras was excellent.
The series was neither as good as The Office nor as good as it thought it was, but its undeniable quality shone out like a beacon from the cultural black hole that represented this festive (sic) season’s television fare.
