Screen Babble Episode 58: Waterloo Road, Cheers and our Christmas viewing habits

We're back for the first show of 2024.  We've been watching lots of random TV over Christmas from traditional classic films to modern Christmas wannabes - to mixed reception.  Steven tells us about “Ghosts” which has just finished, Kelly watched “Fiddler on the Roof“ amongst other things and Benji brings us up to speed on the controversial “Saltburn.”

On the 'deep dive' Steven has been watching the new series of “Waterloo Road” which, whilst not his usual cup of tea, he is enjoying very much.

Benjii takes us 'back to the future' with a review of “Cheers,” one of the original big hitters of sitcoms, spawner of spin-offs and achiever of one of the biggest TV viewing audiences ever in the US.

A Happy New Year to all our listeners!
