The Runaway Bride (no spoilers)

[Milky Tears]

They must be due to start showing teasers for The Runaway Bride soon!?

It was this time last year we first saw the Spinning Christmas Tree teaser, wasn't it?



Will it be before/after EastEnders or Robin Hood? Or will it be next week?

[Matthew T]

There's a 4 minute clip of The Runaway Bride on Youtube. Looks cool.

[Milky Tears]

Apart from that.

[Pip Madeley]

Just to make it clear, there will be no spoilers allowed in this thread whatsoever.

There's the other thread for that.

[Milky Tears]

I have no Spoilers.

[Pip Madeley]

Hehe.

Well, it's just the same rules as last Christmas - anything the BBC show on TV or their website etc isn't counted as a spoiler here.

I just saw the new 'One For Xmas' trailer after 'Strictly Come Dancing', and it featured quite a few clips from 'The Runaway Bride' - not as exciting as Louisa Lytton, though.

Evil Santas, the TARDIS crash-landing - it's all been done before.

[Pip Madeley]

It begins!

saw that same trailer just before Robin Hood, and the clips from Runaway Bride looked fantastic.

[Milky Tears]

The TARDIS looks too wide in that motorway shot. MY CHRISTMAS HAS BEEN DESTROYED!!




There's some good stuff in that trailer. Great music as well.

[Pip Madeley]

You forgot to put the in your post, James.

[Milky Tears]

Did I manage a full week without one?

[Pip Madeley]

A predictable post?

No, not quite mate.

[Milky Tears]

There are more clips in the longer version of the trailer - first shown after Strictly Come Dancing Results.

Great scheduling, everyone in our house has a nap around that time.

[Milky Tears]

BBC1 Scotland have finally repeated the 60 second trailer. I think that's only its second primetime appearance up here. It's much better than that shorter effort with the dodgy edit.

Shame they're now showing the The Green Green Grass, though.

[Dave Lewis]

Looks like another day watching a whole series of Friends on E4 for me.

Beelzebeeb song church fury
December 11, 2006

BBC bosses are ditching a Christmas TV trailer after church leaders complained its music was pro-SATANIC.

Auntie is using Christmas With The Devil a spoof track by mock rockers Spinal Tap in a 30-second clip focusing on villains and baddies in its festive dramas.

The tongue-in-cheek lyrics include: The elves are dressed in leather and the angels are in chains and Theres someone up the chimney hole and Satan is his name.

But Canon Peter Howell-Jones, of Birmingham Cathedral, said: Its in very bad taste. Ive enough to do without having to defend God from things like this. Retired Rev Betty Stephenson added: Its disgusting, diabolical.

She said the Devil also called Beelzebub always works quietly in the background and mentioning him demeaned the true meaning of Christmas.

The BBC said it chose the song in honour of baddies including the Sheriff of Nottingham and the Evil Santas in Doctor Who. A spokesman said: Its meant to be fun.

The song, released after 1984 rockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, will be ditched tomorrow, the BBC said. The film followed a fictitious band, fronted by Nigel Tufnel, on a disastrous US tour.

[Stuart Wallis]

It will be replaced by the even more satanic Ebenezer Wallis telling everyone what they can do with their christmases.

[Si Hunt]

“It’s in very bad taste. I’ve enough to do without having to defend God from things like this.”

This gave me the impression that God continually got on the vicars nerves for using up all his time. My day is busy enough without God keeping on getting in the way!

Si.
