This show had some balls, unlike todays programmes alll got to be politicaly correct.  I love this, just watch and have a laugh with it.

Watched this for the first time tonight, fucking hated it. They made Santa a "Little Englander": Skeptical of foreigners, a grumpy workshy gambler and boozer. Interesting to try something different, but poorly done. He's so annoying.

I'll stick with the wonderful "The Snowman" - fantastic stuff for Christmas time

There weren't enough black or asian snowmen...

just replace "bloomin" with "fuckin" every time he says it

I find it quite vulgar too. If they can't wait for December, they could at least have the good taste to give Hallowe'en the breathing room it deserves.

The last time I saw this film was on VHS tape back in the early 1990's. I still remember most of it though. Feels odd to think 20 years have passed since then.

i think they made a new version because the one i used to watch there were no bloomings :( and the socks tie and presents for him came from his elves . :) it was still amazing and i love both versions.
