There’s a game of either or based on what they did in the seventies at Christmas. TV Times or Radio Times - back then BBC weren’t in the TV Times and ITV weren’t in the Radio Times. Morecambe & Wise was Christmas Day and The Two Ronnies was on Boxing Day by the way. Chris was born on Christmas Eve. For a change H reads A Child’s Christmas In Wales by Dylan Thomas.

Very interesting financial fact about this Star Trek film, in that it was the highest earning box office for a film in the franchise open till in 2009!
