Well I have just watched 'A Very Yorkshire Christmas'. I'm not sure why the title has changed here to 'British'.

Sadly it's one of those silly, predictable films, you know as soon as there's a young woman and a single bloke that something will happen, throw in a toothless 'cute' (to some) daughter, plus a failing business............

Although filmed in Yorkshire, it was obviously an American film, with a dire and schmaltzy American script. It's a wonder they weren't all saying 'happy holidays'. They even sing a traditional American carol, one hardly heard here.

It's odd that the 'opera singer' is en-route to Vienna but ends up in Yorkshire! How she keeps her hair and (lots of) make-up intact is beyond me. As well her extensive wardrobe (my friends counted four coats and several pairs of boots).

Anyway, the lead male is dreadful. Goodness know why he was cast - he has no charisma, no personality and sounds like David Beckham. Is he even an actor? He delivers the already poor lines with a monotone pitch, no emotion, nothing. The daughter is Kate (aaargh). It must have been explained but I wonder how the mum, son and grandchild ended up in Yorkshire; mum has a slight Yorkshire/northern accent (the wonderful Michelle Dotrice), son has a cockney accent, the child, Kate can't make up her mind which accent she should be using.

SPOILER NB it usually snows in Yorkshire - I don't know why there constant remarks about it - the CGI snow wouldn't have been needed had they filmed in winter!
