talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it
I've said it before and I'll say it again - not having to be Prince Charming for nice little blonde girls has released something utterly fucking Unhinged in Nikita...
Normally I say "Humbug" to the Christmas season but the BBC has rolled out their holiday slate and it's making me feel (a bit more) festive.
We have the Christmas specials of GHOSTS,
DEATH IN PARADISE, BEYOND PARADISE, CALL THE MIDWIFE, BAD EDUCATION with Jack Whitehall returning.
Premieres of new and returning series with FATHER BROWN, HERE WE GO, NOT GOING OUT, THE FAMOUS FIVE and series two of VIGIL and Jamie Dornan's THE TOURIST all airing.
There are special events such as:
A DOCTOR WHO Christmas special which will serve as the first adventure for the Fifteenth Doctor Ncuti Gatwa
Ken! Ncuti tells us the things he can't live without.

An EASTENDERS Christmas special which was teased in its February flash-forward episode.
An Agathat Christie mystery: MURDER IS EASY starring David Jonsson (RYE LANE), Penelope Wilton, Mathew Baytnon, Morfydd Clark and Tim Riley.
the annual Mark Gatiss Christmas ghost story. This year's offering being Arthur Conan Doyle's LOT NO. 249 starring Kit Harington, Freddie Fox and Colin Ryan.
For musical enterainment there are many, including the dance theatre performance of PEAKY BLINDERS: THE REDEMPTION OF THOMAS SHELBY
and Jools Holland's annual Hootenanny which will feature Rod Stewart in his first Hootenanny appearance and a second mockumentary with the Kemp brothers Gary and Martin with THE KEMPS: STILL GOLD, also starring Dexter Fletcher.
since last year I have become what I never thought I would - a fan of Strictly Come Dancing - and I cannot stop watching this (or indeed most of Layton and Nikita's dances)
