Let’s petition for a Peter Hitchener/Livinia Nixon hosting gig in 2022.
Livinia & Eddie hosted in 2020 when NSW had Northern Beaches outbreak.
So many of the artists I love & look forward to each year. And they get better & better.
Some outfits were a little – out there!
I really thought Ch 9s Carols were much better than 7 (I could only watch about 10 minutes of 7!)
One thing that I’ve always wondered, it’s probably my age (nearly 60), why do we need Sydney hosts?
This is nothing personal against any of the hosts, past or present. I’ve just always wondered.
It’s based here, so, why can’t/don’t we have Melbourne based hosts?
Some bizarre outfits , poor singing & boring hosts .Long commercial breaks & i bailed out . 9 better than 7 which was atrocious. Such poor regard for Christmas by our tv . Rely on old UK Christmas shows. Repeats on the ABC are getting tedious when there is Iview .
I honestly think this years carols, both Seven and Nine were boring and somewhat bad in places. They always stick to the same script and honestly Allison and David are not funny and all the plugs too. I didn’t enjoy their hosting. They need to revamp them both.
Is it just me or did I find the Carols particularly awful this year? Some of the screeching from the performances was really bad? And Hamilton’s rendition? One of the worst Carols performances I think I’ve ever seen!
I’m in agreeance with you there BB ,i didn’t even last till the end this year ,I thought that overly long skit with Tim Campbell and that screechy woman was truly awful , Carole’s in the Domain wasn’t that great either.
Couldn’t disagree with you more re Hamilton, I thought it was the standout of the night. Different presentation, terrific voices, and the inclusion of the cast’s native languages. Really innovative.
Agreed on all counts. The entire event sorely needs a refresh.
