    &quot;History? There were only 42 people at the gig.&quot;</p>

    It's on C5 on Christmas Eve afternoon - the Alistair Sim version - I'll be watching that before going out, and later there's the Patrick Stewart version on C4.

    Not quite up to last year when I think there were 4 different versions on.

    Scrooged (Bill Murray) is on Sky movies tonight as well - that's got to be the worst version.

    Definitely has to be.....

    ... the Alistair Sim version, despite one or two now cringeworthy moments, due to the passage of time.</p>

    I think the C5 versionis the coloured in print, which I bought on video about 15 years ago. Still watch it EVERY Christmas, usually about now, to get me in the mood.</p>

    "Coloured-in" version. That just seems wrong.

    Probably created for people like my mum, who, after we'd got our first colour telly, used to complain about black and white films on because "we don't pay a colour tv licence to watch things in black and white!"

    We've got the

    Alistair Simm's version on video (black & white) and DVD (colourised), I love watching it/them. It epitomises Christmas for me.

    Don't knock it

    ... until you have seen it.</p>

    It's been very cleverly and gently done.</p>
