Merry Christmas & Happy New Year To All The Geektowners

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, which means things are going to be slowing down on the site for the festive period. We will still be updating the UK TV Air Date page as things come in, but the regular posts will be less frequent until the new year. You can also see all the Christmas specials on our Christmas TV 2021 list.

In what has been another rather strange year as we deal with the outside world, I wanted to take this opportunity to say a massive THANK YOU to all the visitors to the site this year, and people that contact us and retweet/repost on social media. You help make Geektown a fun and happy place to be all year round, and for that, I’m eternally grateful!

2021 has been another strange and sometimes difficult year, personally and financially, for many people. Thankfully, we did manage to get some semblance of normality back, not only with the in-person return of a number of Comic-Cons, but I personally also managed to get a trip away to meet up with some friends I hadn’t managed to see in the flesh for two years. I know others were not that lucky. This time of year can be difficult for many at the best of times, and the pandemic has taken its toll on mental health around the world. If you are struggling, please remember, you are not alone. There are people you can talk to such as The Samaritans, Off The Record, and MIND, so please reach out to someone if you are having a difficult time, they are there to help and listen.

As some of you may or may not know, Geektown is not a big corporate entity. It is run by me, alongside a few dedicated geeks, who help bring you the latest news, air date info, and the Geektown Radio podcast, so I just wanted to give a big thank you to all the people working with me to make that possible. They include:

  • Matt from Entertainment Talk, who also makes a whole host of brilliant podcasts, some of which I co-host, and is producing a wide range of great content! It has been a pleasure to work with you, and I look forward to doing more next year.
  • Bex from TristaBytes – If you’re looking for some chat and entertainment over Christmas, check out her awesome and hilarious Twitch stream and YouTube channel. Over the holidays, and throughout the year, she has been raising a HUGE stack of money for charity via her Twitch feed, so please go and give her some support this Christmas.
  • And Geektown Radio podcast co-hosts Darryl and Gray (who is unfortunately currently isolated with the virus!). It’s a pleasure doing the shows with you and chatting about tv and film.

I also wanted to say thank you to all the people that supply us with great interviews and opportunities throughout the year. A special thanks to the lovely press teams at Sky, BBC, ITV, WarnerMedia, Disney, UKTV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Netflix, Roku, and Amazon, along with various Comic-Cons. It was so wonderful to return to both the Wales Comic-Con and MCM Comic-Cons over the last few months and meet up with actual people again.

Additionally, a huge thank you to all the PR agencies that provide me with the chance to chat with actors and stars of tv and film, and a special thanks to all the PR companies who bring us lots of interesting behind the scenes people to chat with, such as composers, production designers, cinematographer, costume designers, stunt people and makeup artists. It’s always a pleasure to hear stories about how these shows and films are created, and I look forward to talking with many more next year.

Don’t forget, The Geektown Awards will be open until 31st December, so there’s still lots of time to enter and win either the HUGE main prize or the runner-up prize! So GO AND VOTE!

Finally, I wanted to wish all the Geektowners a truly wonderful Christmas and a great 2022!

Best Wishes,
Dave

I will now hand you over to Chewbacca for a lovely rendition of Silent Night…
