Bad Tidings viewers have raged 'what on Earth were they thinking?!' about Strictly champ Chris McCausland and Lee Mack’s new Christmas film. The movie was released on Sky Max and streaming service NOW on Sunday 22 December. Bad Tidings stars Chris, 47, Lee, 56, Sarah Alexander and Rebekah Staton.

It follows the story of two clashing neighours, Scott (Chris) and Neil (Lee), who end up joining forces to try and save their street from crime on Christmas Eve. Scott rubs Neil up the wrong way with his living habits, and it is made worse when Scott is given role of head of the Neighbourhood Watch.

When the street's electricity blows up, they have to change their plans for Christmas, but the dodgy Brennan family have an idea to try and steal all their presents. Bad Tidings viewers have all said the same thing about the new Sky movie. Chris and Lee play Scott and Neil in the blockbuster.

The movie premiered on Sunday 22 of December. Will Neil and Scott be able to stop them?. Many have complained about the flick on X - and they definitely didn't mince their words. One said: 'There must be a competition for worst Christmas movie ever, that Sky Max have won forever with Bad Tidings - what on Earth were Lee Mack and Chris McCausland thinking?'.

Another brutally added: '#BadTidings watched 25 minutes now, not laughed once, actually quite awkward to watch.'. A third tweeted: 'Been looking forward to Bad Tidings for a while. What a let down. Boring and predictable script, shockingly bad acting. Old and tired jokes. Even Lee Mack couldn't save it. And that's saying something. I dread to think how much Sky paid for this. Shocking.'.
