“Comedy. It’s all about… timing. So, the socially distanced switch-on of the town’s Christmas lights in Bridgwater, southwest England, last week is comic gold. Video shared on Twitter by BBC Radio Somerset on Friday showed the lights illuminating before local dignitaries had finished plunging the detonator. Check out the video here: The Christmas lights switch-on we all need in 2020 🤣 🤣 Timing is everything for @TownBridgwater, @Townmayor and @thetoptory 🎄 ✨ pic.twitter.com/CrvUzZmZXm— BBC Radio Somerset (@bbcsomerset) November 27, 2020 It’s rightfully spreading some festive cheer online: @haddy192 The comic timing of this from Bridgwater👌— Ben Marsh (@BenMarsh91) November 27, 2020 Errr… CUE!!!!— Simon McCoy (@BBCSimonMcCoy) November 27, 2020 Why have I watched this ten times???— Andrew Ellson (@andrewellson) November 27, 2020 Show it backwards when Xmas is over so it looks like they are switching them off. That’ll work.— Squishmitten (@SquishMitten) November 27, 2020 Premature Illumination— Emma (@nickschickuk) November 27, 2020 Meanwhile, elsewhere in town, a large chimney has just fallen down— Lisa (@LMuttl) November 28, 2020
