I've just had a quick look through and crikey, I wasn't massively impressed. I think I've circled more things on BBC2 than on any channel. Nothing was circled on ITV, only the Italian Job got a circle for Channel 4 and BBC1 is sparse.  |

North of The Wall - youll need your vest |
I read an article the other day saying that something like 68% of progs on over christmas are repeats, and most of the 32% new progs are just stuff like the soaps.
Whatever happened to all the 'must see' viewing over Christmas eh? |

Dr Who Christmas special will be our highlight over Christmas. With Netflix and Sky box office,Amazon and dirt cheap dvds we have all seen the films they air over Christmas. I'm going to look out for any decent Christmas specials and read for the rest of the duration |

A lot of the schedules have become fossilised.
BBC1 Christmas evening for the last 8 years or so has been:
Something for the kids,
News update,
Dr Who,
Strictly,
Call the Midwife, or something equivalent to steady undemanding feel good viewing,
Christmas special of a comedy series, but overlong at a hour.
BBC2
Dad's Army, Blackadder, Morecambe and Wise/Two Ronnies

You should send the Beeb and ITV some good ideas |

Well, mine would go like this:
BBC1
2PM HM the Queen, mostly as the signal that people can now nod off on the sofa.
2.15 - a big film, bought in special, expense be damned. Not something 3 years old that everyone has seen. If not the 3rd episode of the Hobbit, then the Penguins of Madagascar. Something that everyone can enjoy all together for a change.
16.30 News and weather
17.00 SOMETHING LIGHT FOR TEA. Ie, Professor Brainstawm or The Gruffalo.
18.00 Still Open All Hours. (in my world Christmas specials are ALWAYS 45 minutes long)
18.45 Dr Who
20.00 an all star Christmas one off special comedy drama.
21.30 Live at the Apollo
22.30 A shit scary ghost story for Christmas, with high production values, possibly based on the short story Blackham's Wimpy.
23.30 Late night film - The Eagle has Landed.
I doubt it'll catch on  |

The new one doesn't exist in my world. Same as other versions of Get Carter and the Wicker Man.  |
