It probably is as it would have been filmed sometime before they went out of business in 2013.
Was 2012 when they went bust! And that was just before Christmas 2012.
ITV breaking an unwritten rule of presentation - ensure the transmission tape (or, if a live programme, the production team in the studio) are clean of any adverts, including sponsor slots, or channel presentation. Not only does that allow for regional variants, they can also avoid situations like this.
If a live show, ensure the transmission galleries, and not the studio production gallery, are the only people who have the ability to play out presentation material.
Every year without fail there are threads moaning about Xmas telly.
It's 2014, you've presumably got a broadband web connection, you've probably got DVD box sets, multi-channel TV which can be easily recorded from.
Read a book, play a board game. Fill your belly.
Prepare! I've made sure that I've got DVDs and stuff recorded/downloaded off the telly; lots of books.
It's not 1978 when 'everybody' was watching Morecambe & Wise' - because there wasn't much choice.
Xmas telly's always been a bit crap - miserable 'Eastenders' in 93 with the Irish bloke trying to commit suicide; Arthur Fowler having a breakdown a few Xmas' earlier (86).
There is certainly not many films on today as in Christmas day. I enjoyed Toy Story 3 yesterday and I am going try and find some films to watch during the rest of the week.

Puss in boots wasn't that great. It has to bethe weakest Christmas day movie on BBC 1 for years. I dont know why the BBC didnt show The Muppets today as it is a really good movie
Maybe I am looking back with rose coloured glasses but TV was definitely better at Christmas when I was a child with 4 channels, Did I hear on the radio 70% of BBC 's content this Christmas is repeats?
People are on the look out for a "social event", and TV is hardly doing that. Lot's of programmes of course, but do they shout "social event!"?. The soaps are not mainstream anymore, Dr Who isn't the draw it was.
Each year it's slightly worse. How do these people (in charge) keep their jobs?

There was a muppets film on some time (yesterday or today), not on the BBC but on one of the freeview channels.
Just checked, The Muppets Christmas Carol was on C4 yesterday. Does it matter that it wasn't the BBC?

I started to watch Britain's Bloodiest Dynasty about Richard II on catch up but I dozed off half way through (too full of turkey and gammon) and now I am out of time to watch it again

I think it's a new one.......if it's a repeat I'll be back in 2 minutes......

Totally agree with you.
I meant that the BBC could have shown the 2011 muppets movie on Christmas day but have decided to premiere it on Monday instead.
Boxing Day football is brilliant 3 premier league games back to back.
Starting with
Chelsea v West Ham on Sky Sports 1
Followed by
Man united v Newcastle &
Arsenal v QPR
on BT Sports 1
There is also Watford v Wolves on Sky at 5.15
Great line up for footy fans. There is also darts on Sky Sports as well
