    Smart or reckless? If the BBC don't blink again, ITV may have to. BBC1's schedule currently suits BBC1. If it doesn't suit ITV then ITV need to do something about it.

    It doesn't suit BBC1 as much as the previous schedule. ITV forced EastEnders to 9pm and back into an hour. Miranda was better off away from Corrie. As it stands BBC1 is weaker on Christmas Day due to the scheduling.

    All ITV need do is swap Emmerdale and Paul O'Grady around. Stick EmDale at 5.50pm and Paul O Grady at 7. problem solved.

    Also, do you think BBC1 will play that all star music video they played back in October after Puss in Boots? This would fill 3 minutes and then just a couple of trails before the news and a couple of trails afterwards would put them back on track at five!

    It had occurred to me to post this earlier, but then I forgot. What do people think the chances are of BBC1 playing "God Only Knows" during every junction on Xmas Eve, Xmas Day and Boxing Day like they did with "Perfect Day" back in '97?

    Thanks for the neat summary, Score

    I'm reposting the whole post because we're on a new page. My feeling is that BBC1 have badly scheduled some of their potential big ratings winners and wasted some of the ITV weak slots by scheduling weak programmes against them.

    BBC One doesn't need to pussyfoot around ITV at Christmas. ITV isn't going to be taken off air just because BBC One gives it a comprehensive thrashing on Christmas Day and the slots didn't align. Even with aligning slots they will be a distant second place. BBC One has beaten them for most of this year, one more day isn't going to do them any harm. The BBC actually makes an effort at Christmas so should do what's best for them.

    Corrie will be ITV's highest rating show of the day but some way behind at least 2 or 3 of the BBC offerings. For all this talk of EE not performing well, Corrie has lost more viewers this year so I'd be more worried about that. And if you look at the top ten for last year EE's figure isn't even that bad comparatively speaking.

    We're never going to see massive figures again while Downton remains in the schedule. It may underperform but still rates higher than some of the stuff ITV used to put out on Christmas Day. I still wish they were retaining the provisional EE split if only as an experiment. I think it was ronant who pointed out that if you're a casual viewer who doesn't really watch it then you're more likely to sit through half an hour than you are a hour, so the second episode could have done really well.

    You are exactly right. It seems whatever BBC do some on here will complain.

    Strip Emmerdale and CS from ITV's Christmas schedule, then you don't have much left.

    Is Downton Abbey really on for 2 hours Christmas Day?

    And two hours more on a Boxing Day. ( Just in case you fall asleep)

    I have a guess it's it's last Christmas day outing.

    I think Miranda is too risqué to go out before 8.30 8 at a push.

    They show one from Christmas Crackers (30 mins) and Hero and Villains (50 mins) so none of them fit the 1 hour and 10 min slot.

    It will be either Sleepless in Peckham, Rodney Come home or Mother Nature's Son.

    They should have done something like that

    6:15 Eastenders
    6:45 call the midwives
    8:00 doctor who
    9:00 eastenders
    9:30 Miranda

    I am surprised Eastenders time shifts only around 700k now compared to a million for Corrie. Could it's timeshfit figures be decreased because of better quality of BBC I player compared to ITV player. Same in general for many BBC programmes.

    It's only a Best Bits compilation- essentially a repackaged repeat.

    Arthur Christmas on the big day is a strange one. It could have done more of a job for them on a Sunday evening in early December.

    i really want the BBC to stick to its guns this year. The soaps are a pain in the arse and is ruining Christmas telly because nothing can be on at decent times without accommodating soaps. And, frankly expecting the BBC to schedule around ITV's hours and hours of soap during the fortnight just to make it fairer for ITV is ridiculous.
    Agree with this. Can anybody tell me exactly what EastEnders has done in the last 12 months - if not three years - to merit being given the whole 9pm hour on BBC One's most important day of the year? Anyone??? No??? It seems bizarre that it's being given such a plum spot when it's done absolutely nothing to deserve it, even before you consider that they're sacrificing the penultimate episode of one of their most loved sitcoms in order to give it said plum spot.

    They don't seem to have pushed it very hard, which is surprising given quite how many stars gave over their time to take part. Perhaps they'll give it a few more airings in the next ten days, before the BBC Music Awards next Thursday.

    Andy Murray's Wimbledon victory? I don't remember anything if not that. For some context that 1.4m figure equates to roughly 30% of Ireland's population, so it's as relatively big over there as X Factor was over here in 2010.

    I watched a bit of the show this time and it's great fun, you can see why it has such a following.

    I can't believe all this fuss about Christmas schedules. You'd think it was 1970's!!

    Folks record what they want to watch and watch it when they want to watch it.
