I know, it's still August (just) but Christmas is less than 4 months away :D.

Anyone know any programmes that have been comfirmed for Christmas 2010?

    I believe ITV plan to show "Quantum of Solace".

    It'll be the first Bond premiered on Christmas Day in over a decade!

    It'll be crap.

    Why

    Because despite flawed memories claiming the opposite it always is.

    A lazy,lazy time for schedulers.

    TV schedulers've become lazy full stop. Giove me the money I'm on and I'd be happy to enter the archives.
    Here's my idea for a one off christmas drama
    Another modern take on A Christmas Carol but Scrooge is a backstabbing bureuatwat* who works at the dole/benefits office, has no friends at aLL (not even a DS ACCOUNT), leads such a very sad little life and has such an inadeaqucy complex that he only cares about the rules and stops people's benefits/dole over some very tiny rule and stabbed his mate, Marley in the back to get a promotion. So he hidses behind his job, postion, desk, securtity staff and the rules and gets a kick out of 'only doing his job' and 'its the rules'. Result after the three ghosts of christmas, he gets a life, loosens up and is far more sympathetic.

    *a desk based official, usually council, government or benefits official who is so obsessesed with sticking to the rules and 'only doing their job' that they lead such sad little lives, have inadeaqucy and inferiority complexes that they turn into sad ***** with no friends and lives and hiding behind the rules and their positions makes them feel big.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there is a new Poirot feature length episode on.

    The only thing I'm really bothered about is Doctor Who. Not really fussed about what else they show.

    If Quantum of Solace is shown this year then it won't be on Christmas Day, I reckon in December after The X Factor quarter or semi final and on a Sunday after the results show.

    Filmwise, I think it will be Cars, Shrek the Third, Bee Movie, Enchanted, The Golden Compass and Fred Claus for the Christmas period as the big movies of 2007/8 will have premiered already.

    I'm predicting the BBC will network premiere Cars as it's Xmas day movie as it appears to have some sort of deal with Pixar.There will certainly be another big premiere from the BBC,possibly I Am Legend or Iron Man.
    Another Royle Family is a shoo in from what I've read,but I hope the BBC commision a christmas episode of Rev. and show it in decent timeslot.It was a good show and would benefit from some hype - could even become a big thing for the BBC if they let it.

    ITV use up all their "big" stuff by early December.

    Not sure if they'll show this Christmas but the BBC have the rights to Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and I think on Christmas Eve or Boxing Day would do really well. I Am Legend will likely appear on ITV1 or Five as they have deals with Warner Bros while Iron Man will likely appear on Channel 4 due to their output deal with Paramount.

    I reckon it'll be a Cars/Shrek the Third doubleheader on Christmas Day with Enchanted on Christmas Eve.

    BBC primetime will probably be: Doctor Who, Strictly Come Dancing, EastEnders (60 minutes) and I'm going to take a bet on a Jonathan Creek special.

    ITV primetime will probably be: Emmerdale (60 minutes), Coronation Street (60 minutes), Celebrity Cube (or another quiz show of that ilk to be smashed by EastEnders) and Poirot/Marple.

    I wish there would be some originality in the Christmas Day schedules but there rarely is.

    I think Indiana Jones will get the Boxing Day slot, like Pirates of the Carribbean did last year.

    I think the commercial channels will try and get their film premieres out before Christmas Eve. I expect Wednesday 22nd will be used by ITV for a film as it has no soap commitment that night, and is useful filler.

    Dunno really :confused:

    I think last year would/will take some beating though ....... :)

    I think there should be a Waterloo Road Xmas Special (feature length) ... anyone agree

    It would be the perfect time to split the series - finish it just before the Christmas break then bring it back in January.
