I think that's more of a case of Digital Spy just catching up with the press release.

Good figures for IAC last night, it's holding up despite it's problems this time around.

"A Night of Heroes" - I'm sure it will be a nice show, but what a corny title.

Presumably based on the Monday, I can assume no 'proper' News at Ten throughout the Xmas period?

(there will be one or two bulletins at 10 I'm guessing, but none under the NaT branding)

It's better than its other title The Millies, I'm sure it's going to be a nice show too but I hope The Sun are only involved in just sponsorship because I can't bear when they use the phrase 'Our Boys' when it comes to talking about the Armed Forces.

I know what you mean and it is better than 'The Millies'.

I think The Sun actually run the awards, like the Daily Mirror and the Pride of Britain.

'The Nolans: In the Mood for Dancing'
Wednesday, 23 December 2009, 8:00PM - 9:00PM - ITV1

Looking at DS' Soaps Section, The Bill is taking the 9pm slot on both Tuesdays. The Bill to move to Tuesday's, anyone?

Presented by Philip Schofield & Amanda Holden.

ITV must get more value out of Philip Schofield than any of their stars.

I think someone asked me on Sunday what Starts On The Street was, well it's a look at the famous faces who have graced Coronation Street. (1hr prog)

Not sure if its also been noted :

WWTBAM Xmas Special sees Sir Terry Wogan and Chris Evans team up.

Oh, what a smug twosome they are.

When can we expect the confirmed Xmas schedules?

Taggart 100th episode 21:00 Christmas Eve. (A Christmas present for STV )

Not very inspired.

Erm, right now?

Marple : They Do It With Mirrors - New Years Day 21:00

I think that's been on before

Ive def seen it- it has Joan Collins in it. Maybe it was in the States that i watched it, I'm there most weeks with work. But it was in the last few months that i saw this.

Yep, in the US not here.

Yeah, it's been shown in a few places already.

That has put BBC in a massive corner. We've got:

19:00 - Emmerdale
19:30 - Coronation Street
20:00 - TBA (TV Burp)
20:30 - Coronation Street
21:00 - Marple

The only opposition I can possibly see for BBC is:

19:15 - EastEnders
19:45 - Doctor Who
21:00 - EastEnders

All Star Family Fortunes
Saturday, 26 December 2009, 8:45PM - 9:30PM

That's made Sunday 27th look incredibly blank apart from Englishman in New York.

ITV confirm this as Saturday 19/12/2009. Why a Saturday? Its labelled as 'Factual'?

All Star Mr & Mrs
Friday, 25 December 2009, 8:00PM - 9:00PM

No one predicted that, did they?

Wow!

But in a way I am pleased, at least its a little different and who knows, might be the most watched programme of the day (I bet 3m-3.5m though )

Midsomer Murders [D.M.N. note - REPEAT]
Sunday, 27 December 2009, 7:00PM - 9:00PM

BBC wouldn't put Dr Who in 8-9pm. It's too late. Russell T Davies has said this.

Though its a repeat, it should do fairly well. I'm not sure what BBC1 have on at the same time, but this should do 4m+

Not a bad idea really.
