Thanks!

Bit of a shame really, I thought this would show up on one of the big days (Christmas Eve, Christmas day or Boxing Day).
I agree. Even New Year's Day would be better than where they've put it. Can't understand the logic because the pilot rated superbly.

Yay, Charlie's back! Seems it's going straight to BBC Two this year. Nowhere to be found in the BBC Four listings.

BBC Four is showing The Road to Coronation Street again on Xmas Day.

Yeah exactly!

And it was up against Wild at Heart and Dancing on Ice!

Cheers . SCD should rate very well as the competition looks weak! Casualty will most likely post one of its best ratings of the year in that slot. I thought Channel 5 held the rights for I Am Legend? I must be confused with another Will Smith movie!
I don't think C5 has ever shown I Am Legend.

However it has been shown on Freeview before during one of those "free weekend pass" events on Sky3, sampling the best of pay TV.

The Santa Files seems to have a daft air date - after Christmas? Surely it should be before? As ever, there is the suual mix of good and bad on each channel. I doubt BBC1's pre Christmas schedule will be that weak, I think they're just playing their cards close to their chest.

As for last night - good for ITV1 but maybe not as good as I expected considering the line up they had. BBC1 held up well.

Ah right. So I take it, it'll be a terrestrial network premiere? In the same slot last year, Love Actually had 3.7m - even it's a premiere I dont think IAL will quite match the Love Actually rating.

Yep- and I agree. I was surprised to see Love Actually being shown after Christmas on the 27th at 10:15pm and ITV2 on the 30th. That film always tends to repeat well so I thought it might get a more prominent slot than that.

You mean Love Actually is only on twice? I would have expected at least 8 airings.

Hooray for Digiguide - now we know what's actually on, we can start speculating about where these shows will actually end up.

If anyone doubts that these are still draft, ITV seems to be showing the 7.5 hr Director's Cut of Bridget Jones Diary on Christmas Day night (all night...)

65min Doctor Who, note - both the first and repeat showings down at this length.

Good Christmas for Granada - Royle Family, Coro St, Benidorm and Road to Coro St all down for airing on Christmas Night on 3 different channels.

Granada/ITV Studios doesn't make Benidorm though (if that's what you meant).

Really enjoying all the speculation and contradiction.

Things are looking feasible on BBC One in terms of days, though I guess timings will be changing, especially on Christmas Day. Stripping Upstairs Downstairs is a good idea IMO, though the slot for Rock and Chips looks a bit random, especially given that its christmas themed apparently. Christmas Eve is the most disappointing day (should it all actually come to pass).

It seems that BBC2 are lining up their goodies for the week preceeding Christmas - and taking advantage of One's weak Christmas Eve - which at least means most won't clash with other big shows elsewhere. A good idea, I think.

Sacralige! It deserves a better slot than that, I would have shoved it on ITV1 for Tue 28/Wed 29 in the 9pm slot. It usually gets good ratings - I seem to remember it trending on twitter the last time it was shown on there (not that that's a ratings indicator)

Oh, OK. I assumed it was.

Sunday 19th looks interesting - ITV looking to crush SPOTY with the big Harry Potter premiere (which would get a 30 min head start), with BBC1 airing The Apprentice Final at 9pm after SPOTY, which ITV counters with a David Jason drama premiere.

Hm. Strangely competitive for ITV1 - I did wonder if BBC1 might be tempted to blitz an anticipated rubbish ITV line up with SPOTY and The Apprentice. If so, and if ITV sticks to its guns, I think this may backfire.

The Apprentice would clean up on Weds 23rd - by which time, I think they could move the 10pm News to 11pm. Most folk will be in holiday move by then.

It's not a premiere of Harry Potter 5 though. They've already shown it earlier this year.

Even if it was a premiere, I don't think it would've "crushed" SPOTY anyway.

You're right.

That's twice I've been wrong on this thread tonight.

Not like me...

The David Jason drama sounds not much cop, but will get decent numbers I would expect, even against The Apprentice Final - it will put a big dent in one of BBC1's big hitters for 2010:

Hm, David Jason playing the head of a cockney household facing hard times and losing everything. That sounds vaguely familiar somehow. Has he done something a bit like that before?

No? I must be thinking of someone else then...

Just considering 6 primetime hours of soaps/celeb in the last two nights, certainly is feeding time for ITV.

Even though it is November, I'll be surprised if ratings are not boosted a tad due to the weather this weekend and into next weekend.

They didn't seem to be boosted that much last night. If anything viewing seemed a little on the low side. (at least on the main channels)

This cold spell hasn't created a widespread snow event yet in England, which might have something to do with it.
