Rumoured Christmas Day schedule for BBC One:
3.00pm- The Queen 3.10pm- Film: Wall-E 4.50pm- BBC News 5.00pm- Film: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 7.00pm- Doctor Who: A Christmas Carol 8.00pm- Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special 9.00pm- EastEnders 10.00pm- The Royle Family 11.00pm- News 11.10pm- Film: Minority Report Courtesy of COMPAQ in the Christmas Thread. Pretty much makes sense, but notably The One Ronnie is not there, despite the rumours. Clearly it had to be sacrificed in order for Indiana Jones to air later in the afternoon. Also, a shame to have another hour-long EastEnders this year. The double episode is so much better IMO. However, I'm glad Doctor Who is on at 7pm rather than 6pm last year, which was terrible. If true, it makes its highly likely ITV will predictably run as follows, with Emmerdale vs Doctor Who and Coronation Street vs Strictly: 7.00pm- Emmerdale 8.00pm- Coronation Street 9.00pm- Agatha Christie's Poirot 11.00pm- News |

That Miranda repeat wasn't billed in the Radio Times, or anywhere, I don't think. Last week they showed the repeat on Wednesday at 7.30, unbilled, but this week it was billed on Wednesday with Mock The Week on Tuesday at 10pm. But in fact Miranda was shown last night and Escape to the Country is now an hour long at 7pm tonight.
Clearly this has been a last minute decision as next week's Radio Times says in the billing for Monday's show the repeat is on Wednesday at 7.30, but it's actually billed on Tuesday at ten. I dunno what happened there, presumably they decided to do a repeat, put it at 7.30, then decided it was unsuitable for such an early slot? ![]() maybe the good ratings for its rubbish 8.30pm slot prompted a rejig in schedule. It deffo works as a 10pm programme, no idea why BBC are showing so early on Monday |

SCD was a weak-link in the BBC1 schedule last year when it only got 6.7m but it'll definitely rate better this year, maybe back to 2007/2008 levels of ~8.5m. Not sure what to expect regarding 'Enders - it's definitely favourite to be most watched show of the day but I dunno if it will be able to beat last year's 10.9m when there was a pretty big storyline (Archie's murder). I suspect The Royle Family will rate similar to the previous 2 years, so about 10m in the overnights. |

So Kingdom of the Crystal Skull should be capable of getting 7/8m+ imo and in the past Christmas premieres of Indiana Jones movies have rated very well even by BBC1's high-rated Xmas Day movie standards (15.8m in 1993).

According to the ITV Press Centre, their Christmas Day schedule is: 20:00- The Cube 21:00- Benidorm Christmas Special Presumably that means Emmerdale and Corrie will air between 6-8pm. I suppose the above means that the BBC1 schedule in terms of the timings of their primetime shows will be quite similar to last year. i.e. DW at 6pm, SCD at 7pm, EE at 8pm, TRF at 9pm... In recent years, non-soap ITV shows have rated about 30% worse on Xmas Day than they usually rate so I predict The Cube will get ~3.5m and Benidorm getting ~4m. Quote:

DWTS up, Glee down
Link (Marc Berman/Travis Yanan): http://pifeedback.com/eve/forums/a/t...51/m/284101733
Link (TVbyTN): http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/201...-down-20/73306 According to overnights, ABC's DWTS went up 23% (from last fall's finale, ie. season 9) to an amazing 5.3 in 18-49 demo. Total viewers numbers were also mega-giant as it has attracted 24.13m, with a peak of 26.42m (6.0) at 10:30pm-11pm. The most-deserving winner won this season. Although DWTS finale part 2 didn't clash with Fox's Glee, Glee went down a full point to 4.0 from last week's 5.0 in 18-49 demo. Total viewers, it scored a 10.38m. Looks like Modern Family might claim the scripted show crown this week. |

That, or the BBC will have to put Indiana Jones on earlier in the day, but would they want to? Just a thought - if the BBC put EastEnders in ah hour slot, why don't ITV split Corrie into two episodes? |

Yeah it looks like he's guessing rather than having proper inside information. The Royle Family Vs Benidorm will be an interesting battle! |

I think that provisional schedule is OK after 7pm, but I can't see the Beeb airing Indiana Jones at 5pm. That's surely the time when the most kids will be watching TV on Christmas Day so they'd want one of their PG or U movies to go in that slot. Not saying Indiana Jones wouldn't rate well it just doesn't seem appropriate for the slot.

Not for a long time has ITV1 put a Comedy against the BBC's big Christmas Day Comedy!
The Royle Family Vs Benidorm will be an interesting battle! Benidorm will have a Cube lead-in and I reckon it'll be 30% down compared to the usual 6m it gets so the gap between the two shows won't even be remotely close! Quote:
But several sources now have said Indiana Jones is scheduled for Christmas Day so where exactly else could it go?

I wouldn't be surprised if it is confirmed, whatever they put on will get steamrolled anyways. |

Both shouldn't be getting primetime 9pm slots. Why not air Benidorm on Monday 20th December?!Pretty good slots for Marple & Poirot and good to see some new drama in Christmas week. And POG @ Christmas is a good idea I think. |

Hmm, not keen on Benidorm airing on Xmas Day. If it does clash with The Royle Family then frankly it's a disaster waiting to happen as I suspect there is a large overlap, most of which will already be watching BBC1. If they do insist on putting it there then they could at least give it a Corrie lead in. I suspect that BBC1 will be running with something like this:
15:00 The Queen 15:10 Merry Madagascar/The Gruffalo 15:35 FILM: Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull 17:35 BBC News 17:45 Strictly Come Dancing 19:00 Doctor Who 20:00 EastEnders 21:00 The Royle Family 22:00 The One Ronnie Not sure if BBC1 has bought Merry Madagascar, but they should do as it would do well for them. The 10pm show wouldn't have to be The One Ronnie but that's the one I thought of. In response to this, I think a better ITV schedule could be: 15:00 The Queen 15:10 FILM: Harry Potter and The... 18:05 Creature Comforts 18:15 You've Been Framed at Christmas 18:45 ITV News 19:00 Emmerdale 20:00 The Cube 21:00 Coronation Street 22:00 Benidorm That would probably be best for both parties, with the obvious exception of Corrie versus The Royles, but frankly I think whatever airs against Corrie has a slightly harder time than the rest of the schedule and I think Strictly could really sweep up loads of viewers in that slot with little opposition. Benidorm vs The One Ronnie in that slot would also be slightly more evenly matched tussle than Benidorm vs The Royles an hour earlier. The other bits that ITV have announced so far seem pretty good. Murder on The Orient Express is great for Boxing Day and Marple will do well on the two Wednesdays (I suspect that's where the second one will go - EDIT: that's now 'confirmed'). Come Rain Come Shine will presumably take Monday 27th so with Paul O'Grady and Millionaire Live on Xmas Eve and Thursday 23rd respectively that's a fair bit of the schedule sorted. Are Ant and Dec doing a special this year? They did really well last year so ITV would be fools not to commission one. That'll probably get Boxing Day at about 19:30 if they do one again. Surprised Children's Hospital is getting a 9pm slot. It sounds worthy and 'feelgood' (for this sort of thing) enough but 8pm on the Tuesday would surely be better. The schedules aren't confirmed properly until Tuesday so there's still plenty of time for swapping, and ITV Press Centre has changed things already on there for the last few Christmases in the run up to the deadline, so I wouldn't say any of this is set in stone yet. |

Poirot is more popular than Marple and that went up against The Apprentice a few weeks ago, with an Emmerdale lead-in and got 4.8m. As Marple's less popular and probably won't have an Emmerdale lead-in and will face the actual final of TA, it might drop down to 3.5-4.5m. Marple the week after should do pretty well though. Also a bit weird they're airing Children's Hospital on the Monday because I thought the second part of The Savoy would air there. |

I can't see it staying there as The Savoy will surely be there. I reckon Children's Hospital will air on Tuesday 21st at 8pm with the David Suchet doc at 9pm. |

If confirmed, credit to ITV for actually competitng with a decent offering at 9pm Christmas Day. Putting viewers choice before profit there. Quote:

Not sure putting a repeat or a short spin-off would be a good idea for capitalising on the 6m lead-in BBC will have. I would have had the Indiana Jones film on ar 3:10 to avoid viewers staying with Harry Potter all afternoon.

All times are GMT. The time now is 04:27.




and now 'Children's Hospital at Christmas'. Both shouldn't be getting primetime 9pm slots. Why not air Benidorm on Monday 20th December?!
