... it's been a long time, but I believe SCD is usually on about 9pm on a Christmas Day ... don't forget they usually also try & squeeze in Doctor Who and two episodes of EastEnders ... not all that much time left in a single evening's schedule ... hopefully I'm wrong and it'll be 8pm though!
... and don't get me started on Elf ... I sulked in the corner & tweeted about my loopy family instead of watching ... (actually, all things considered, its really not that dire a film, but nobody in our family is under 30, so I really have no idea why that was chosen over all the other things we could have been doing ... if we ever manage a game of cards/scrabble/cranium over Christmas I may explode with joy ... and wonder when the doctor will arrive to discover which alien overlord has replaced my family with something even more sinister!)
