A great line up!”
Although I can't see the BBC ditching Call The Midwife from Christmas Day. I thought Strictly worked very well in the 5pm slot last year as the anchor to start Christmas night and capture the post-Toy Story audience. 5pm is too early for Doctor Who, and maybe also for CTM (although I wouldn't mind it going that early).
17:00 Call The Midwife / Strictly Come Dancing
18:15 Doctor Who
19:15 EastEnders
19:45 Strictly Come Dancing / Call The Midwife
21:00 EastEnders
21:30 Miranda
22:00 Mrs Brown's Boys
Either way they need to split EE again - it rates much better as two separate episodes compared to an hour long.
