EastEnders and Corrie won't clash on Christmas Day.
They made EastEnders an hour to combat the first hour of Downton since 2011. Now with Downton Christmas specials being less popular since 2011, EastEnders collapsing last Christmas and Mrs Brown's Boys showing how popular it was last year. BBC1 aren't scheduling to accommodate Downton anymore. |

EE v Corrie certainly won't stick come next week. I imagine we'll see ITV more likely to shift Corrie than BBC to shift EE because the EE-Miranda-EE-MBB line-up could work very well for EE. The two comedies will perform well whether they're paired together or apart. I'd say they're going to revise the schedule to...
BBC One 15:10 FILM: Madagascar 3 (fits the TBA timeslot) 16:45 BBC News 17:00 Strictly Come Dancing 18:15 Call The Midwife 19:30 Doctor Who [I think they'll switch around because the same happened last year + it's been airing in a late slot this series] 20:30 EastEnders 21:00 Miranda 21:35 EastEnders 22:05 Mrs Brown's Boys 22:40 Michael McIntyre's Christmas Show ITV 16:20 You've Been Framed 17:20 Paul O'Grady: For The Love of Dogs 18:20 Emmerdale 19:20 ITV News 19:30 Coronation Street 20:30 Downton Abbey |

Forget Madagascar 3....stick on Muppet Christmas Carol, I don't care how much the rights cost, it's worth every penny.

I think Madagascar 3 is a terribly weak film for the post-Queen slot. The Muppets or Puss in Boots is much more appealing for Christmas Day. Madagascar is OK, but it's no Shrek!
Another film not mentioned in the press pack is Mars needs Moms |

What the heck? The Day After Tomorrow has been on network TV loads of times (Film 4 methinks). And by the way ITV, no Bond again after Queen's Speech this year? I know Skyfall is too 'adult' for an afternoon slot, but a light-hearted Moore romp would have done nicely.

Christmas Dread-Enders
Surely, The whole idea of Christmas TV is (A) It is family orientated, and (B) It is a special Christmas edition.
Eastenders takes up primetime on Christmas evening but falls into neither category It is the same old depressing storylines of murder/rape/violence/domestic abuse/and on and on it goes. Is this really suitable Christmas Viewing? No it is not. I know it has millions of viewers but that does not mean it should be shown on Christmas day (and let’s face it many, of these millions, will watch anything that is put in front of them). Sadly for millions in this country, the afore mentioned issues are real life experiences. Perhaps Christmas Day is the one day they can try to forget about these horrors? No chance, not with any let up from the BBC in sight. I think it’s disgusting that this is shown on Christmas Night. |

I read somewhere that the BBC One controller told EastEnders bosses she did not want a gloomy edition on Christmas Day this year |

I'll be chuckling along to Mrs Browns Boys instead Yes, I know it's an acquired taste and old-fashioned but then so is Christmas pudding.

True. As much as I like the Dudley Moore Santa Claus film, years ago it would have been an 11am movie while in the afternoon something more high-profile (and modern) would be shown, like a Harry Potter film
Nice to sss Lorianne being shown upto and including Christmas Eve, but I doubt it will be her probabky be kate |

As Guardians is part of the Avengers 2 set of films would imagine it is part of a bundle. Bond I thought was wit ITV. |

To be honest ITV want to get the viewers up to Dec 23rd, thus get the advertisers. |
