Christmas seems to be getting earlier every year!

Have bookmarked this

It's only December 2014 but these have already been confirmed for Christmas 2015!

BBC

Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None
Call the Midwife
Sherlock

ITV

The Jonathan Ross Show

I think it'll be £3.90 when it is released.

Release date should be: Saturday 5th December (in the south/Midlands)
Schedule: Saturday 19th December 2015 through to Friday 1st January 2016

Now that the 2015 countdown thread has started, I hope it will be as funny and as informative as the 2014 thread !

£4.00 surely.

It is like an old friend who has had plastic surgery......

Just a reminder about the second RT Quiz I'll be running in August. This year will fly by!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

So pleased this is here, I feel happier going into 2015 with it in place. Loved wizzywick's quiz. Why not do one in January about this year's xmas tv?

Well, I will do the August Quiz as it is sort of a way to counting down the final few weeks before Claires_Dad launches his cover competition.

However, if anyone wants to do a January Quiz based on the previous Christmas' TV schedules, I think that would be great fun and I would be only happy to participate. It could become a tradition.

Ah yes nice to see this thread up and running!

Film Premieres? Brave, Wreck It Ralph, Rise Of The Guardians, The Croods, Life Of Pi.....

Oh and I expect Sherlock will be on Christmas Day at 9pm and Series 4 will kick off New Years Day at 9pm as well.

I posted this in the 2014 thread but think i was too late in starting it should have started it beginning of December when the schedules first came out but a just for fun competition this year - see how popular it is and may go big next year with a prize

Thanks to all that have entered so far

For a bit of fun, my prediction for Christmas 2015

17:00 Doctor Who
18:00 EastEnders
18:30 Still Open All Hours
19:00 Strictly Come Dancing
20:15 EastEnders
20:45 Sherlock
22:15 FILM: Mrs Browns Boys D'Movie

In December 2012 I started the 2013 countdown thread and got a certain amount of flack! I didn't have the courage to do it again, so well done and thank you to Only_You. I will enjoy reading this through the year.

Now, a terrible confession: my first Christmas 2015 - yes, 2015 - catalogue arrived in the post yesterday! It's from Park Christmas Savings Club, which used to be called Park Hampers but now sells all sorts of things. I have never bought anything from a savings or hamper company, but it's fun to see the Cadbury's, Mars and Nestle selection boxes and, when the goods appear in the shops in September, find out if the designs are the same!

Sad? Maybe. Fun? Definitely!

Only_You had the honour via the RT cover competition.

I think it will be

17:00 Animated special like Gruffalo
17:30 Strictly come Dancing
18:45 Eastenders
19:45 Doctor Who
20:45 Sherlock
22:15 Mrs Browns Boys xmas special
22:50 BBC News

I think Mrs Browns Boys D'movie will be on Boxing day

Just hoping for some better films next year - this years line up isn't great!

i'd do it if nobody wants to do it

confirmation today that Radio Times WILL increase by 20p to £2.00 from the issue out on Christmas Eve

Disgrace. Why is it going up in 20pences every year ? I would prefer them to either
a) increase advertising b) get rid of the Your RT section or c) have 1 page of choices. or do all 3 if they have to.

it is a kick in the teeth for loyal readers - and does nothing to entice new or casual readers. I think i will only buy the xmas edition now.

I buy TV choice which is 45p a week better value the rest of the year. Still buy RT at xmas though

Although not the entire fault of RT it is Immediate Media who owns it - nobodys costs have increased by 50% in 3 years and if they have they should look for other ways to increase revenue than clobber the reader such as - stop paying celebrities for their views and columns we dont want to know what they think we want to know whats on TV and Radio

I suppose they think the average reader of Rt is of a higher pay bracket so can afford it

I will renew my subscription using the offer I had £17 for 13 weeks but when that goes up that will be it - 40 years of buying it week in week out over

I can't see Doctor Who and Sherlock being back to back. I also can't see Sherlock on before 9pm and Doctor Who starting as late as 7:45pm.

One things for sure Sherlock will be the main show the BBC will be bigging up next Christmas! Maybe even the idents in part will get a Sherlock themed overhaul

I thought that due to Doctor Who and Sherlock having similar fans the BBC would cash in on this by airing them back to back. I also think due to Sherlock, this year will be the last time for a couple of years Downton Abbey airs on xmas day

I see what you mean and if anything that would be more reason to split them up so you could have more variation in the evening of the biggest night of the year for TV.

I can see Brave or Wreck It Ralph taking the usual animation afternoon slot. Though I have a feeling Ralph will be on New Years day with series 4 of Sherlock kicking off at 9pm.
