i would like to see an old sitcom come back for Christmas, dinnerladies, gimme gimme gimme, men behaving badly, absolutely fabulous, only fools and horses, if johns sons would write it, anyone of them would be good rather than the same old every Christmas which is becoming rather tedious

When Victoria Wood was on the One Show before Christmas she said she would love to do another of her specials such as Midlife and All The Trimmings so hopefully that could be done for 2015

Here is few possible schedules all have Sherlock and Doctor Who split up
1. With Call the Midwife and 1hr strictly 15:00 The Queen 15:10 Brave 16:45 BBC News 17:00 Strictly Come Dancing 18:00 Doctor Who 19:00 Call the Midwife 20:15 Eastenders 21:15 Sherlock 22:45 News We can be sure that Eastenders Doctor who Sherlock Strictly Come Dancing 1 film will air on xmas day but Call the Midwife Mrs Brown Animated special could be in doubt and may be moved to Boxing Day. By the way I love Mrs Brown and would hate to not have it on xmas day so I prefer schedule 2 Brave as the Christmas afternoon film is looking a cert for me then Wreck It Ralph on New Years Day. I hope Rise Of The Guardians is on Christmas Eve! The Croods, Life Of Pi, Oz the Great and Powerful and Iron Man 3 are my other predictions. ITV? Well I'm going with Frozen as their big premiere, after all they did put Tangled on back in 2012. |

I expect they'll go for £3.99 or £3.95 for next Christmas's issue. That wouldn't look quite as offputting to casual buyers.

I'm going with your first suggestion. Though I still feel Sherlock is destined to get a 9pm start. But I wouldn't be shocked if it was on Boxing day. Then a Series 4 start on New Years day?

Just said goodbye to the 2014 thread, so here for my first visit to the 2015 one.
I said on the 2014 thread that I watched less tv this Christmas and new year than I think I have ever done. I don't know if that says more about me or what was shown? Anyway, before we know it Easter will have come and gone, the May bank holidays will be past, the tans from the summer will have faded, Halloween and Guy Fawkes night will be but a memory, Wizzywick will have run the pre front cover competition competition and Claires_dad will have opened the legendary guess the front cover competition. The time will fly bye! Have a good year everyone. |

The BBC have been more than aware during this time that the one thing truly missing in their Christmas schedule is a brilliant sitcom special like the ones everyone remembers. Subsequently, they 'brought back' many of the better sitcoms to fill that gap. It has never really worked out though - Royle Family, Absolutely Fabulous, To the Manor Born, Only Fools, Dibley, Still open all Hours etc. None of these individual specials are particularly memorable and have been of quite variable quality. I don't know anyone who watches the 'time on our hands' Only Fools special who then doesn't say "they should have left it there". |

So your Nominations please for
The Best programme on TV Christmas 2014 Most Disappointing programme on TV Christmas 2014 (thats one you were looking forward to but was a let down) Most surprising progamme ( the one you didnt expect to like but did) The best programme, on Christmas Eve BBC4 had a 30 minute Frank Sinatra/Bing Crosby Christmas show. Just perfect for that time. I had never seen it before and was originally broadcast in 1957, according to IMDB, complete with Frank thanking Chesterfields cigarettes, the sponsers ![]() Most disappointing, to be honest, anything I didn't fancy, I just didn't watch. And there was a lot I didn't fancy. Most surprising, there were a couple of BBC Scotland programmes looking back at 2014 in Scotland, a year of the referendum, Commonwealth Games, the Ryder Cup and plenty of other things. They were pretty good. |

It was a brilliant, true life record of contemporary Christmas in the UK - wrapping presents, school nativities, cooking turkeys, homeless shelters etc. Disappointing - Skyfall - cut to bits by ITV Surprising - Dr Who (BBC1 - xmas day) The xmas specials aren't always great but I really enjoyed this years - a real mystery combined with brilliant SFX! |

Good question!
BBC have had pretty much the same schedule for the last few years and top the ratings, be interesting to see how they would fit Sherlock into a Christmas Day schedule. Wouldn't be surprised if Sherlock is kept for New Year's Day. |

That means the Christmas 2020 one is almost 6 years away. That is an absolute MASSIVE Gamble by the BEEB. And whilst it topped in 2014 at 7.63 million it is hardly a record breaker. I just cannot believe any programme would be commisioned for 6 years
