It's a good idea for BBC 1 to have some news on Christmas Day as long as it's not as much as a normal weekday. Why does BBC 1 need to have the Breakfast programme on for 3 hours on Christmas Day ? Instead they could have short news updates at 7.am and 8.am and find time to show some of those wonderful Laurel and Hardy films.
I would love for the BBC to show Laurel & Hardy films again. They haven't been shown on BBC Two since 2005! A season of L&H shorts and films over Christmas would be brilliant, I really hope the BBC are planning on bringing them back eventually, perhaps to tie in with the upcoming BBC One one-off drama about Laurel & Hardy's touring days in the 1950's maybe? This would seem an ideal time to bring them back

But completely agree about Breakfast being shown on BBC One every morning for 3 hours. This is completely pointless scheduling. Why 3 hours long and not shorten it for 1 hour, especially on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. I hope the BBC review that this Christmas but very much doubt they will sadly.

Guess the RT cover : Entries so far

1) Anthony_Ryan : A traditional nativity scene with the baby Jesus, Joseph, the Virgin Mary, Shepherds and the 3 wise men.

2) BadSignal : A Robin in A Snow filled scene

3) Only_You : The characters from ''Stickman' in a festive scene (Santa makes an appearance somewhere!)

4) wizzywick : A knitted effect. Either in the form of a traditional knitted jumper with snowflakes or snowman or a traditional scene. But, whatever the cover reveals itself to be it will appear to have the look that it has been created by knitting with wool

5) judomole : The Cover will be Shaun the sheep based on the new episode "The Farmers Lama"
Featuring Shaun and the rest of the flock, Bitzer the dog the Farmer and a lama gathered round a Christmas tree with snow in the background

6) altally : My guess is a Santa theme, similar to 1991, 1995, and 1997

7) marke09 : A Shaun the Sheep special from Aardman -
The farmer will be dressed as Santa handing out presents to Bitzer and Shaun, with Timmy dressed as an elf
In the background will be the rest of the sheep trying to decorate a Christmas tree but a string of lights will be around the biggest sheep -
the pigs will be dressed as the three wise men.
Also in the background will be the farmhouse with Santa's reindeer and sleigh on the roof and Santas wellies sticking out from the chimney pot.
It will also be an interactive cover so when you use an app it will have Shaun bleating MERRRRRY Christmas

8) Ian_Stevens : Cover to incorporate Sherlock and the Tardis to publicise both shows with a "Christmasy" background

9) pedrok : A traditional snowy village scene.

10) StuL42 : Santa, with sack of gifts, putting gifts under a Christmas tree

11) smokeycat : a big Christmas pudding, maybe with a robin

12) Claires_dad : a Sherlock cover with Sherlock Holmes and Watson in a snowy Victorian London

13) Aaron_Cardwell : I think we will see a traditional cover comprising of a snowman and a robin will be perched on his twig arm. With Santa 'whooshing' off above the night sky

14) FootballFan87 : Santa delivering presents, flying in the sky

15) SHANK0055 : A large fireplace with a roaring fire, Christmas garland, stockings hung etc

16) nd : Victorian carol singers beneath a street lamp in the snow

17) vinnyvega : a victorian snowy street scene, featuring Sherlock Holmes, all inside a snow globe. Flying out from behind the snow globe is Father Christmas flying into the night on his sleigh

18) tanni1930 : the cast of Downton Abbey in a Christmassy scene

19) cully83 : It will be a typical cobbled street in London. Like something you would see in Sherlock, the street will be covered in snow and by an old street lamp will be the Tardis with snow on top. The street will also be decorated with christmas lights

20) FishyFish : Baubles on a Christmas tree decorated with silhouetted cameo-style images of characters and items from this year's shows (Tardis, Holmes, stick men etc.)

21) andys corner : a festive scene involving the stars of call the midwife

22) Batfink : Santa and his reindeer classic scene

23) Boyontbridge : Sherlock, Watson and a cheerful looking Una Stubbs loitering in the Victorian background

24) Aaronub4t : A small child peering through the window of an old Victorian shop with lots of toys inside

25) Allan : Shaun the sheep in full Christmas mode

26) blueisthecolour : Sherlock Holmes related: Specifically a close up of the door of 221B Baker Street with a Christmas Wreath containing small Sherlock related items

27) johnjuan : Two stained glass windows, one featuring a snowman and the other featuring Father Christmas complete with sack of presents

28) Kittycat73 : a big red post box with snow on the top and a robin sitting on a nearby fence on a snowy street.

29) Cactus_Dave : Animation drawing style of Sherlock and Watson (in classic Holmes costume) searching with magnify glasses at footprints on a snow filled street with the subject of the footprints being Father Christmas smiling from inside a house, his sleigh on top of the house. Will be set in classic Holmes times

30) Pizzatheaction : a drawing of Santa's legs, with a dog tearing Santa's sack, and lots of balls dropping out, each with a picture of a TV show inside

31) pembo2004 : a Santa with presents

32) JOHNOR : a scene that promotes peace and good will, perhaps including church bells, snow and a small robin. I think the words "peace and goodwill" will be present somewhere

33) Spruce : The Kennedys kitted out in authentic 70s Christmas decorations

34) arunan22 : Sherlock related...likely Sherlock and Watson outside their Baker Street house, with the house decorated for Xmas and a tree outside

35) Midsblue : Santa, flying in his sleigh and The Stickman in the sleigh with him

36) davads : a mantelpiece with a row of Christmas cards, one or more of which may be the RT Christmas cards which they're offering to readers

37) td1983 : Santa giving out presents to kids in a festive, snowy scene

38) LightningIguana : a mash up of Sherlock and Watson with the TARDIS/Doctor somewhere in the background, all snowy and Christmassy... with a pudding

39) Gnun20 : Famous TV stars being made into snowmen by Father Christmas. These will include Mrs Brown, Sherlock, The Tardis, Queen Vic, Chummy from CTM, Lady Violet from Downton and Shaun the Sheep

40) Stebee : Santa, sleigh, christmas tree, snow, glistening rooftops, peaceful village, church

41) Treehugger1 : Dr Who and Clara wearing paper hats and tucking into a turkey, in a room full of Christmas decorations and a Christmas tree

42) maddogscott : Christmas village scene along the lines of the 1977 cover, the illustrator will be someone famous I've never heard of!

43) rickideeuk : Santa in Space / Santa on the Moon

Please let me know if I've missed anyone off!

Hard to believe that it's only 5 weeks to Christmas Day.
Where has the year gone?

I'm sure the older you get the quicker time flies by.

Last years grew on me but certainly wouldn't make the top 20 of covers.

I'm a traditionalist so just hope for traditional scene, whatever that may be.

what grinds me is the fact that the radio times love promoting their old covers for promotional and merchandising reasons, so why not try and create something that will stand the test of time as well. I want to look back and say, wow how good was the 2015 cover rather than have to go back to the 70s and 80s as I do now. I mean come on, it can't be that difficult can it?

Guess the RT cover : Entries so far

1) Anthony_Ryan : A traditional nativity scene with the baby Jesus, Joseph, the Virgin Mary, Shepherds and the 3 wise men.

2) BadSignal : A Robin in A Snow filled scene

3) Only_You : The characters from ''Stickman' in a festive scene (Santa makes an appearance somewhere!)

4) wizzywick : A knitted effect. Either in the form of a traditional knitted jumper with snowflakes or snowman or a traditional scene. But, whatever the cover reveals itself to be it will appear to have the look that it has been created by knitting with wool

5) judomole : The Cover will be Shaun the sheep based on the new episode "The Farmers Lama"
Featuring Shaun and the rest of the flock, Bitzer the dog the Farmer and a lama gathered round a Christmas tree with snow in the background

6) altally : My guess is a Santa theme, similar to 1991, 1995, and 1997

7) marke09 : A Shaun the Sheep special from Aardman -
The farmer will be dressed as Santa handing out presents to Bitzer and Shaun, with Timmy dressed as an elf
In the background will be the rest of the sheep trying to decorate a Christmas tree but a string of lights will be around the biggest sheep -
the pigs will be dressed as the three wise men.
Also in the background will be the farmhouse with Santa's reindeer and sleigh on the roof and Santas wellies sticking out from the chimney pot.
It will also be an interactive cover so when you use an app it will have Shaun bleating MERRRRRY Christmas
