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.

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

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.

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?
