My time hosting this thread is coming to an end .....
However, a huge congrats to the winner of the Radio Times Cover this year!
I think the cover is pretty good actually but I find it slightly odd that a programme they feel is popular and mainstream enough to put on the front cover of RT has not even got a Christmas Day slot

. I would have loved to see STS slotted in somewhere on the big day itself.
For the first time ever, I am really not engaged and excited about this years Christmas Day schedule. Everything feels even more 'samey' than usual. Ratings are down every year and most are putting that down to more channels, DVDs etc. However, I think a huge contributing factor is that people are just bored of the same old programmes. Christmas Day used to feel special and unique - there is nothing special or unique about this years schedule IMO.
