Another thing from the highlights is no mention of a new Not Going Out Special - will have to wait for the series

Good to hear BBC Are doing a concert for New Year, I didn't think it would happen this year, especially with BBC1 having to show Match of the Day.
I guess Graham Nortons final show of the year will be on 30 December, in its normal slot, or 10.25pm Because doesn't the late news, revert to 20 minutes of main news and 5 minutes of regional news over the festive period. I know the evening news on BBC and ITV tends to revert to 15 minutes international news and 15 of regional |

Used to love that as a kid/teenager, but these days, its virtually the same every year, a bit like Children In need |

Hi everyone as you can tell I am new to the forums but have been following this thread for the last few months. I know the competition is over but I think my ideas for the traditional cover would be Santa getting into the sliegh with a Robin flying past. As for the program cover I think the stars of outnumbered sat eating dinner with the doctor and Mrs Brown would have worked. When can we start doing the schedule competition and does anyone think Football focus and final score might return to BBC one on Boxing day?

With regards FF and FS i think Focus may be on but Final SCore will probably be on red button and on BBC Two |

Just read the Radio Times Extra booklet that gets sent out to subscribers and on page two Ben Preston talks about the RT Festival in London in April and says tickets go on sale December 5 - watch out for details online and in our Christmas double issue. Expect to hear a heavy thump on your doorstep FROM 9 DECEMBER!!!

Hi welcome to the thread - the schedule comp opens at 5pm tonight and ends on Thursday at 5pm
With regards FF and FS i think Focus may be on but Final SCore will probably be on red button and on BBC Two I know in most cases it takes 3 years for films to be shown on TV but is it usually shorter for the BBC's own films. As I think if that is the case then Spooks the greater good and Bill might be shown at some point this Christmas if not then definitely next Christmas |

I cant remember the last time they shown Final Score on BBC1 on a Boxing Day, got a feeling we are looking at pre Jeff Stelling Soccer Saturday days.
I remember in those days, you wouldn't have a clue on how your team was doing until 4.40 as there wasn't any other way of finding out. And if i remember rightly the Saturday which fell between Christmas and New Year, BBC1 would put on Festive Programming, instead of Grandstand, |

So the BBC probably doesn't have Frozen? If they did, they would surely be making a big song and dance about it.

Apart from last year when Boxing Day fell on a Saturday, previous years, before that, BBC Never Shown Focus on a Boxing Day.
I would be more inclined to think BBC1 will give us Focus on Christmas Eve, with a fairly normal Style Saturday Morning, before they go go into full Chrimbo Mode, after the L:unchtime news |

Well looking at old schedules, the last time Christmas Eve fell on a Saturday in 2011, Football Focus wasn't scheduled at all on BBC One or BBC Two. Instead BBC One shown a Christmas special of an old Keeping Up Appearances

But doesn't that apply to other channels too, wouldn't Channel 4 or whoever also make a big song and dance about it? Maybe no channel has it this Christmas.

I can't see focus been on Christmas Eve it makes more sense to have it on boxing day building up to the boxing day matches. I think it certain new years eve will be the normal Saturday service with final score from about 4:00
