Only thing is that interests me is Eastenders, rest of it I can hit or miss.

Most of my Christmas Schedules, wlll be based around Sky Sports, as I love my sport, more than any other TV Programmes.

It isn't just the BBC schedules, on ITV it will be Corrie and Emmerdale and that is about it.

Hope ITV3 put on the old British comedy films as always, Love a bit of Carry On or On the Buses

On the above schedule I would move Mrs Browns Boys and Not Going Out, I find Mrs Browns Boys a hard watch, basically a comedy about a man in drag.

Hope sometime in the festive period BBC show an episode of the Royal Family, in memory of Caroline Aherne, ever better a an evening, with episodes of how Mrs Merton Show, The Fast Show, but am probably expecting too much

Christmas Day has traditionally been a day where BBC1 plays its greatest hits. What is popular now will not be the case in a decade so of course the beeb are going to advantage of what works for them, while things still do.

I think so but makes you wonder who watches it. Any big story happens and I would think normal programs would stop on BBC one and show what's happened anyway so it seems pointless in a way. I

I think they will play it safe to the usual formula for Christmas Day, maybe split EE since Downton Abbey is now out of the way and it's weaker.

15:10 FILM: Frozen or Monsters University
16:40 BBC News
16:50 Roald Dahl's Revolting Rhymes
17:15 Doctor Who
18:15 EastEnders
18:45 Strictly Come Dancing
20:00 Call The Midwife
21:15 EastEnders
21:45 Mrs Brown's Boys
22:25 Michael McIntyre's Big Christmas Show

I can see CBBC unofficially taking over the morning though out the fortnight on BBC Two and certain days on BBC one just to fill the schedule up

Has there been any radio announcements?
Junior choice has been a constant for a few years, I wonder if there'll be a tribute. A programme with a new presenter or something different tried.

That looks good for the best part but isn't MMc down for Xmas Eve in the slot he's in now? EastEnders, imo, will still be an hour from around 9.
