No offense but I really hope they don't. I would love to see old black and white movies in the morning slot on BBC Two over the Christmas fortnight. CBBC has it's own channel so you can see all CBBC programmes on that channel. Having said this sadly as the BBC has only a limited number of old movies available under their licence, they may sandwich just 1 old film in between repeats or Signed Zone maybe, but would love to see a double bill of old movies every morning

Edit : read that too quickly! Yes subscribers should receive their copies on Saturday As regards Christmas issue : They are sent out in batches so anytime between Monday 5th and Friday 9th December. The RT Extra in this weeks subscriber's copies says expect a loud thump on December 9th but I think they're just covering themselves. |

Yes I looked at that. But it doesn't give you quite the same amount of detail. It doesn't go so far in advance either, but it is a good basic TV guide though.

Totally agree. Leave CBBC on CBBC and put some classic movies on BBC2, kids will be well served by all the animated movies that will be on BBC1. Somebody mentioned Laurel & Hardy many posts back and it would be great to have a couple of their shorts on the mornings like they used to do. Unlikely though.

Does anyone know if we'll see the early provisional Christmas listings released on DigiGuide today? Or will those be revealed tomorrow? I'm sure one year they were released on the Wednesday, but can't remember 100%

Indeed. And I would bet that between Christmas Eve 6pm - Boxing Day after MOTD, the programmes shown on BBC One will be all brand new and previously unseen on the BBC.
I get fed up with the moaners! |

While I agree with you in a way I think the fact they is no longer any CBBC slots means that they will struggle to fill up the morning on both channels without resorting to some of the normal daytime shows or the same films they always show. I think they is room for both classic films on BBC Two and one or two children programmes without the CBBC or cbeebies branding on BBC one. At the very least the cbeebies panto deadly 60 and one of the dick and Dom programmes will probably sneak into the schedule somewhere on one of the mornings. It would be nice of Laural and Hardy was showing though.
What I'd hate to see is for BBC Two to revert to a schedule from 6am until 11.30am of CBBC, although to be fair even prior to 2013 when the daytime changes kicked in across BBC One and Two, every Christmas BBC Two only ever used to show CBBC until 8.30am and then BBC Two would show documentary repeats and factual programmes with a couple of films late morning/early afternoon. |

Yes I agree. If BBC Two is to show CBBC and CBeebies, I would like them to be shown from 6am until 8am maybe and show classic movies from say 8am until 11am.
