Some donut mixed up the thriller movie Frozen with the Disney Frozen!

As if BBC1 would put a 15 rated horror thriller on a Christmas day afternoon.
Reminds me of the girl who asked Father Christmas for a Frozen Dollie, and the parents got her a doll out of the freezer on Christmas Day.

Why has Digi guide got a description of Frozen
three skiers stranded on a chairlift are forced to make life-or-death choices which prove more peril.
And the picture is of animated characters anyone know which one is showing
The initial listing actually had the same cast as the 15 rated movie, but an update on Friday changed it to the cast of the animated movie.... it's possible it might change today - or maybe it will stay how it is until the final schedules are published and get updated then, after all - it's not the only problem with Christmas Day on BBC1

EDIT: Original Cast:
Director: Adam Green
Starring: Emma Bell, Shawn Ash, Kevin Zegers, Ed Ackerman, Rileah Vanderbilt, Kane Hodder

Friday Update:

Directors: Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee
Starring: Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, Josh Gad, Santino Fontana, Alan Tudyk

ITV are really pushing the Christmas adverts. So far I've seen adverts for ITV (all channels), ITV3, Maigret and The Only Way Is Essex. No idents yet but I imagine they'll start to appear on Thursday.

Unlikely I don't think digiguide work at the weekends, and wouldn't be surprised if the schedulers don't either! ..................but I'll keep checking just in case

I'd rather he wasn't in the Christmas RT or on Strictly. He was fun while it was appropriate. But enough is enough now.

Agree, I enjoyed him, but do not want good dancers to go.

It's probably not a popular opinion -

But I'm really disappointed that Christmas Lights isn't on one of the ITV channels this year. I enjoy watching that every year - it's a fun feel good programme, and the follow up where they go looking for the Northern Lights is also a good one.

I might tweet them and see if they can slot it in somewhere.....

No itv2 schedules announced yet and itv3 still has some TBA's plus nothing is confirmed yet so still a chance it may be on somewhere!

Thanks for that - I'll be honest - I assumed the big provisional listings update on Thursday covered the entire period but since you said that I checked the individual channel and has no listings past 17th December - so there is indeed still hope. I wonder if that means that there is still hope for repeats of the ITV2 pantos too.

I've got my Christmas marker up to date so I'll pop up in my daily (automated) printed TV guides if it gets scheduled.

Search:
("christmas" or "festive" or "xmas")

Which in combination with:
(("special" or "celebrity" or "celebrities") and (not "repeat"))
Will pick up on Christmas stuff and celebrity versions of game/quiz/panel shows

I love Digiguide.

Please be very very careful in discussing any " Results" to avoid any unwanted spoiler.

So far so good, but it could develop.

Not on here. I think we are intelligent enough to know whats right and what isnt. Besides, no one else mentioned it after the tiny amount of posts about it above until your post!

Just wondering, anyone know how much the Christmas RT edition will be?
Need to work out whether I'll need to load up all our family iTunes accounts with £15 vouchers so that everyone has a Christmas RT on their iPads and the week before?
Last year they were £1.99 and £3.99
The radio times has gone up since then I see to £2.29 a week now.

Might not even bother with the 10th to 17th edition this year, its taht little a bit earlier.to make it not worth it.

Have we had any snippets of the cover yet? Not seeing any on the RT site. Im sure its normally about this time.
