Frozen is being removed from Sky Cinema soon so I imagine it will be shown on BBC One this year.
The Harry Potter films are being removed to so I imagine ITV will have those on over Christmas again. Frozen was removed on Netflix ages ago ready for a Premiere on TV. |

The Old Turtles Movies haven't been shown for awhile.
They are a feel-good movies to watch at Christmas. Also for the adults, maybe some good christmas Horrors? Black Xmas is one I'd love to see ! |

Toy Story 2 was on BBC One last Saturday, Toy Story 3 this coming Saturday.
Indiana Jones will probably be shown again in the week up to Christmas. |

With all the specials that BBC have already announced there looks to be little time for feature films - the schedule I have come up with only has one prime time film slot on Christmas Eve although there will be a few new animated films getting a premiere

Claires_Dad I've noticed that on you're (brilliant
) website that Not Going Out is listed as "possible" for this Christmas. Now I could be going mad but I'm sure that it's been confirmed?In other news I see that "Walliams & Friend" has been recommissioned for not just one episode, but a full series I thought it was awful bar one or two sketches, how can they recommission crap like that, and axe popular shows like Dickensian?

The problem with Dickensian was that they moved it around too much like it was filler material. I know there were 20 episodes but it seemed like they wanted to show them quick. It would have been better if they were on Monday and Friday at 8:30 for 10 weeks.
