Quote from the Daily Mail:-
"This Christmas, the film takes its place in the festive TV listings. I can’t help thinking what my parents would have thought of their lives sharing billing with the Queen’s Speech and a Bond film. Flummoxed, I’d say." Is that a clue for the schedule? |

I really hope EastEnders goes back to two thirty minute episodes this year;. The show has had a real change of tone in the past month or so, it really feels like Classic EastEnders with a 2016 twist on things. It would be the perfect time for the show to go back to the two thirty minute episodes on Christmas Day as opposed to the hour long episode, just like it was pre 2010 ish.

Still feel Charlie Brooker should get.2 episodes of news wipe, 2016 has been one of the most hellish years we've ever had, Terry Wogan and David Bowie, didn't see out January, and it has just continued.
I hear today though Andy Murray has become World Number 1 in Tennis, the first Brit to become Number 1 since Fred Perry. So that is SPOTY done and dusted |

I can't see the BBC showing Frozen on Christmas Day just after the Queen.
It premiered on ITV last year so it wouldn't be a terrestrial TV premiere, which is what the Beeb schedule for that slot each year. Monsters University I reckon or they'll even push the boat out with The Lego Movie despite that being released early 2014. |
