Frozen is yet to premiere on terrestrial television.

Frozen hasn't been on terrestrial TV yet, certainly hasn't been shown on ITV!

Every room other than the Bathroom's. I have a full size Tree in my bedroom and loads of other decorations, the Kitchen has some little bits to. I'm still buying new decorations for this year so may get some for the bathroom.

BBC and ITV love to have normal schedules when possible.

We've known for some time but to save you looking back through the thread it will be available in some regions from Saturday 3rd December and in all regions by Wednesday 7th December.

ITV will but I think BBC One will have a movie in the aftrnoon from the Monday whilst BBC Two will show classic sitcoms.

the problem is the BBC do their daytime programme series in batches of 5 or 10 so it would muck it up but then they could use the first week of January to have some repeats before starting a whole host of new series week after

With ITV I guess This Morning will finish on 16 December, cant see it running until 23 December. Same with Loose Women.

Which will probably mean fans of old episodes of Tipping Point, the Chase, Dickensons Real Deal, Rebound will be happy.

Of Course if BBC One were still showing Children's Programmes, and the same with CITV, we would get a mixture of Kiddie shows, and a Family movie in the mornings

On That Morrisons ad, the reference to Turkey winning the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest made me chuckle, wonder if the company making the ad knew that out of the top of there heads and not Google.

Will feel more festive from next sunday, when Im a Celebrity returns.

Just been watching Points of View Sad I know, but have been waiting for Final Score to start.

They said at times, they put repeated issues of programmes, to fill out series, cant they do that at the end of the year maybe

For anyone who hasn't signed up to the '12 issues for £1' Radio Times offer before.
'Buy Subscriptions' via Topcashback. co.uk are giving £5.25 cashback for new Customers.

So basically you get paid £4.25 for 12 issues (including christmas issue).

i vote for option 1 and i honestly beleive that as WIZZYWICK puts so much effort into this thread i would love to see him start next years and i strongly believe that he would not let any of us down. It would be a nice way of thanking him.

I think the reason ads and some other stuff are later this year is that Christmas Day is on a Sunday tis year which for many retailers mean that it is at the start of a new week eg last year week 51 but this year its week 52

right im sure youve been on the edge of your seats waiting for the results of the poll

1 - nominations 24%

2 - Quiz 7%

3 - leave It as It Is 63%

Therefore the winner of the cover competition will also get to start the new thread

So I look forward to starting it again mid December
