Just out of interest I contacted the BBC to say that the BBC1 Christmas Day schedules were now becoming predictable.
I wasn't expecting a reply but received one by e-mail today!
Thank you for contacting us about our Christmas schedules.
We understand you felt the 2015 Christmas schedule was predictable and similar to previous years.
It’s always difficult to find the right balance in programming at any time of year but even more so at Christmas.
In our Christmas programming this year we offered Sherlock, Mrs Brown’s Boys, The Detectorists and Doctor Who Christmas specials and new drama Dickensian, And Then There Were None and Luther.
We also broadcast The Great Barrier Reef with Sir David Attenborough, Christmas University Challenge, Gypsy and the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures.
While we realise not everyone will enjoy all that we have to offer, we hope this at least demonstrates some of our efforts to ensure a balance and that there will be something for everyone at some stage of the festive period.
We thank you for your valuable feedback which helps us to get a snapshot of our audiences’ tastes and preferences and will help us shape decisions on future programming.
Once again, thank you for contacting us.
Kind regards
Nicola Egerton
I understand the reply but I was only referring to the BBC1 Christmas Day schedule!
