http://www.johnlewis.com/christmas-a...ertheboxer____ The CGI was poor in places, shame as parts were done well.. Be honest, we have foxes round our way in the gardens in the summer evenings and they are a nuisance and would have left a big pile of something inside the trampoline. The music is not quite right somehow. Mind you do like the range of goods they are selling related to it, quite nice. If I was still a kid, I'd be asking for the Pyjama sets ![]() The Morrison's one is the best so far. |

I think they'll be the same for the most part until Xmas Eve but BBC1 will probably show films or something during the afternoons in the week up to December 23rd.

ITV are showing a repeat of Let's Do Christmas With Gino And Mel on Sunday the 20th, find this a bit weird.

Last year BBC1 showed the first three Indiana Jones movies in the afternoon on December 21st-23rd. I think they also showed some animated movies around teatime as well on the same dates, so there might be a few changes to regular schedules from about mid week.

I think we may get a changed schedule on Friday but the rest of the week will probably be unchanged. Maybe a couple of comedy repeats like Only Fools or afternoon films between the News at One and Pointless.

Post your entries in this thread : Your first entry should be your guess for a Traditional Christmas cover (Please note entries that just say Santa Claus or Christmas Tree etc are not allowed, be as detailed as possible) Your second entry should be your guess for a cover that may feature a Specific TV (or Radio) Programme or Programmes or TV Star(s) (Again just the name of the programme/TV Star is not acceptable please give more detail) Please post your entry as follows : A) Your guess for a traditional cover B) Your guess for a specific programme(s) etc cover The winner will be either whoever gets it right or whoever I deem to be the closest!

Those of you who like to listen to special Christmas Radio stations might be interested in this report from the Radio Today website http://www.radiotoday.co.uk/2016/11/...ed-for-the-uk/
Also why do many Radio stations stop playing Christmas music on Boxing Day ? When I was younger I remember Radio stations playing Christmas music and jingles right up to New Years Day. |
