Totally silly but it is enjoyable

Oh dear not a good one.
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.

Or ripped it to shreds.... lol

I think that it is sad that TV, especially the awful ITV, is essentially all normal until 1-2 days before. I remember when growing up the build up would be essentially from 1st December onwards, not that I watch much TV on the day itself, I do wish it was like it was back then where you felt we were all in it together properly. Then again ITV is only about reality zzzzzzz TV these days so it isn't a shock really

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

Daytime will be business as usual from 6 am to 6pm if 2010 is anything to go by.

Last year BBC One went with Christmas programmes on Wednesday 23rd during the day

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.

Which bits do you think looked poor? it looked fine to me.

Repeats or a new season?

Just a repeat.

I meant the last time Christmas fell on a Sunday was 2010. And they had normal schedules right up to Fri Dec 23.

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.

Well there's going to be some changes to daytime to fit these in!

9.15 Operation Christmas
10.00 Homes Under the Hammer
11.00 Christmas Kitchen
12.15 Bargain Hunt

When do schools break up in your area? Hers its the 16th this year but next year its not until the 22nd

I'd have thought Christmas kitchen would just replace Saturday kitchen

There are 10 episodes of Christmas Kitchen to be shown in BBC Daytime so Monday to Friday for two weeks.

Tuesday 20th December for most around here but Friday 15th December in 2017!

i remember something similar to that a couple of years a go it was shown in the afternoon about 2 o'clock

Just checked Christmas Kitchen with James Martin was on usually 3.30pm daily for the two weeks before Christmas in 2013 and at 3,40pm in 2014

WHY ARE YOU SHOUTING? lol!!!

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.
