You couldn't even pay me to sit through soaps at Christmas. I don't need melodrama with my food and presents.
I looked in the TV magazine and ITV doesn't have a decent schedule the entire xmas week. They put no effort into things. BBC 1 at least put a bit of effort into it, but BBC 2 isn't looking strong and there's still not enough specials. I think most people will just watch DVDs ok alough ill probably watch the doggie programme. |

I see ITV have already starting trailing 2017 programmes, so even they know their Xmas schedules are a pile of poo.

The post you 'agreed' with was off topic to begin with, so don't play that card. |

Christmas Day on BBC1 looks dire this year, come on 'Christmas Bake off' ? Mrs Brown's Boys and Doctor Who? all poular, but I can't help but notice that quality is not a requirement now. reality TV is now omnipotent and theres no going back. I am just glad I grew up in a time when well written comedy and drama were still on TV. Before anyone says I am looking through rose tinted specs, which i may well be, just look at the schedules and ask yourself honestly if Xmas TV is decent. Doctor who, call the Midwife, and Mrs Brown's boys are on every year. Lazy scheduling.

Seems they can't win, if they put on popular programmes which lots will watch then it is "lazy scheduling". I haven't see the schedule yet (Digiguide would have had it by now in the past but poor now) but sure there will be plenty of interest. What exactly do you want on over Christmas? |

How about a decent ghost story or a season of Laurel & Hardy classic films & shorts? I'd also love to see the Buster Crabbe Flash Gordon/Buck Rogers adventures again, after a gap of many years.
As for ITV, they've lost their way big time. Too much chasing the LCD and dumbing down to the nth degree. They're target demographic these days seems to be the same as The Sun newspaper - ie. people with a reading age of 11 and a similar size IQ. I can go whole weeks without finding a single thing worth watching on ITV1 and 2. |

ITV don't have a decent schedule for the other 51 weeks of a year, so why would Christmas be any different?

Digiguide's had the outline schedule for a couple of weeks and it was confirmed last Tuesday.
