The Lion King was an excelent film for Christmas Day not ITV, as was Frozen for BBC1. POG Dogs was the only thing I watched live bar TLK.
I think I'd rather next year BBC and ITV kept dramas off the main day, and just showed films and LE. |

I don't expect there's going to be anything on the main channels that I want to watch and I wasn't disappointed
Only University Challenge on BBC2 Apart from that I've been flicking the documentary channels and had a few things on about Ancient Egypt and the Bible History but I've mainly been on here most of the day............. |

I thought it was mostly crap....... spent a lot of time on social media posting even more crap.
I was looking forward to watching the film Dallas Buyers Club........ but by the time it started i was too pissed to follow it. |

dire...... it comes to something when the three main soaps dominate the evenings with hour long specials.
i ended up watching Dallas box set.... where was the family entertainment? films? ok but you can see them any time of the year. i used to really enjoy mike yardwood followed by morcame and wise - good, new, all round family fun. and wheres the xmas ghost story that used to be on late?.. they just dont seem to make an effort anymore, theres all year to watch soaps, crimbo episodes are often naff.. the point is that if you dont like soaps and many dont, it knocks a huge hole in your crimbo night viewing. |

Christmas tv has been rubbish for a few years.
Why anyone wants hour long special soaps of depressing and shouting idiots is beyond me. |

As usual, dire.
I watched a few DVDs of my "Justified," box set. Annoyed my wife a bit by playing some Christmas tunes on my electric piano. She said she was sick of Christmas by Christmas morning. |

Was out for lunch at a local carvery with family which didn't finish until after five!
Later when I got home I watched my recordings of The Queen then Frozen in two parts around Christmas University Challenge, which I watched live.. (Although I'm getting on, I thought I should watch Frozen as I have never seen it and it gets talked about quite a lot! Apparently it's the highest grossing animated film ever. Enjoyed it a lot.) |

Would a new comedy play by Stoppard/Ayckbourn/Godber have been enjoyed by anyone?

Utter crap in all honesty and have done for quite a few years now. I'm not a fan of any the big entertainment shows so I don't like the Christmas Day line up in general as its nothing I would normally watch. I only watched POGDogs, Call The Midwife and The Good Old Days. Had radio 2 on all day apart from that!

Eastenders was wonderful, not sensationalist, it was warm, nostalgic, and cheerful, everyone in the pub sing songs etc.. Dot's Xmas eve story was hard hitting, raw and emotional and above all real and made you think of the elderly this time of year.
If you are a fan of 80s Eastenders go watch xmas eve and xmas day episodes on i player. |

I've often laughed at those who complain about the festive schedule, but we had to get the DVD's out this year. It was just far too many channels of far too little.
