There is a way to avoid Doctor Who:
BBC ONE 6.45pm EASTENDERS - Episode one 7.15pm DOCTOR WHO 8.15pm THE GREEN GREEN GRASS - XMAS SPECIAL 9.15pm EASTENDERS - Episode two ITV 1 5.45pm EMMERDALE Hour long 6.45pm WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE? 7.45pm Creature Comforts 8.15pm CORONATION STREET Hour long 9.15pm THE BOOZE CRUISE |

Any word on the repeats? Hopefully BBC3 will repeat both EE eps at 10pm. Will certainly save me setting the VCR on Christmas morning.

I have to say though if this does happen BBC3 will have completely gone to pot - BBC3 News and the EastEnders repeats are both regular viewing for me, so if they both go there will be little else I watch on there. The best show they have IMO is Two Pints and they've resorted to putting it into repeat overdrive at the moment. I'm not entirely convinced the EastEnders repeats are going yet though - i'll believe it when I see it. I've not seen any written confirmation of this from the BBC and it's regularly BBC3's top rated show of the night so I just can't see it myself. |

The controller of BBC THREE said to The Dailly Mirror's TV land that 'WE ARE CONCONTRATING ON NEW SHOWS' or something like that - and it wasnt a 'SOURCE' it gave his name. Two pints is what i watch aswell - they go mad on repeats!

One thing all the TV channels can be sure of, none of the shows will clash with the "festive celebrations". Haven't believed in Father Christmas since I was 7, and now, 7 years later, the festivities for some time have been: get up at usual time, go down, don't eat breakfast, open prezzies, say thank you, get pissed on all the mulled wine, get told off by parents, play with/assemble/use presents, watch TV for the rest of the day.
LOL!

"So there IS no Father Christmas?" My stuttering parents told me that Father Christmas had been called off suddenly and had given the presents to them to put under the tree. I said: "Do I look like I'm stupid to you?" and walked back up to bed. My twin sisters, then aged 4, came down, saw what the fuss was about, and gasped at the sight of our con artist parents and cried: "You tricked us!" before running back up to my room to bitch about them for the rest of the night!! But don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, and I still get that warm tingly feeling when I wake up in the morning! TV, presents, and extortionate amounts of food, here I come!

Maybe this is the logic by the BBC... The best ratings the BBC3 repeat gets is on the day of a soap clash. So perhaps the BBC want to avoid any future embarassment from losing these clashes with Emmerdale by removing the BBC3 repeat so that soap viewers have no choice but to relent and watch EE on BBC1 and then catch Emmerdale later on ITV2. Therefore, BBC1 wins the soap clash and no more embarassing ratings losses. Either way, still stupid IMO. BBC3 can't fill the schedule with many "new shows" as things are. But now they hope to trial some by taking off one of it's most successful ones instead of replacing some of the endless repeats. It's a joke that this channel wants to extend it's hours ![]() Cheers for the info anyhow.

I am still wondering why it couldn't be Victoria flipping Sugden who falls down the mine shaft with Daz, and why it couldn't be Gnome that Jimmy runs over instead of Tricia's tree. Ah well. Can't always have what we want in life.

She's just so immature for her age. My sisters are the same age as her and you'd think they were a thousand years older lol, and they're not even very mature!!! |

All times are GMT. The time now is 13:50.



It's Christmas Day - everyone will be watching telly that day so there's no reason to be concerned...

Probably to something like this.
