Christmas Telly 2008

Top Of The Pops will be on at Christmas after all!!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7738180.stm

They're going to start showing the full advert this weekend.

Does anybody know when some channels will start showing Christmas trailers and when their Christmas pres will debut?

Was going to say, I've been seeing short snippets of it in some breaks.

Yes it was shown on UTV on Sunday night during the last break of I'm a Celebrity.

cylon, think bbc1 is going to start xmas campaign 1st dec...new idents won't be on till a bit later...

I would hope the idents are kept back rather than being aired for a full week before Christmas as last year - my bet would be Sat 20th Dec.

Will Snowball and Penguins return to accompany the new ident?

I agree, that's when I would debut the idents, it just seems that it's the right amount of time before Christmas.

According to insiders, it's new idents this Christmas and Penguins and Snowball won't be returning.

But isn't Northern Ireland's Coke advertising come from Coke Ireland rather than the UK, as when they where showing the 'Scary Santa ad here, they showed it with the 'Holidays are Coming' music there?

Not for a while yet, there are another 3 issues of the TV guides to come out yet before the Christmas special.

Next Tuesday will be the last week the TV guides go on sale on their usual day, it was get earlier from the next issue.

New idents with Santa Claus (Apparently..)

There's going to be a series of programmes with Peter Kay on Channel 4 this Christmas.
