I think the early Christmas schedules will be appearing in the papers on Thursday 29th November and the confirmed schedules coming out the first week in December.
I agree the BBC definatley need to scrap the diy/auction shows over Christmas and I hope BBC2 doesn't repeat the same old documentaries in the mornings as well such as Animal Park and Pole to Pole to name a couple. I want the BBC to treat us this Christmas.
As a fan of the old films, I would love for BBC2 to show a decent movie season as well, how about an Alfred Hitchcock season or Christmas musicals season or something along those lines.
Somehow though, I've got a gut feeling Cash in the Attic and Animal Park are going to dominate the daytime schedules this Christmas though

Next week I think its due with the confirmed schedules from the 5th.
EDIT: Obviously the above post from Digiguide is where I get that assumption from, I could be wrong.

Last year one paper - The Sun I think - didn't even bother with "TBA Listings" and just put a general preview in instead.
Issues start coming out earlier on Saturday (8-14 Dec), with the next one on Thursday 6 Dec (15-21 Dec) and then presumably the Christmas one (22 Dec - 4 Jan) on Tuesday 11 Dec - "or even sooner"
The truth is though that due to the nature of Christmas viewing in the last few years and how apart from Christmas Day itself it's pretty much business as usual with a splasing of tinsel, getting the Christmas TV guide isn't the event it used to be!

Yep, here we go...
Press Release: An unmissable Christmas this year on BBC Television
- Not like it used to be but still looks promising with To The Manor Born, Extras and a few new film premieres.

After the year TV has had in general you'd think the BBC would have learnt that branding a fairly "missable" Christmas line-up as "unmissable" isn't the best idea.
The days of there being several treats to look forward to at Christmas are long gone, though in recent years there's still been one or two highlights worth watching out for over the period.
Absolutely nothing in that line-up jumps out as "unmissable" to me though. I guess I'll be putting a few more DVDs on my list for Santa then!
P.S. Talking of which, considering all the fakery and deception exposed this year will Blue Peter even dare to hire an actor to play Santa this year?
