Obviously, I'll wait for the detail and the reality of the shows rather than the publicity, but it doesn't bode well when a repeat from Week 51 (of the Christmas special of Not Going Out) is billed as a highlight of Week 52/1.


Yes, you often find they tend to sneakily repeat these specials within the same period! Usually whats on at Christmas gets repeated at the end of the year...or in "clearance" if we're talking shop terms.

Personally, I think it's an insult to viewers.

(It was a bit ridiculous, decades ago, though, to have repeats of Christmas specials in the summer schedules.)

If a show's good enough, it can be repeated in the run up to next Christmas.

I wonder why Still Game is treated with such disdain by the BBC (England) ? You'd think that Christmas special- it's a new episode- would be on a date nearer to Christmas. 15 December indeed.

As expected I think, but there is a "Christmas Listings" guide in The Sun at least tomorrow.

Am I the only one hoping it's not an on-the-(half)hour schedule again this year?

No, but I think we'll still be in base, eighties marketing malarkey mode.

Interesting line up. Relying on the simpsons and friends a bit therem it would be nice if every episode was Christmas related though.

Wasn't there a time when the countdown final used to be on Christmas day??

With there 25th year, it would have been nice to see some of the Christmas specials from the many years gone by, the Christmas documentaries etc. Though I suppose the simpsons will get more viewers!
