The Christmas TV Thread 2012

Seeing as Littlewoods just debuted its Christmas advert for this year I guess it's time for the thread.

Any big shows for christmas day?

I'm sure Nana Pat is making plans as we speak!

This is a good site to keep up to date with Christmas TV.

I know that Miranda, Mrs Brown's Boys, Call The Midwife, Doctor Who, Take Me Out and All Star Family Fortunes will have Christmas specials. So far Channel 4 have announced their Christmas line-up.

From the look of that press release, there seems to be a lot of effort out into Channel 4 Christmas schedule. I'm guessing we won't see any Christmas pres from them again this year.
Though it would be nice if they could theme something around the snowman, with it being the big programme, and also a 30th anniversary celebration for the channel in a way.

Thinking back to 2004, was the original no Christmas pres that year because they wanted to focus on other religions as well, and had programmes showing this, or have I had a strange dream?

Too soon.

I actually rather like that Coca Cola advert (apart from the music that is).
Confused.com shooting themselves in the foot as per day.

Nice to see the Coca Cola truck back (if only briefly!)

I love it, music spoils it slightly.

David Walliams said this to Rob Brydon today.

"You ruined our BBC Christmas trail shoot today. Well done. Why must there be tears every time we meet...?"

Sky 1's Trollied and Mount Pleasant are both having Christmas episodes. They are also bringing back Little Crackers, but for some reason they're extending it to 30 minutes, rather negating the "Little" part of the name.
