The Christmas TV Thread

Like Only Fools and Horses it should have been left at it's original ending. The Queen of Sheeba was The Royle Family at it's best. Last years episode was the show at it's absolute worst.

Agatha Christie's Poirot on Christmas Day that is the BEST there can come up with? I hope STV will opt out !

Come on now, these aren't finalised yet - programmes are sure to shuffle round - they just want to see what other broadcasters are offering.

Quite surprised ITV havent gone with Dancing on Ice again on Christmas Day - did it not rate that well last year due to being up againt what BBC1 had?

PS I wonder if ITV's 6.30pm TBA might be Harry Hill?

Either TV Burp or You've Been Framed Christmas special.

7.30pm BBC2 Christmas Eve is normally filled up to 9pm by Steve Wright and TOTP2.

Not The Nine O'Clock News on Christmas Day eh? I hope it's a new compilation not another rerun of the 1995 lot, still it looks the like the best thing on for me over Christmas.

The Double Radio Times will be out soon-ish with any luck.

I do wonder what STV will be using to fill up the 8 hours or so drop shows

Its out on Saturday 5th

One advert that has not been shown on television or (to my knowledge) mentioned in this thread is the famous Irn Bru 'Walking in the air' parody advert. I wonder whether it will be shown this year?

Funny you should say that because I just saw it for the first time today during This Morning.
