I thought ITV were planning to put that Ant and Dec Special on Christmas Day? I can't see that anywhere. And although dramas like Poirot do very well for ITV even on an ordinary weeknight, I was expecting them to come up with something slightly more festive for the 9pm slot.
Shouldn't the "big guns" be rolled out on Christmas Day itself though? I don't know where that schedule posted above came from, but it seems odd that they would swap Catherine Tate and Victoria Wood round - IIRC the Tate show was listed as being on Christmas Eve in the provisionals and Wood was - rightly so - in the main 9pm timeslot on Christmas Day. They're both great but compared Wood is much more of a "big gun" in terms of quality.
Victoria Wood's going to be on Christmas Eve, I think. You don't want to overload Christmas Night with stuff and it's probably better it goes out in primetime on another night than at half ten or something on Christmas Day. That'd just be a waste.

- apart from one or two I think the TV will be staying firmly off.
