Wonder if Boxing Day will be soap free, landing on a Sunday.

Hopefully BBC One won't put out the Eastenders omnibus in the afternoon. Very Happy

There is a Paul O'Grady Christmas Show already in the can I believe, for Christmas Eve on ITV1.

Nope - Victoria Wood was definitely moved to Christmas Eve.

So with EastEnders on Boxing Day I can see it leading into Indiana Jones.

I agree, definitely below standard for some reason. There was a whole hoo-ha or something at the time, apparently the BBC suits promised her the big Christmas Day slot and then moved it (presumably because of its poorness) without telling her. I've no idea whether that's true or not...

Except St. Stephen's Day is the 26th December every year. It's moved to the next working day via Royal Proclamation, as Sunday has to be a day of worship.

These might change ?

Can't see The Cube going out at 20:00 on Christmas Day, that's a slot for Corrie I'd have thought.

Benidorm Christmas Special at 21:00 would probably put it against The Royle Family on BBC One ?

At least ITV aren't offering virtually exactly the same line up as they've offered for the last few years, unlike the BBC.

So how pathetically early do we think the Christmas idents will arrive on the BBC this year. Saturday 18th December the obvious option, but were they not even earlier than that last year?
