Does anybody know of a website or link to find the unofficial early terrestrial xmas listings. I doubt the schedules have been planned yet, but I think a rough listings guide may be released in the next couple of weeks when the daily newspapers will begin printing the early schedules probably at the end of November.

No I havent seen any listings yet - like you say it will probabaly be late November when the papers do their usual guess work of what will be on

ITV will probabaly have this on Christmas Day

6.00 GMTV
9.25 CITV
12.00 Religious Programme
12.50 ITV News
1.00 Film
3.00 Queens Speech

8.30 Who Wants to be a Millionaire Christmas Special

I think it would be good to have the Pop Idol finale on Christmas Day - could have Pop Idol at 6pm followed by Emmerdale at 7, then Corrie at 8 and the Pop Idol Results at 9pm!

All I have to say at this point is . . .

For Christ's Sake . . . STOP CALLING IT XMAS!

It's called Christmas, NOT Xmas, which makes the whole thing sound like the celebration of
an unpleasant itchy skin disorder! It's the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ, not Jesus X!

Yes...

For X's sake, stop it!

Perhaps he was talking of Christmas in the way Futurama does Wink

(see the episode entitled "X-mas story" - not an abbreviation the actual title. You'll see when you watch it!)

It hasn't been comfirmed yet, has it? They were planning it, but not confirmed. I wonder who will host it? Ant & Dec or maybe some other countries contestants. Was it supposed to be made for itv? Therefore will it be all contestants from around the world competiting on our show, or will it be simulcast around the world, eurovision styley?

Birth of Jesus Christ my arse. It's all about the food and presents.

All I want to know in respect to Christmas TV is what will BBC2 be doing overnight, ie. in Learning Zone downtime. I'm disappointed by the planned extension of LZ in the new year; if anything they should cut it back to five nights a week.
