Ok time to call a halt to my very unsucessful 'guess the mistake' competition.
The 1st prize was a set & graphics relaunch of BBC News 24, but sadly no-one won, so I'm going to have to tell you the answer..

Now, bearing in mind I was (on Friday afternoon when I set it) only going on the listings posted on the BBCi press office web-site - and I'm guessing this would have since been corrected..

BBC One, Saturday 27th December, 09.00am - The Saturday Show.

Eh, I thought Dick & Dom had got this gig until April? Maybe the schedulers know something that Cbbc don't!

Wht don't you invest in something like Digiguide if you really can't wait for your local shop to get the double issue of Inside Soap on the shelves. Surely you don't plan your holiday viewing that far in advance!

I dont have digiguide - I prefer to have a copy of a tv guide.

Thanks for that, I dont plan my viewing that far in advance, although I know I will watch Corrie on Xmas Day.

Im just interested in what ITV1 will be showing, in particular ITV1 Wales.

Keeping with the now increasingly dominant theme of regional news, has no region EVER had regional news on Christmas Day, on either ITV or BBC?

I got my copy of the Radio Times today, when I went into the supermarket they had just taken a delivery of all the tv guides and I asked her if I could have a Radio Times, she wasnt going to give me it at first as apparently they are NOT to go on sale until next week, but I persuaded her to give me a copy when I said id try elsewhere. I dont know why they dont put them on sale now, in previous years they have always been out, and it says they should be on sale nationwide by December 9th

Have brought my copy of What's On TV today and I must say the schedules look much more better than last year, especially on ITV1, for the first time in years there's not a repeat on ITV1 during any prime time slots, and their decision to put The Grinch, a decent movie premiere on Boxing day, could give BBC1 a run for it's money, and Christmas Eve and Day looks pretty good on ITV1 too, with a Beckham doc on Christmas eve and World Idol on Christmas night. I was very surpirised to see Tommorow Never Dies on Christmas day afternoon at 3.10pm, I thought they might put on an old classic, like they have done on New Year's Day afternoon with Moonraker, this has got to be ITV1's best performance in years, anyone agree, for once...

Yes I agree. I am amazed and delighted with the number of films being shown on BBC1 this Christmas, an average of 6 or 7 films on many of the days, most of which are premieres too.

Tommorow Never Dies at 3:10pm? I bet they are cutting it to bits as we speak at ITV1 Towers! I am sure the ITV censors are the only people who know their jobs are safe!
