I really don't know why the papers bother - but the first Christmas TV Guides are appearing today.

Plenty still 'To be arranged', but The History Boys, 9pm Christmas Day, BBC2, is supposed to be quite good. Elsewhere, same old, same old - Three Men and a Baby is on again , Casper is on again as is Home Alone 2. Terminator 2 is on a couple of days after Christmas, which is always worth watching :thup:

The Motorcycle Diaries is on though, typically at the same time as The History Boys, so will probably tape that.

Shocking ! I will be back at Xmas, generally enjoy watching TV but prefer watching those "Top 100 this or that" shows and various satelite channels

Films are generally rubbish, i find and i never bother watching ITV, never seems to be anything on

Christmas tv really is shocking now, much worse than your average week night.

Indeed.

So far the only certain viewing is Match of the Day on Boxing Day and Christmas Day Corrie (Everyone else will want to watch it, I may as well not bother trying to avoid it).

A few years back, Five Live had an awesome '100 best sporting moments of the century', between Christmas and New Year. That was excellent, and it would be good if they do something similar.

Tbf, those films are on because they have become a type of Christmas tradition. Both the Gremlins movies will be on too, probably on Christmas Eve. Looking forward more to the Hogmanay TV, Chewin' The Fat and Only An Excuse please.
