One thing I was absolutely livid about last year was the showing of 'Home Alone 2: Lost in New York' on ITV, the film used to be shown on Channel 4 along with the first one but when ITV broadcast the second film last year they went and edited out my favourite scene from the film, when Marv gets electrocuted and briefly turns into a skeleton! A lot of people, including myself took to Twitter at the time expressing their disappointment that they had cut that bit out! But if you haven't seen that film Adam it's well worth a watch just for that one scene!😄😄😄

[@shockz16]

I watched yesterday evening can't remember which channel and yes they had cut that part out. I even pointed it out to the Mrs. They also trimmed down a lot of the other traps. Why bother even showing it if you're gonna edit out the best parts.

I'm only really looking forward to Weakest Link, Wallace And Gromit, and Gladiators on New Years Day if I'm honest. Though I’m definitely going to watch Beetlejuice on Christmas Eve, even though I've seen it many times before. I think part of the reason I'm excited about that is because it's in a post-watershed time slot, so thankfully my family will be spared my rant about channels getting the editing scissors out because of them showing 15 rated films in the early afternoon.

24:30 BBC4 is supposed to be changing to being used by the Beeb solely for repeats of vintage programming, with any new content they might previously have shown being aired by BBC2 instead, so this is probably part of that change.

I love BBC 4 as an arts channel, but that's a shrinking demographic, tragically. There is so much in the BBC archives...I would love to see any surviving Quatermass series, for example.

[@shockz16]

Absolute dog shit! Repeats, repeats and more repeats with a good sprinkling of the same handful of films we get every year. Streaming services really have killed off terrestrial tv. It's not even scraping the barrel, it's scraping the last dregs of butter out the tub and it's got mixed in burnt toast crumbs from the previous scraper. 😂 I couldn't give a rats ass about Gavin & Stacy so literally the only thing new of interest for me personally is the new Wallace & Gromit. When they are repeating things from the same day you know they have piss all to put on.

[@friendlyotaku9525]

Yeah, the BBC EASILY wins this Christmas. I mean Doctor Who, Wallace & Gromit, Call the Midwife, EastEnders, Gavin and Stacey, Outnumbered. Pretty much something for everyone on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, how could any channel compete with THAT? Honestly I don't blame the other channels for just not trying this year, all the BIG and exciting shows are on BBC One! And I think it also goes to show how important the BBC is as a cultural British institution and British TV just wouldn't be the same without it.

[@thomasacratopulo8114]

Zulu is definitely seen as a Christmas/Boxing Day by some, particularly of the older generation. Maybe becuase its such a classic film and gets repeated a lot around this time of year? Couldn't tell you myself.

Once again the BBC demonstrates it’s importance to the British television industry. It has offerings that are unrivalled not only by other channels but by the big streamers too. One critique I do have though (and this goes for ITV too) is the post-Watershed soaps. This could end up being a moot point as I haven’t seen the episodes, but often they seem to write the script and then decide the scheduling long afterwards. If EastEnders is on after 9 then it deserves to have a much grittier script that reflects the reduced restrictions. If recent years are anything to go by it won’t. Seems a wasted opportunity to show people the soaps aren’t old and stale.

[@DavidCarrol-i2q]

This year's is man size in marble by Edith Nezbit (a classic story if you ask me even if it isn't M.R. James) so I've got high hopes. A ghost story for Christmas is the one thing I insist on watching on Christmas eve, I just love those cosy spooky stories. If it's on I highly recommend catching the exorcism too. It's available on KZbin if it's not on TV this year.

[@areasquirrel]

Essay time. * The Christmas episodes of mystery shows are all lined up nicely for Mum - Sister Boniface, Madame Blanc, Death in Paradise, Beyond Paradise. * Stereotypical 'stick it on for your Grandad' stuff, Zulu. I remember QI once going over how, for all the mainstream talk and jokes about The Great Escape, it actually hasn't been on that often. Bit of 70s-stalgia by the media? The older movies are a bit of a Yule Log, stick 'em on with mute for some filler in the corner when the extended family are round. That's my memories of those on Boxing Day, sorry, St. Stephen's Day for the Irish out there. 😉 Then turn off the telly for the serious business - boys v. girls quiz! * Sometimes the Alternative Message is pastiche in nature - The Simpsons in 2004, famously. Adam Hills doing a poem about London 2012, I remember - sometimes it's deadly serious - the notorious Deepfaked Queen from a few years ago, Stephen Fry last year reflecting on the impact of recent events and the horrible behaviour here springing from those events - so it'll be interesting to see which way this year goes. * The Great Pottery Throw Down - essential viewing with Siobhan McSweeney hosting. Bit like C4 daytime quiz 1001 Things You Should Know, the actual quiz was terrible, but Sandi Toksvig hosted it, so I'm tuning in. * Mrs. Brown is an Irish icon, Brits trashing it is considered a personal attack around these parts... 😉 No, not really, but come on, let's all be nice. Put it this way: do you see us crapping on Gavin and Stacey? Adam has the right approach: Don't like, dont watch. Sadly 'social' media has changed that to: 'don't like, don't watch, call anyone who does like it stupid, try to get it cancelled so only what you like is allowed anymore, and if they don't like what you like that's unforgivable and must be punished.' That all said, as a fan, I must admit it's better live nowadays, the TV show is in its Simpsons phase now: it's there, it's fine, but it's not as good as it used to be. The point about 'a long gone age' is a fair one, the character of Agnes Brown is over 30 years old and like Father Ted - don't start, Britain, in Ireland itself you *do* speak those two in the same sentence - was created in the 90s as a send up of very Irish cultural ideas from, as you say, a bygone time. Compare, if you can find it, to the movie based on the original books and radio series, starring Anjelica Huston (no, really!) as Mrs. Brown. It's played as a drama, rather than a comedy, and it's a very different experience. If you’re in that club that gets the feel, especially if you've got Irish in the blood, it's gold. That's missing in parts of Britain, which just leaves a 70s bad taste in the mouth if that applies to you. Doesn't help that Brendan O'Carroll's standup back then was of the straight-to-video, 'Too Hot for TV' variety. I steered clear of the live shows expecting it to be like that, but I prefer the TV show because it's watered down enough for me to enjoy it. * Movies. Of course, one must make time for The Snowman, Father Christmas and Home Alone on Channel 4. I see ITV has pinched the second movie from them. I remember a couple of times in recent years, C4 announcers would 'apologise' to viewers when they showed it, all but giving them a content warning about a certain someone's appearance... 😏 I'll fire up the streamers for Miracle on 34th Street, along with Matilda and Mrs. Doubtfire, the other 2 which featured the 'other' big child star of the 90s, Mara Wilson. I loved her blog where each post would end with her stringing words together to create a plausible sounding title for a BBC show. And of course, you must put on - at some point, doesn't have to be on the big day if you haven't got room, but some time during the week - The Muppet Christmas Carol. That's an order. For other versions, we also like Patrick Stewart's version, and Kelsey Grammer's musical version. For more non-festive staples in our house, Back to the Future, Galaxy Quest, Cool Runnings, Blackbeard's Ghost, Who Framed Roger Rabbit. * Finally, on RTE there's a carol service on Christmas Eve in prime time. Time warp, anyone? I'm catching that because of Marty Whelan, Ireland's Eurovision host, on hosting duties. I met him in 2013, absolute class act. If Wallace and Gromit wasn't there, BBC1 would still have won easily, with Nicola Coughlan bringing brand new eyes to Doctor Who, including her own, amusingly enough. She is a one woman hit machine. I mean, it's almost embarrassing how stacked One is this year. Strictly, Doctor Who, Wallace and Gromit, Gavin and Stacey, EastEnders, Mrs. Brown. "Stop it, he's already dead!" ITV have just surrendered already. Emmerdale and Coronation Street, and that's it. I've not seen such a one-sided contest for years. Cracking lineup, Gromit!

[@neilgodwin6531]

Some random thoughts - Repeating on the same day, when most people can time shift programmes simply by recording them seems so 1970s. Stephen Fry is always a win, so I'll probably watch that. I love Bake Off, so that's a definite to watch. People clearly still enjoy it, since it has a spin-off, Extra Slice, with Jo Brand, Tom Allen plus other celebs, the fees for whom will be hefty. Channel 4 wouldn't commission the spin-off if the original wasn't hugely popular. It just doesn't have the hype of Strictly or ITV 'talent' shows. Ironically, no Countdown on 4. Mastermind, Only Connect and UC are the usual Monday night fare for me, so the usual, but with 'celebs'. I love these quizzes. It's refreshing to see b&w classic films on the BBC. Today's viewers are usually deprived of classics like Citizen Kane, Casablanca, and so on, though the success of the Talking Pictures channel on Sky shows how popular they still are amongst film 'buffs' like me, so seeing some old films on mainstream TV will be a real education to those raised on Die Hard, Harry Potter and the MCU. Though Rocky Horror isn't b&w it's a genuine classic, and I'll be struggling not to join in 'Time Warp' and 'Hot Patootie'. My neighbours might not be fans. For those of us of 'a certain age', Morecambe and Wise WERE Christmas. Genuine family entertainment, and screamingly funny. Ghostbusters Afterlife isn't as funny as the original, but seeing the surviving original cast, and a CGI Harold Ramis (Egon) genuinely brought tears to my eyes. No to Gavin and Stacey. I used to enjoy it, but James Corden's recent behaviour has ruined it for me. It's good to see so much praise, not just from AMTV, for the BBC schedule. There's an organised anti- BBC campaign on social media, and the Beeb needs our support now, more than ever. For the first time in years, I am genuinely excited to see the schedules. Happy Xmas 🎉
