Fun fact: 2008 was not only the last time Wallace & Gromit had a Christmas Day premiere, but also the last time EastEnders had two Christmas Day episodes.

Surprising lack of films on Christmas day for Ch5. I suppose like you said, they know they can't really compete much with BBC and ITV, especially when a much anticipated Wallace and Gromit film is coming on. Looks like they're making up for it on Boxing day though!

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!😄😄😄

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. Hopefully it won't follow ITV 3 and start showing "Classic" Eastenders, but there was a soap called United about a football team that intrigues me

They'll have a bit of a job getting new viewers for BBC4 if they just use it mainly as a channel for vintage programmes. It would probably have worked 10 years ago for that but they'll find it very difficult now with well-established channels like Talking Pictures TV that have a decently sized and dedicated audience for bygone TV.

I wonder if the BBC still retain the repeat rights to the first 20 odd years of Neighbours, because Classic Neighbours might work as a a way of bringing in viewers of my age range (early 40s).

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.

The ghost story for Christmas have been BBC2 for the last few years with repeats of the older 70s ones on BBC4. 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.

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.

Reason why Corrie is on late at 8.45pm is this idea of defensive scheduling by the UK channels. They are aware of people who enjoy watching all the big soaps back to back. So they organise the schedule in a way that facilitates that it's why. Emmerdale 7pm-7.30 ITV EastEnders 7.45pm-8.15pm BBC Coronation Street 8.45pm - 9.15pm ITV Those who watch Hollyoaks anyway watch via All 4 as they already have all the eps over Christmas available for viewers to watch in own time. Not a problem. That's why soaps are always on a weird times and especially during Christmas. It's to accommodate those who watch all of them. It also supports both channels not losing viewers to the rival channel because one soap might have a bigger story arch for example.

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 🎉

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!

Home Alone 2 is definitely a Christmas movie. Ghostbusters Afterlife was pretty miserable to watch. Also way too many Shrek movies this Christmas. One is bad enough. 😆

Afterlife was sad, CGI Harold Ramis brought tears to my eyes, but ultimately, I enjoyed it, and Paul Rudd never makes a bad movie. I won't be watching Home Alone 2, especially if they include that cameo of the Orange Ghost of the White House

Hey Adam. A great video and yeah BBC1 definitely wins (and bbc2 isn’t bad either). One thing I don’t want to say though. The ‘why do we do this’ about Mrs Brown’s Boys or even the slight ‘the bbc have to do religion’ as if it really shouldn’t really be ther (Christmas is about religion!). Of course there are things you don’t like but the broadcasters have to appeal to everyone. Personally, I think Doctor Who is rubbish, but I don’t moan about it or think it shouldn’t be there. For those that like it great, I can go and watch something else. Same goes for the religious stuff or Mrs Brown.

I was just thinking it was a bad Christmas for BBC One, at least for me, even if in terms of popularity it likely will do well. It was possibly not the time in my life where I would get into Gavin and Stacey when it first came out and I'm assuming I am still unlikely to get into it seeing as it seems to be one of those shows which you ''have to like'', and Outnumbered isn't funny! It's true I am looking forward to Wallace and Gromit and Doctor Who but the traditional main UK channels all have their pros and cons.
