Motherland moves to BBC One for their Christmas Special.    I thought it may be a bit too niche for BBC One, but it has been another cult favourite.

I assume it's the last episode, they're not planning on making another series

I've seen Christmas House of Games listed as being on BBC1 on Boxing Day at 7pm. Surprising given how it has flopped there before.

The BBC1 version was a different format and on later in the evening. Boxing Day at 7 is different to Friday night at 8 or whenever it was on

It's not what people want on BBC1 though.

TOTP has suffered from not being a fixture all year round (which could still work) and being underpromoted. The absence of live action films on Christmas Day on BBC1 which would be watched by older viewers (teenagers upwards) hasn't helped it either.
