[Kim Wexler’s Ponytail]

Almost as if they were saying "We haven't much to look at this Christmas, but as other channels have started Christmas, we'll do so too."

Well, they wouldn't be wrong.

How many of these "new" shows just happen to air at Christmas? Call The Midwife, Blankety Blank etc - all programmes where regular series have only just finished up or are starting again soon. 

Eh? That’s how it’s always been. The Royal Family wrapped up just weeks before their first 2 Christmas specials. One foot in the grave and only fools would sometimes have Christmas specials followed by a regular series a week or two later. I’m not sure what you actually want? Is TV supposed to shut down between August and December?

Sometimes I get the impression some posters don’t even know what point they’re they’re trying to make, they just want to complain about something. Anything.
