I feel the BBC and ITV might even do as the US networks do, air their Christmas specials before 25th, and just fill Christmas week with cheap filler, movies and repeats.

I have seen the Christmas Day schedules for NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox in recent years, and they are appalling - no attempt at all to put in new programming, its Christmas movies, sport on Christmas Day and repeats of Christmas specials usually done by most affiliates, with late night simply being repeats of the previous weeks talks shows.

I hope the UK broadcasters don't go down that path
