Christmas is as much about gorging on food and spreading festive cheer as it is about sitting down in front of the telly, watching old comedies and Christmas day specials.
I don't know when this tradition started, but definitely sometime after I could read. I would sit down with the Radio Time's double issue, highlighting the programs I want to watch this Christmas. I know I'm not the only one who does this!
So this year I thought, since i'm doing Blogmas, I would share with you those programs I'm excited to watch. I may not have the same viewing taste as you, but I hope I manage to inform you on some tv crackers for you to watch this season. Happy viewing!
P.S - does anyone else always end up in conflict with a family member about what to watch?? I do - It's inevitable and wouldn't be Christmas without it!!
Saturday 23rd
BBC 1
8:55pm / Miranda - The last ever episode of Miranda!
BBC 2
8:30pm / Dad's Army - My Dad is a big fan so I expect he'll want to watch it. I do also find it quite funny (this conflicts with Miranda! I'll have to record one of them).
ITV
7:30pm / Ant & Dec...The Missing Crown Jewels - The hilarious weekly clips from Saturday Night Takeaway are put together to make a program. Mary Berry's in it. Enough said!
Channel 4
5:10pm / Gogglesprogs Christmas Special - I've never watched Gogglesprogs! It does sound good though, as children come out with the funniest things!
BBC 4
7:00pm / Stuffed: the Great British Christmas Dinner - Historians and food critics, including Prue Leith, look at traditional Christmas dinner to see how it can survive in our diverse culture as it is now. I love food, so this will be interesting.
Sky 1
12:15am / Michael Buble's Christmas in New York - I'll have to record this since it's on so early. I love a bit of Buble!
Sky Premiere
5:50pm / Hidden Figures - After Fabio read the book this film is based on, he's been raving about it, saying I should watch the film. Perhaps I will! It's a biographical drama about three black, female Nasa employees who contributed massively to the US Space Program back in the 60s.
Christmas Eve
BBC 1
7:00pm / Mary, Mel and Sue's Big Christmas Thank You - I'm really looking forward to seeing this trio back together. They'll be in the Rhondda Valley, organising a party at a community centre there. Mary will be cooking a roast!
8:30pm / Michael Mcintyre's Big Christmas Show - I've been following this show and will not miss an episode!
10:30pm / The Vicar of Dibley, The Christmas Lunch Incident - You all know this classic. I can watch it a million times and it never gets old! Hilarious.
BBC 2
5:45pm / Carols from Kings - It doesn't feel like Christmas until I hear the angel voices of the choir from Kings.
ITV
6:40pm / All Star Musicals - Celebrities trying to sing is always a good watch.
Channel 4
5:20pm / The Snowman - Makes me cry every time!
5:55pm / The Snowman and the Snowdog - see above!
8:00pm / Child Genius vs Celebrities Christmas Special - I love a good quiz at Christmas and I think this episode will prove hilarious.
Sky 1
6:00pm / Ratburger - An adaptation of David Walliam's book of the same name. Sheridan Smith will be starring in it, as well as other well-known faces.
Christmas Day
BBC 1
4:45pm / The Highway Rat - An animation narrated by Rob Brydon, based on the book by Julia Donaldson. I reckon it'll be one of those Christmas feel-good animations that'll make me cry!
10:30pm / 300 Years of French and Saunders - The comedy duo come together to look back at their years together, featuring some new comedy sketches.
BBC 2
5:30pm / The Queen - Most years we have the Queen's annual address on, even if it is just in the background.
Boxing Day
6:30pm / Snow Bears - A documentary is always needed at Christmas. This one is about two polar bear cubs who make a 400-mile treacherous journey. Tear-inducing, yet again.
8:00pm / Little Women - A new series based on the well-known classic.
BBC 2
10:00pm / QI - Fabio and I love a bit of QI, any day of the year!
ITV
10:15pm / Bird of a Feather - My Mum used to watch this comedy and I faintly remember watching it with her. It'll be interesting to see if this new episode is still as funny!
Wednesday 27th
Channel 4
9:00pm / Miranda Does Christmas - Like I said, I find Miranda hilarious. Any show of hers I'll be watching!
What are you most looking forward to watching this Christmas?
