ITV schedule appears to be confirmed: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/soaps/sc...ules-2009.html

Based on the fact ITV has soaps on from 18:00 to 20:00, I won't be surprised if the above is actually quite close to legit.

Having read lots of other comments on here relating to Eastenders and Doctor Who, I thought there were going to be 2 x EE (sandwiching DW) and the DW was going to be 75 minutes?

that seems unlikely at the moment, but the 2nd episode of Doctor Who is 75 minutes, the first being 60 minutes

Thanks for clarifying. As I have said in a previous post, it won't be long until we know and then we can see who was closest with their predictions

no problem far too much false information around at the moment, for anyone to get a good read

Great news, DigiGuide has just updated the Christmas listings with a revised draft schedule, which looks pretty much confirmed. How is this for a U turn, BBC Two is now looking ''fantastic'' this Christmas with lots of old films being shown both during the day and overnight and the pre Christmas schedule looks a lot better on BBC Two with morning films making a welcome return. That e-mail to George Dixon may have done the trick after all!

Here are the new schedules for Christmas Day:

BBC One:
6.00am Breakfast
9.15 Ingenious
10.15 Christmas Day Eucarist
11.15 The Sarah Jane Adventures
12.10pm BBC News
12.25 FILM: The Santa Clause. 1994
2.00 Top of the Pops Christmas Special
3.00 The Queen's Speech
3.10 FILM: The Incredibles. 2004
4.55 Shrek the Halls
5.20 BBC News
5.30 The Gruffalo
6.00 Doctor Who
7.00 Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special
8.00 EastEnders
9.00 The Royle Family: The Golden Eggcup
10.00 Gavin and Stacey Christmas Special
10.30 Catherine Tate: Nan's Christmas Carol
11.30 On Christmas Night
11.35 The National Lottery: Euro Millions Draw
11.45 FILM: Speed. 1994
1.35am Weatherview
1.40 BBC News 24

BBC Two:
6.00am CBBC
8.30 Great Railway Journeys
9.20 FILM: Heidi. 2005
11.00 The Star of Bethlehem
12.00pm 10 Best Sacred Christmas
1.00 FILM: Kiss Me Kate. 1953
2.45 FILM: White Christmas. 1954
4.40 FILM: La Boheme. 1993
6.30 The Private Life of a Christmas Masterpiece
7.20 The Queen's Speech. Rpt.
7.30 Dad's Army
8.00 James May's Toy Stories
9.00 The Blackadder. Rpt.
9.30 Top Gear
10.30 Oz Drinks to Christmas
11.30 The Funny Side of Chat
12.30am The Grumpy Side of... Christmas
1.30 FILM: TBA

So, alot of TBA's have now been filled, apart from the late night film on BBC Two. I'm keeping an eye on the Press Office website as transmission details may still be revealed on there. Failing that the full listings will be on DigiGuide by tomorrow evening fingers crossed

Digiguide now revealing Christmas schedules on the BBC. A bit poor if you ask me. See what you think by checking it out.

Is Christmas Day Gavin and Stacey the 5th episode of the series or the final episode?

Where's Victoria Wood's Midlife Christmas scheduled?

It's the much publicised beach episode. Episode 5.
Victoria Wood is on Christmas Eve at 9pm. After My Family.

I see BBC Two are showing Animal Park and Flog It! every day during the second week, but Christmas week itself it looking really good and look so much better than the early provisional schedules

Still no listings on the Press Office website though. They will probably be posted tomorrow by the looks of it. Can't see them being posted this late in the day.

Has anyone got the exact link to see the final x-mas line up for all five channels? .. I tried to find it from the Digiguide homepage but I seem to be getting nowhere!

The exact same updated listings that DigiGuide gave us tonight can be found here...

http://uk-tv-guide.com/list/BBC+1+No...cember%202009/

Though it only has limited listings for ITV1, as does DigiGuide and there are still a couple of TBA's here and there, but I think the timeslots for programmes on the BBC are now fully confirmed.

The full schedule will hopefully berevealed tomorrow or Thursday

Disappointed to see Outnumbered on at 10.30pm on Sunday 27th should have had an earlier time slot

Yeah, Its crazy!

It has been nominated for loads of awards at this years Comedy Awards so to put it on a 'nothin day' in a rubbish slot is just stupid! It should have got X-mas Eve, X-mas Day or Boxing Day.
