Five plots 'CSI' Christmas special

Five has announced plans to screen a CSI special as part of their Christmas lineup.

Introduced by William Peterson, Grissom's Greatest will feature 16 of the iconic character's best episodes.

Also planned is two-hour festive special Most Shocking Celeb Moments Of The Year, which will look at star stories which have shocked in 2009 - including Katie Price's I'm A Celebrity... exit.

Other programmes in the schedule include a screening of Michael Jackson's 30th anniversary concert, and a back-to-back screening of all ten episodes screened so far of FlashForward, which will go out on one of the digital channels.

Five's channel controller Richard Wolfe said of the lineup: "Christmas on Five is all about over-indulgence - draw the curtains, put an extra log on the fire, crack open the big tin of Quality Street and gorge yourself on our shamelessly entertaining festive fayre."
