The big two Television players for the coverited number one spot for the Christmas Day have nail there colours to the wall with the all-important 5pm to 10pm schedule released. There are a number of head-to-head clashes meaning the iplayer and others will be call into play.
The soaps are regarded as the big two with the TV companies with the BCC’s EastEnders regular the top show on Christmas Day while Coronation Street has not managed to knock them off the top spot.
17:00 Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special v Paul O’Grady: For the Love of Dogs at Christmas
Still warming from the Strictly series which finish four days before Christmas and with the likes of Rochelle Humes, Rufus Hound, Sara Cox and Bros singer Matt Goss taking to a Strictly ballroom and hands down winner for the BBC. Paul O’Grady will be spreading festive cheer with a seasonal visit to the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
My predicted winner: Strictly BBC
Our House … Strictly
18:15 Call the Midwife v Emmerdale
Very tough one to call, both show are very popular with Midwife regular pulling in around 9m viewers. It could help at they are following straight on from Strictly I suspect it may just edge out the competition. You know what you get with soaps like Emmerdale some major drama.
My predicted winner: Midwife BBC
Our house … Emmerdale as the wife is a soap junkie.
19:30 Dr Who v Coronation Street
We see Matt Smith’s final performance in Doctor Who with Peter Capaldi expected to make his proper arrival in the show as the new regeneration of The Doctor. Traditionally with all soaps like Coronation Street on Christmas Day there is a wedding, death or the dreaded reveal of some secret and it should be the same with Coronation Street.
My predicted winner: So close to call but I think Coronation will just steal it ITV
Our house … Dr Who if the wife lets me
20:30 EastEnders/Mrs Brown v Downton Abbey
BBC will be looking to EastEnders to bring home the viewers and they will be hoping the arrival of new Queen Vic landlord Danny Dyer and family among with the inevitable other dross will do it. It will be followed by comedy with the Mrs Brown Christmas special give the BBC a double header against ITV flagship Downton Abbey Christmas special. Over on ITV Downton fans will see the Crowley’s head for Buckingham Palace.
My predicted winner: EastEnders/Mrs Brown
Our House BBC away the way
