| My Christmas Day choice |
Films at Christmas now seem to play a secondary role to the soaps these days with them occupying the prime time in the schedules.
Between 7pm until 10pm, there is a solid block of soaps covering the two main channels. ITV have Emmerdale at 7pm followed by Coronation Street at 8pm and the BBC gives us EastEnders at 9pm. Do you think that is over kill?
Three hours of misery and another Christmas Day wedding. On the film front, not much to get excited about. The big film of the day is Frozen, on Sky movies. Is there not a child in the country that has not seen it in the cinema or on DVD?
On the terrestrial channels, the offering on BBC 1 is Puss in Boots, one for the kids, its first showing on terrestrial TV although it was on Sky movies years ago like all of the ‘so called new’ films this Christmas. No film premieres on BBC 2, ITV, or Channel 5 only leaving Channel 4.
They (Channel 4) have managed to slip in two films. Both animated Animals United and Arthur Christmas and if you add, Puss in Boots then all three are animated. However, with Channel 4 showing one of my all time favourite Christmas film Scrooged I will be happy.
- Animals Untied - C4 8.55am
- Frozen - Sky movies 12.30pm/7pm
- Puss in Boots - BBC 1 3.10pm
- Arthur Christmas - C4 6pm
- (My star pick of the Day) -Scrooged C4 - 2.05pm
