What programmes are you looking forward to over the festive season?
 

I've just seen a few ads on BBC for the festive season. I'm looking forward to another slice of Absolutely Fabulous.

Also looking forward to Doctor Who and the Big Fat Gypsy Christmas.

Lapland starring Sue Johnston looks like fun. The 90-minute comedy is being filmed in Britain and Lapland, and also stars Stephen Graham (This Is England), Elizabeth Berrington (Secrets And Lies), William Ash (Waterloo Road), Julie Graham (Survivors), Zawe Ashton (Fresh Meat), and Keith Barron (Benidorm).

Is there a Royle Family christmas episode this year?

I thought there was one. I saw Sue Johnston in one of those clips and assumed it was for another Christmas special, but when I googled, it was reported they couldn't agree on a script in time. Shame as I always love those Christmas specials.

There won't be this year, which is a shame, because I thought last years back to basis episode was the best they've done recently.

Doctor Who, EastEnders and Downton Abbey are the main three I'm looking forward to.
