BBC announced plans to bring a host of box-sets and classic programmes back to BBC iPlayer to watch over the holiday period.

In the lead up to Christmas, fans will be able to tuck into a huge number of BBC drama and comedy series, as well as some of its best-loved family and natural history programmes. This, along with a bumper sack of new festive treats across the BBC, will ensure that viewers can enjoy even more great programmes from the BBC this holiday season.

A huge slate of drama programming will be returning to BBC iPlayer. The first three series of Peaky Blinders will join the new series, which is currently being shown on BBC Two.

great for Secret Santa gift ideas!

[Nicky91]

is there more Christmas information, maybe for me in netherlands

[LeatherTrumpet]

An annual debate in the Netherlands about the Christmas season practice of white people blackening their faces, colouring their lips red and donning wigs to play Zwarte Piet, a sidekick to Saint Nicholas, has this year descended into street brawls, vandalism and a conviction for inciting racial hatred.

The characterisation of Zwarte Piet – or Black Pete – has divided Dutch society in recent years. In 2015 the UN stepped in to declare it was a “vestige of slavery”. Some major cities, including Amsterdam and The Hague, have refashioned Zwarte Piet’s image, or done away with him altogether, to avoid accusations of racism.

Others, however, continue to believe the character’s portrayal to be a harmless tradition. In a survey of 272 of the 388 Dutch municipalities, 239 said they would be sticking with the traditional image in 2017.

U neva heard of WotsApp or summink mate?

[caprimint]

Christmas cards are so expensive, I'm not getting any this year (even for family etc) and I've told my parents I'd rather just have the money even if the card is like £1. So many people just throw them in the bin as well.

yes and sending someone that instead of a card is tight and unthoughtful

We used to make labels out of the pictures and stick them on presents

Might as well just send a message on Whatsapp tbh

[bitontheslide]

Haven't sent cards for years. What is the point of sending a card to someone you are in touch with regularly. Sending cards to people once a year you haven't spoken to in years, may as well be an "i'm not dead yet" message

LT needs everyone to know he is alive.

I sent my American cousins cards on Friday. I will do the Irish lot today, and the English ones next week, plenty time.

[LeatherTrumpet]

i think i have like 7 to send and that was a struggle

the TL wants me to send one to some sick kid who "loves cards" but iv heard of this tons of times and may just tell her I sent one today
