Lots of one-off dramas, Christmas specials and network premières - what are you looking forward to on TV over Christmas?

Dr Who.

Will be avoiding TV apart from that as it is too much like being in work.

This will be a new experience for me this year. I have never watched TV at Christmas as always too busy or abroad.

This year I will be watching some TV, I am not sure I like the idea of this, even on Christmas Day????

The OH does this in the afternoons on Christmas day, I'll just concentrate on dinner rather than sitting on sofa all day.

So what delights do I have to look forward to?

Lost Christmas looks interesting.

Also - an adaptation of the Borrowers with Stephen Fry, Christopher Eccleston, Victoria Wood, directed by the director of Misfits (and the season finale of Misfits is on this weekend, does that count as Christmas TV?)

Of course, Jool's Hootenanny is a regular appointment. Should have been recorded by now, trying to find out who is one this year.
