Christmas 2006

DigiGuide claims it will have them by 1st December.

You'd schedule Monsters Inc. a kids film in a 10.15pm slot ? Madness.

That's great news, thanks for that info.

Dec 25

Looks like Five every year, just running a normal scedule, H&A, their usual films etc

This year's Christmas Coca-Cola ad:

I'm afraid you'll have to hum the tune yourself, they seem to have forgotten it this year.

Firstly, anyone know who is doing the Alternative Christmas Message on C4 this year?


And secondly, I hope they don't bring out the idents too early this year. Yes, we want to see them, but the earlier they are used, the less special they are.

With Christmas Day on the Monday, I think Friday 22nd December would be the most appropriate date, running through to New Year's Day.

Sorry for searching and bringing up this thread again but..
I can't wait for Xmas - can you? However I hope ITV1, BBC1 and Channel4 have Xmas idents prepared
