-The Great British Sewing Bee: Celebrity Christmas Special, BBC1, 7.45 Boxing Day-
Host Joe Lycett welcomes four celebrity guests to the sewing room for this special Christmas episode.
Denise Van Outen, Shirley Ballas, Dr Ranj Singh and Sara Pascoe put their sewing skills, or lack of them, to the test, competing in three challenges set by judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young.
The first, the pattern challenge, is to make a pair of festive pyjama bottoms, the perfect loungewear for Christmas morning. Next up, it’s the transformation challenge where they are asked to make a festive fancy dress outfit for a dog.
For their final challenge, the made to measure, the four celebrity sewers must make a perfectly fitted dress to wear on Christmas Day.
Who will sew up chaos in the sewing room and who will create garments worthy of taking centre stage at Christmas?
Just what we need after the year we have all had eh?

Re: Christmas TV highlights 2020
I used to love getting the Radio Times at Christmas and getting the highlighter pens out. Fortunately there is so much choice these days, practically all on demand, that there’s no excuse to waste your time watching rubbish. Judging by some of the TV threads on here you’d think differently though.

Re: Christmas TV highlights 2020
Got a Christmas guide this morning. Seen all the Movie Premiere's on Netflix and Sky already. I've circled a few things but very disappointing fare. May get Now TV for a month and tick off movies we've missed as there's largely nothing on worth watching or I've seen before.
Looks like a Now TV/Netflix Christmas for us.

Re: Christmas TV highlights 2020
Dunkirk is ok but its all a bit far fetched. I prefer the war films/documentary's to be more closely based on real events like the film
M*A*S*H which is my personal fav

Re: Christmas TV highlights 2020
The greatest showman is an unexpectedly good film. Some great songs and acting with a good story about the circus.
Re: Christmas TV highlights 2020
At least they’ve finished the next series of Line of Duty. Something to look forward to in the New Year. Not sure if Peaky Blinders has been completed, but fingers crossed.

Re: Christmas TV highlights 2020
I'm waiting for The Serpent starting on BBC 1 on NYD, based on the true story of how international serial killer Charles Sobhraj (nicknamed “The Serpent” and “The Bikini Killer”) was captured and put on trial in 1976.
Featuring a star-studded cast including Tahar Rahim, Ellie Bamber & Jenna Coleman.
And this also caught my eye A Wartime Christmas Channel 5 23 December.
A family experience what it was like to celebrate the first three Christmases of the 1940s, and the challenges and deprivations families faced during these times. In the first episode, the family learns how to black out a home and build a shelter in the event of an air raid, and prepares a Woolton pie for Christmas dinner. Historians Joshua Levine, Carol Harris and Mike Brown offer an insight into the impact of rationing and evacuation on family life.
It watching programmes such as this that makes me appreciate all the modern comforts we enjoy.

Re: Christmas TV highlights 2020
Is the Masked Singer really a thing?
I thought it had been made up by someone on here.

Re: Christmas TV highlights 2020
I'm still trying to pack Christmas Day full of TV, any more suggestions?
There's a one-off episode of Blankety Blank hosted by Bradley Walsh, which could be a laugh. 7pm Christmas Day
