Well, I must be easily pleased because I've marked more than enough programmes with my pink highlighter to see us through the festive period and far beyond, and I've only looked at BBC, ITV and Channel 4. 
We like the Christmas specials for starters - University Challenge, Only Connect, HIGNFY, the Big Fat Quiz of the Year, First Dates, the Gogglebox compilation. Then I fancy Les Miserables and Luther. Call the Midwife, of course, Doctor Who and possibly Watership Down, The ABC Murders and Torvill & Dean. Other possibles are Stephen Merchant's Click & Collect, Simon Callow's The Dead Room. There's the Royal Ballet's Swan Lake, and a new series of Back in Time for (School, this time) starting just after New Year. The Royal Institution Christmas lectures. I'll also be reminiscing over the classic episode of The Royle Family. There are some good films on - I'd recommend Eddie the Eagle and Philomena to anyone who hasn't seen them. And a few things I need to record for the grandsons. Oh, and Corrie - no doubt there'll be a few daft storylines coming to even dafter conclusions.
I think I've enough there to see me through the Winter..... 
I just got all excited about The Queen & I and got the highlighter out again... It’s on Sky! I don’t have Sky! 
Not to worry. DH and I are just watching last Christmas’s Luther, which we never got round to. Oh, it’s good (and very creepy).
