The big day is nearly here, and having navigated trains and traffic, cursed at airport drone-flyers, and got annoyed with people using smartphones in front of you in the street, you’re feeling all Christmassy!

These days of course, there is serious competition from the streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. And this year, the BBC has 100 boxsets available on iPlayer! 

In other words, there is a lot of other stuff to watch besides what the pages of Radio Times have to offer.

Nonetheless, I’ve run my pen and Post-It notes over the pages again, and here’s what you perhaps should – and shouldn’t – be watching today!

And of course, it’s not just about the television. There’s some radio too!

As ever, click through to see larger versions that might be a bit more legible.

NB. I’ve been providing this “service” for ages now. The back catalogue is all here.
