It’s the end of 2025, and I’m back again for another of my annual annotated look at the festive line-up of television and radio. I’ve been doing this since around 2009…

I’m not sure that this year’s line-up is necessarily the most exciting, and the advent of streaming means that even something scheduled for BBC1 or ITV1 may already be on their relevant streaming service.

Here, courtesy of the double issue of the Radio Times, is a helpfully annotated look at today’s Yuletide offerings.

But it’s not all about television. There are some radio options too!

As ever, click through on the photos for larger more visible versions. That’s especially true if you’re trying to read this on your mobile.

I’ll be back tomorrow for some Christmas Day options…
