Ho ho ho.
Its that time again, and its time for the Christmas schedules.

Unfortunately, I shall be away during the Christmas period and have a ton of research and essays to write up. Therefore since a new DofTV selection has not yet been undergone, I will ask if anybody else would be able to donate a couple of hours to schedule. I will take a look over, but I can't promise you anything.

Anyhow. Post your programme information here:

• Programme title
• Programme duration (including Advert breaks(
• Programme description
• Number of episodes (indicate which days multiple episodes should go on)
• Preferred schedule days (Christmas Eve, Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, Day)
• Definition
  

Thanks,
