List Of UK Air Dates For TV Christmas Specials 2016
As we hurtle into the holiday season, I thought it might be handy to create a list of the UK premiere dates for the various Christmas Specials 2016 and ‘one off’ shows which will be gracing our tv screens over the festive period. We could add them all to the main ‘UK TV Air Dates’ page, which we have done with some shows, but I just thought that would be easier to have them all in one place. The BBC & Channel 4 have gone particularly Christmas Special crazy this year, although Sky also have a fews festive shows coming up too.
I’m sure I’ve missed some out, but if you spot one you think should be added to the list, just let me know in the comments, and I’ll add it in.
