As we hurtle into the holiday season again (where does the time go,) I thought it might be handy to create a list of the UK premiere dates for the various Christmas Specials 2017 and ‘one-off’ shows which will be gracing our tv screens over the festive period
Rather than add them all to the main ‘UK TV Air Dates’ page, which we have done with some shows, I thought that would be easier to have them all in one place. This is, by no means, a complete list (there’s a LOT of shows this year!), but if you spot one you think should be added, just let me know in the comments, and I’ll put it in.
