Coronation Street's Christmas Day episode which will be Gail Platt's (Helen Worth's) last ever episode will be clashing with Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl and the first part of the EastEnders double bill.

Looking forward to new Wallace and Gromit :wub: a big childhood favourite.

Loads to watch from 6pm onwards! Before that it's just stuff for kids

Is there a big 3pm Xmas day film on bbc?

Not this year as The Weakest Link and Strictly are on early. Toy Story 3 and Minions: The Rise of Gru are this year's films on the day.

I'm looking forward to the Xmas specials of Outnumbered, Gavin & Stacey and Would I Lie to You?. I will probably also watch Mrs Brown's Boys and Wallace & Gromit.

 

I am also looking forward to The Masked Singer & The 1% Club, as well as the Big Fat Quiz.

I don't even watch Corrie anymore, haven't for years, but I'll probs tune in for Gail's last episode! She has been part of some of my fave storylines, the Richard Hillman one, the Sarah Platt teen pregnancy one, David pushing her down the stairs, Eileen and her fighting in the street lol! An icon of Corrie!
