Channel 4 announces its Christmas line-up
Hope these aren't the highlights!
Reality TV
It’s been known for a while that The Great British Bake Off will be getting a Christmas special. Turns out it’s getting two, with returning contestants from the most recent series, and the quartet of judges/hosts/cake eaters.
Elsewhere, there’s The Secret Life Of 5 Year Olds Goes On Holiday, Gogglebox Best Of 2017, The Undateables At Christmas, Scousers In A Manger and a return visit to the Old People’s Home For 4 Year Olds.
Alan Carr
A triple dose of Carr on Four at Christmas. He’s hosting a revival of The Price Is Right (just a pilot episode so far, though), a Chatty Man Christmas Special, and Alan Carr’s New Year’s Eve Spectacular.
The Crystal Maze
Richard Ayoade is hosting a celebrity special of The Crystal Maze, with a Yuletide theme. Said celebrities have not yet been announced, though.
Big Fat Quiz
The Big Fat Quiz Of Everything will be hosted again by Jimmy Carr. Again, no contestants have thus far been confirmed.
And then there’s…
Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas
