BBC announces beloved TV show will be part of its 2023 Christmas lineup.

It's almost time to get festive - with the BBC promising a packed Christmas schedule of family favourites, musical performances, festive specials, and film premieres!
Top of the Pops is set to make a return for a special edition of the legendary chart music show, which promises musical performances from some of the most talked about artists of 2023. The show had its peak of popularity in the 1970s, and specials and retrospective episodes have been aired intermittently since it was cancelled in 2006.
Hosted by Radio 1 DJ Clara Amfo, this special edition is sure to remind viewers of the pop music show’s golden era.

Meanwhile, Doctor Who fans will be excited to tune into Ncuti Gatwa’s first outing as the Doctor on Christmas Day, following the trilogy’s conclusion on December 9. The special will be aired after King Charles III’s 3pm speech.
In the children’s viewing corner, Tabby McTat will be the big draw - an animated Christmas adventure about the friendship between a cat and a talented busker, adapted from the picture book written by Julia Donaldson and starring Rob Brydon, Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísú, Jodie Whittaker, and Joanna Scanlon.
The Famous Five will also return on the BBC, a modern reinterpretation of Enid Blyton’s children’s tales, starring Game of Thrones’ Jack Gleeson.
Caroline Aherne will also be celebrated in a new documentary film, titled Comedy Queen, which will feature unseen photographs and contributions from a cast of her lifelong friends, including Steve Coogan, Jon Thompson, and Craig Cash.

Other favourites also set to return include Call the Midwife, Mrs. Brown’s Boys, Carols from King’s, Songs of Praise, Strictly Come Dancing, The Hit List, MasterChef, Death in Paradise, The Great British Sewing Bee, and many others.
Ghosts, Gavin and Stacey, Line of Duty, Shetland, Man Like Mobeen, This Country, Not Going Out, and The Royle Family will also broadcast Christmas specials.
On the film front, viewers can expect The Witches, The Lion King remake, Belfast, House of Gucci, Marry Me, and Peter Rabbit 2 in the festive TV guide.

So, grab your highlighter, novelty Christmas jumper, and get ready for the festive season! There's plenty to watch, so what will you be tuning into on Christmas Day?
