So no Ask The Family, Call My Bluff or Top of the Form then?
Humbug
No thanks Beeb
Thank God for DVDs
I think there might be a Royle Family special on too, and unless I've got it horribly wrong, a Gavin & Stacey one? Will watch Rev, Outnumbered and Ab Fab's.
The Royle Family special was cancelled because the writers never delivered a script on time.

Plenty of information on almost all of those titles has been available here on the BCG for months.

Delayed to 2012.

You have. Corden and Jones have just stated on occasion that they might bring it back for a special or two at some point.

I'm sure information for all shows has been on here already. It's not a competition Aaron, this site isn't too shabby. 
Aaah Christmas, time to get the Marx Brothers and Bilko boxset out.
Worth noting on this comedy forum that funny types Bill Bailey and Arabella Weir are in Doctor Who's Christmas Special too.

As is Alexander Armstrong.
That is worth noting. Last year's Dr Who was a very enjoyable well-scripted episode, so fingers crossed and all that.
The answer may well be out there but is Mr Armstrong playing a new character or Mr Smith?
Do you limeys sit around watching reruns on the television on Christmas? We got this thing called internet over here, see. It's pretty nice. And girls' bottoms, which are also nice. Add some cheddar snacks and it's a party.

Limeys? Sorry, is your "internet" (no, clearly we don't have it...) in a bad 1960s film?
