Fantastic telly is as much a Christmas staple as turkey, Baileys and selection boxes, and this year looks to be no different.
The BBC has confirmed a number of its usual offerings will return this festive season, along with some new and anticipated programmes. And for the first time ever, of course, we'll see the King's Speech on our screens.
Among many entertaining specials, Line of Duty star Martin Compston is back in a brand new show, Mayflies, while viewers can expect programmes like Strictly and Call the Midwife as usual.
