BBC unveils its Christmas line-up
The BBC has confirmed its Christmas TV line-up for 2019 and we're in for a real treat.
Mrs Browns Boys, Miranda Hart and Gavin and Stacey are among the shows back for the festive season.
Viewers will be able to catch up on the much-loved sitcom Gavin and Stacey on Christmas Day, as Uncle Bryn (Rob Brydon) cooks a very big Christmas dinner in Barry.
Other shows include an "explosive festive episode" of EastEnders and a Call The Midwife Christmas Special.
Miranda: My Such Fun Celebration is filmed at The London Palladium with cast and crew looking back at the sitcom's highlights, 10 years after it first aired.
While Mrs Brown's Boys, a Christmas ratings juggernaut, will air two festive specials - A Wonderful Mammy and Orange Is The New Mammy.
We'll also have Christmas Specials from Top Gear, Doctor Who and Strictly Come Dancing.
Dramas, previously announced, include A Christmas Carol, starring Guy Pearce as Scrooge, and an adaptation of Dracula by Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss.
A new drama about the Profumo affair, The Trial Of Christine Keeler, will also star James Norton, Ellie Bamber and Emilia Fox.
For the younger members of the family, the festive animations include Snail And The Whale, from Julia Donaldson's book, and Sir Michael Morpurgo's Mimi And The Mountain Dragon.
Music programming includes a new documentary on Dolly Parton, exclusive to the BBC, a film on Liam Gallagher and The Magic Flute, from Glyndebourne.
BBC content director Charlotte Moore said: "The BBC has assembled a sensational range of programmes to give viewers a festive season filled with Christmas crackers.
"We are bringing back some classic favourites with the likes of Gavin And Stacey, Miranda, Scrooge and Dracula as well as introducing original new shows too.
"Whether you're a fan of drama, comedy, entertainment or simply want to wallow in the beauty of the natural world, there really is no better place to be than watching the BBC this Christmas."
