BBC's Christmas 2022 TV schedule with Strictly, Mrs Brown's Boys and brand new Happy Valley

The BBC has announced a whole host of exciting TV programmes for its 2022 Christmas schedule. Strictly Come Dancing and Mrs Brown’s Boys will return for the festive period, alongside a New Year's Eve edition of The Graham Norton Show and a Call the Midwife special.

Last year, the BBC's Strictly’s Christmas special was the most-watched programme over the Christmas period aside from the Queen’s festive message. This year, the jam-packed schedule is also set to feature Bad Education, Ghosts, Malory Towers, the Great British Sewing Bee and Motherland.

BBC One sitcom Mrs Brown’s Boys will return with special episodes over Christmas and New Year. Originally a theatre production, the show, starring Irish comedian Brendan O’Carroll as Agnes Brown, was first broadcast on BBC One in 2011 and has since become one of the biggest comedies on TV.
