Deciding what to watch over the Christmas holidays can be a tricky task. When it seems like every TV show ever made is bringing out a festive special and the schedule is packed, breaking down the shows actually worth your time is a real task.
As a TV writer, I spend my life watching monumental amounts of the stuff. I also felt a certain amount of overwhelm myself when faced with this year's Christmas line-up, wishing for a return to the days where I decided what I was going to watch by circling it with highlighter pens in the Radio Times as a kid.
