upcoming Christmas holiday weekend

This weekend on UK TV there will be the usual assortment of past Christmas episodes and specials and a few new things to look forward to.


Thursday night How Not To Live Your Life will return for a Christmas special which will also be the last ever episode.


Christmas Eve will see the Series 4 finale of Merlin, a special long episode of EastEnders, a new holiday comedy-drama called Lapland with Sue Johnston, Julie Graham, Keith Barron, Stephen Graham and Elizabeth Berrington and a Christmas special of Outnumbered.


On Christmas it will be the specials from Doctor Who and Downton Abbey and the return of Absolutely Fabulous. AbFab will also be back on New Year's Day and a third time later in 2012. There will also be hour-long special episodes from Emmerdale, EastEnders and Coronation Street.


On Boxing Day the Irish laissez-faire sitcom Mrs Brown's Boys will be returning with a Christmas episode that will kick off a second series of 8 new shows. Also, the Poirot episode "The Clocks" will be aired for the first time, I believe, in the UK. It's been broadcast in other countries several times over the past two years.


Last night Rob Brydon returned with his show for the Series 2 Christmas episode.
