Got the Christmas TV Guide today so some times have been changed slightly.

An extra 15 minutes of the show on Christmas Day!

75 minutes? Are you kidding me Channel 4?!

I may get back into watching the show. But 75 minutes?

Dearest Allah, no. When I was 11? Oh yes indeed. When I was 12? Definitely. When I was 13? Perhaps.

Now, nearing 18? Nah. I don't know how long the show runs for thesedays, but 45 minutes was always perfect for me.

Rather like Double Deal Week, I sense 75 minutes might be too much.

Just had a look again, it says it's followed by Channel 4 News / 4thought.tv so looks like a normal 60 minutes.

It says 4:25 - 5:30 there.

Also, 12:15 on Boxing Day?! That will be the earliest it's ever been on.

65 minutes is plausible, not unprecedented, and I'm not even sure it hints at a big game.

Quite a few episodes in Jan/Feb 2011 were 65 minutes if memory serves.

Length of Noel's intro and commercial breaks might take up more of the show than usual, but time will tell.
