And they're bringing in the big guns not just Joanna Lumley, Russell T Davies and Mark Gatiss, but the iconic Pat Butcher, back at Albert Square and The Queen Vic for the first time in a decade (and the second time since being killed off). Lumley leads the marquee production, an adaptation of E. F. Benson's 1912 short story The Room in the Tower , which becomes the 18th instalment in the BBC's long-running A Ghost Story for Christmas anthology series. Roger Winstanley accepts an invitation to his friend's family's country house, to be confronted by the very thing that for years has haunted his nightmares. Slightly more upbeat is Dear Father Christmas , which sees 16-year-old Chris (Lenny Rush) set out to prove that the big jolly guy with the red costume and flying reindeers is real. Why his father (James Buckley) waited so long to have The Talk is anybody's guess, but on his quest Chris runs into academics including Stephen Fry and Hannah Fry who, we pray, don't sap all the fun out of Channel 4's flagship festive special. The BBC's latest Julia Donaldson adaptation The Scarecrows Wedding stands to be the big animated special of the season, starring Jessie Buckley and Domhnall Gleeson as loved-up effigies Betty OBarley and Harry OHay, whose wedding plans are derailed by smooth-talking Reginald Rake (Rob Brydon). As one of British TV's most iconic characters of all time, Pat Butcher's EastEnders return, albeit brief, will take some topping, but you can count on Coronation Street to pull out the stops in its 65th year. Something tells us Debbie Webster's (Sue Devaney) white wedding might end in tears. While it might not strictly have a festive theme, it wouldn't be Christmas without a Doctor Who special. These are real troubled times for the show, which won't return until next year, but five-part spinoff The War Between the Land and the Sea sounds like a real breath of fresh air, with Russell Tovey and Gugu Mbatha-Raw in the leading roles. There's the small matter of the long-awaited second run of The Night Manager too, though that'll be closer to New Year.
