The ones I'm particularly excited about:
- Christopher and His Kind (BBC Two) -- "The hedonistic Berlin cabaret scene is in full swing when a young and wide-eyed Christopher Isherwood arrives in the city, unable to speak a word of German, to stay with his close friend, Auden. To Isherwood's reserved English sensibility, the city's thriving gay subculture is thrilling and intoxicating. But Christopher soon finds himself heartbroken after the failure of a hopeless love affair, and so sets out on a process of self-discovery." + Matt Smith.
- The Song of Lunch (BBC Two) -- Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson!
- The Crimson Petal & The White (BBC Two) -- Gillian Anderson! Romola Garai, Chris O'Dowd, Mark Gatiss.
- Single Father (BBC One) -- David Tennant.
- Accused (BBC One) -- "Christopher Eccleston and Mackenzie Crook play the leading characters in the first two episodes of Accused; separate stories which open as an ordinary individual is led to the dock to hear his or her fate. As each hour-long episode unravels viewers learn how each person came to be there. But on reflection should they be the accused? Are they innocent or guilty or somewhere in between? And will the jury make the right judgement?"
- The First Men in the Moon (BBC Four) -- Mark Gatiss!
- Upstairs Downstairs (BBC One)
- The Shadow Line (BBC Two) -- Chiwetel Ejiofor, Christopher Eccleston, Lesley Sharp.
- Doctor Who Christmas Special (BBC One)
- Outcasts (BBC One) -- "Outcasts is set on a recently-discovered planet and tells of the dilemmas, loves and lives of a group of people setting up a new world. This life-sustaining planet is now home to the surviving population from Earth. Here there is a chance to start again, to bring the lessons learnt from Earth and to put them into action on a new planet." + Jamie Bamber.
- Toast (BBC One) -- Helena Bonham Carter.
