This Christmas, there's plenty to keep you entertained, from great drama to great comedy there's something for everyone.
Here are the 7 shows you have to watch on telly this Christmas...
1. Ratburger
Christmas Eve at 6pm on Sky One
First up, it’s one for all the family to enjoy! David Walliams’ TV adaptations of his books are a bit like buses. You wait ages (two years) for one and then two come at once. There’s Grandpa’s Great Escape on BBC One on New Year’s Day and before then there’s Ratburger on Sky One.
Ratburger is the fifth of David's children's novels to be adapted for TV and unlike Mr Stink, Gangsta Granny, The Boy In The Dress and Billionaire Boy, the one-off will air on Sky One rather than BBC One and stars Sheridan Smith and Mark Benton as well as Walliams himself.
Inspired by his time as a judge on Britain’s Got Talent, Ratburger is the story of rats, mincers and bullies, a school talent contest with seriously high stakes and a shifty burger van man with a rather deadly agenda.
Life isn’t good for Zoe. Her stepmother Sheila hates and her and her dad is never around. And at school, she’s having a miserable time at the hands of school bully Tina Trotts. So, when a rat shows in her bedroom, she calls him Armitage and quickly makes him her friend.
But Armitage turns out to be no ordinary rodent. This rat can dance, and he’s got some serious moves. Zoe decides to enter him in the school talent contest. However, gross and greasy Burt, the owner of the school burger van, has other ideas, and most of them involve a mincer...
