It's fair to say that British television schedules haven't exactly been packed this Winter season: the much-loathed Christmas repeats quickly came out in force, ranging from every episode of Friends imaginable to the Top 100 Christmas Adverts on the big day. Merlin closed with an epic finale as the titular wizard fought arch-nemesis Morgana for the kingdom of Camelot with the help of the Knights of the Round Table on BBC One in late November. One particular recent highlight came last night in '100 Greatest Toys with Jonathan Ross', a great look at playthings past where viewers had voted for the toy to top the list, with the Nintendo Wii coming third, Monopoly coming a close second and LEGO first. It's this sort of entertainment that, while rare, helps bulk out the mass of repeats every year! Christmas Day itself sees Doctor Who return in A Christmas Carol, Ronnie Corbett take the lead with other top comedians in The One Ronnie and David Walliams and Matt Lucas (of Little Britain) in the first part of spoof airport-documentary Come Fly With Me. Winter hasn't been an altogether busy time for British TV, so it's been left to a few popular shows to steal the show amongst repeats.
