'Tis the season...

Think the BBC have missed a trick with their Christmas scheduling.  They're being criticised - and rightly in my opinion - for only showing eight hours of Christian-themed programmes during Christmas week.  Given their position as our national broadcaster and given that at Christmastime, a lot of people turn more to religion, and go to church who perhaps ordinarily wouldn't do so, and given that the role of the BBC and its place in the 21st century is coming under serious scrutiny, they could have done themselves some good by demonstrating that they are not just a ratings-chasing organisation and with four channels (at the time of writing) they could surely have found room for a lot more than eight hours (of which four are repeats by the way).
