My Xmas TV Advent Calendar 2025

Every day from 1st to 24th December I'll use random.org to pick a year from 1956 to 2005, and then a terrestrial channel within the correct range (either 2, 3, 4 or 5) for that year, and finally an hour and then minute. I will then consult archive television listings to see what was on at that hour (and a minute where needed) on that channel on Xmas Day of that year, and if it is available online anywhere I will watch it. For the hours after 23:59 and before 6am I will number them from the 24th hour to 29th hour of Xmas Day, since the broadcasting day has always been deemed to have started and ended at 6am, so there is also no 0th to 5th hours at the start of Xmas Day. Here is what has been randomly drawn so far:

Day 6
1974 - BBC1 - 18:52 Bruce Forsyth and the Generation Game [16:15-17:15]

Day 5
2001 - BBC2 - 24:?? I Love 1973 [24:00-25:00]

Day 4
2000 - ITV - 16:?? Film: Octopussy [15:10-17:35]
Available online only to rent or buy on various premium streaming services.

Day 3
1995 - BBC2 - 15:17 La Boheme [15:10-16:05]
No video found online, as it's an Australian import I've information on if it survives, but it likely does.

Day 2
1981 - BBC2 - 11:09 Play School [11:00-11:25]
No video found online, but TVBrain indicates that it does survive.

Day 1
1976 - BBC1 - 13:57 Holiday on Ice [13:20-14:10]

NB: This is a short clip only, not the full show.
