Zapsmart: Music on TV and Radio today

(Some of this might be more on the iPlayer than actually useful now. But it's Christmas.)

9.00am Radio 2 - Junior Choice
Yes, with Ed Stewpot Stewart and everything. Perfect for Christmas morning. Unless you've got actual, 21st Century Children.

10.00am 6Music - Derek Smalls
Made-up pop star takes the morning slot on 6Music. In a bit of a missed scheduling opportunity, the programme goes on until 12.

10.00am Radio 1 - The Tinsel Takeover
This is quite a nice idea - the day is parceled up into 24 bits, and each fifteen minute segment is given to a listener to present. Nobody uses the opportunity to pretend they're sharing a cracker with Pete Tong and Westwood, sadly.

12.30 Sky One - Girls Aloud Out Of Control
Footage of Cheryl Cole in the bathrooms

1.00 6Music - Beth Ditto
Beth does what she does best (i.e. anything other than making records.)

2.00 BBC1 - Top Of The Pops
Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates are both fully-fledged Radio One djs now. And yet you still find yourself wondering if someone couldn't have put in a call to Simon Bates.

6.30 ITV4 - The Blues Brothers 2000
Even people who liked The Blues Brothers thought this was going a bit too far.

8.00 ITV - All Star Mr & Mrs Christmas Special
The 'special' tag is an indication that they've actually got some proper stars on. Well, Joan Collins and Emma Bunton, anyway. NB: They're not married to each other.

8.00 Sky Arts 1 - ELO Live At Wembley
Don't worry, it'll be on again when you're not being forced to play Jenga with your nan.

9.00 Five - The Abba Years
Five are spending Christmas night thinking about Abba. The TV equivalent of spending Christmas trying to heat up a microwave meal for one over a lightbulb.

12.30am BBC2 - Never Mind The Buzzcocks Where Are They Now?
The not-entirely viewer friendly scheduling suggests that the highlights show from this series might be a bit more soggy sprouts than bread sauce
