Agree - this (in my view) has been driven by the Financial aspect no doubt by the producers of the show. The cast and crew deserved a well earned rest for Christmas day and Boxing day - Sunday is a natural day off with a return to work on the Monday. In this way no messing with public transport or big journeys. In the end, the paying public probably voted with their feet by not attending in such large numbers (which I think is very demoralising for the cast).jacob wrote:Saturday December 26th eve

A few random thoughts about the Boxing Day Show. This year Christmas Day falling on Friday has made things quite tricky for cast, crew and Front of House. They did a Christmas Eve mat (which I believe was not very well attended), had Christmas Day off, and then were back in for Saturday eve with Sunday off. As most people had travelled to be with family it meant that they had done a lot of travelling around at a time when there was little public transport. Why oh why are there no trains on Boxing Day? Pretty tiring for all concerned.
I say - learn the lessons for next year.
