Gavin and Stacey Special among highlights for BBC One Christmas Day schedule

The BBC One Christmas Day schedule has been revealed, with plenty of films and Christmas specials to keep you entertained throughout the day.

Among the highlights this year is the return of Gavin and Stacey, which is being broadcast as a Christmas special nearly 10 years after the last episode aired.

In the last few months, the cast of the show have admitted to going to bizarre, and sometimes hilarious, lengths to keep new of the reunion show under wraps.

Ruth Jones, who co-wrote and co-starred in the show, recently admitted that she took her nine-year-old niece to the Welsh town of Barry, where the show is set, to use as a cover story in case she was spotted by fans.

The Gavin and Stacey Christmas special will be broadcast on BBC One from 8.30pm.

Some of the other highlights include a early morning showing of the 1995 film Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave  and, in the afternoon, the much-loved animated movie  Moana.

There will also be Christmas specials of  Mrs Brown's Boys, Call The Midwife and Not Going Out across the evening.

The Queen's Christmas Broadcast will be take place, as usual, at 3pm.
