BE ON TV

Are you a Mill on the Floss fan? Dotty for Daniel Deronda? Mad about Middlemarch? To mark the bicentenary of George Eliot’s birth, BBC4 is looking for fans to take part in a special documentary celebrating the Victorian writer’s life. If that sounds like you, email georgeeliotdoc@bbc.co.uk by December 14.

Bookies have the Strictly Xmas Special as 1/2 odds-on favourite to be the most popular show on Christmas Day. It’s followed by Mrs Brown’s Boys at 3/1 while Call The Midwife is at 13/2.
