The Thames fireworks may be off, but Jools Holland, Graham Norton and co in the UK will still be vying for your sozzled attention
You might not be able to see your real friends – but there’s a gaggle of TV’s finest to keep you company with on British TV. On BBC One Paddy McGuinness kicks things off at 9pm with The Big New Year’s In, which promises a “live extravaganza” including musical guests, quizzes and a look back at 2020. (Do we really need that, Paddy?) That’s followed by a Graham Norton Show festive special at 10pm, featuring Emily Blunt, Jamie Dornan and Tom Hanks. And at 11.30pm, Alicia Keys Rocks New Year’s Eve, taking us through her hits before we cut to Big Ben for the countdown to midnight.
