An alternative Christmas message
Updated on 24 December 2008
Channel 4 says it will offer viewers an insight into a different world view with its alternative Christmas message tomorrow.
There will be two Christmas messages to choose from on television, the traditional broadcast by the Queen at 3pm, and the Channel 4 alternative at 7.15 pm, which features the Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Already the decision is proving controversial.
