It's worth noting that this was broadcast at the same time as the traditional Christmas day speech pre-recorded and delivered by the Queen. Channel 4 has a history of doing things a little differently, and this certainly piqued my interests today.

No, the queen's speech was broadcast at 3pm (BBC1, ITV). Channel 4's alternative message was at 4.15pm. They have broadcast alternate messages at the same time before, like when the Simpsons did it - just not this year.
