I had no interest in watching Gavin and Stacey as I never saw any of the original series. Of that list, the only show I watched was Call The Midwife and that was only because I know one of the actresses in it. I didn't think there was anything of interest on the TV over Christmas.

Im with you @Angela's Mulled Wine - Never found it remotely funny at the time so no desire to tune in 10 years later

I didnt watch anything in the Top 10 and just goes to show how TV has changed when likes of Corrie gets less than 5 million viewers and 9 of the 10 shows get less than 8 million views.

My guilty pleassure is Escape to the Chateau, cant get enough of Dick, Angel, their gorgeous house and lovely kids!

A far cry from when 16 million people tuned in to watch Meg Richardson sing We Need A Little Christmas on Crossroads.

My guilty pleassure is Escape to the Chateau

When it comes to property renovation shows, I'm more of a Homes Under The Hammer man myself.

@Barbara Belle Of The Ball I got to say, I really like your new banner, very elegant and classy.

Lots of soaps on the list. Watching your stories is more important than spending time with your family.

 

[Mel O'Drama]

I watched three of the top ten "live":

2. The Queen's Christmas Broadcast (BBC One, ITV, Sky) - 7.85m

3. Strictly Come Dancing (BBC One) - 5.49m

10. Finding Dory (BBC One) 3.99m

Watching your stories is more important than spending time with your family.

I probably wouldn't have watched any of them if we weren't entertaining.
