    Who knows...last year's festive edition was the 2nd most watched show on Christmas Day last year. If the demand and popularity remains high they may well commission another.

    Oh, I see. Were the other Christmas specials part of a series then?

    Nope I think they just call them one off's as they aren't attached to any series or there ain't any more ep's in the immediate pipeline

    It all depends on ratings. Royle family can pull in 11-13 million people, I dont think G+S would be as popular maybe 9-11 million.

    But yeah I still think they will give it a rest next year

    The RF won't get anywhere near 11-13 million even the peaktime soaps will be lucky to get those sort of numbers today.

    I didnt say it would I said could pull in more figures. I think RF has a greater audience reach then G and S.

    I think RF will get about 10.3 tonight

    Hoping its a cracker. For me its been off the boil recently. There has been too much of an emphasis on Jim and the show works best round the telly or with a houseful of characters all chipping in.

    Fingers crossed.

    They should have ended it with Nana's death, thought last years was rubbish, but still watching it tonight.

    I'm loving Jim already - with his foot resting on the Roses tin and having a rant!
