Jesus rejoices. I have it on good authority that Jesus is a big EastEnders fan, and loves nothing more on his birthday, to watch EastEnders, legend has it some of his later work is based on situations he has seen in EastEnders.
Funny

I'll be back tomorrow for the ratings Post Mortem.

Merry Christmas

That Mrs Brown's Boys rating is the biggest non-soap rating on Christmas Eve since the beginning of this thread, so at least 2005.

The Strictly Christmas Special 2005 had 9.33m in the officials, but i don't know the overnight, but MBB will beat that. Shrek has an official of 9.51m in 2004, but again that will probably be beaten.

The Mummy with an official of 11.1m in 2002 will beat it though.

So we can pretty much say, excluding EastEnders and Corrie it was the most watched programme on Christmas Eve in 10 years.
Blimey! That's quite the achievement for Mrs Brown's Boys!

Two better rating episodes and suddenly it's the nations favourite soap again Jesus wept.

Beaten by Mrs Browns Boys, dented by the opposition, it will drop again after Xmas and it will not beat DA, CTM or SCD will be the number one show today with DA coming a respectable third. If EE gets 9m tonight then they better make the most of it because it will soon return to the 7m levels

Spoiler
Wrong on so many levels. The Secret is something HUGE if you saw the episode last night Derek rang someone and Said 'Max Branning is in Albert Square....blah,blah,blah'
And whatever it is it happened in Manchester during Max's break last year.

I doubt it.....looking at 2nd week of Jan EastEnders is looking very strong.

Mrs Brown is a beast, think it and Miranda will prove a strong pair. The films did good for BBC One.

I think Toy Story could be the highest rated programme before 15:00 today. Could give ITV a helping hand with the rest of the late afternoon and evening line up.

I said a few months ago that Miranda and Mrs Brown's Boys would get 10m for their Christmas shows. It's looking likely for MBB.

I'm sure I read somewhere BBC ONE are planning to show these 2 shows in the Monday 9-10pm hour through January. Is that right? If so, that's going to be a tough combination to beat.

Talking of which, RIP Royal Bodyguard

Up against Lewis. Lewis is now something of a routine crime drama but it's very well produced and it's still capable of pulling a decent audience. I predict that Lewis will be number 1 in the ITV1+1 chart and that it, Miranda and Mrs Brown will be three of the top five shows in timeshift.

Apart from Titanic, no brand new series on Itv1 has rated over 5million in 2012 overnights. As someone said at the Edinburgh festival this year, has 4million become the new 5million for Itv1?
Is that for drama or programmes in general for ITV?

Lewis will do decent numbers but I can't see it beating Mrs Brown's Boys and Miranda. And Miranda will provide a much better lead in for Mrs Brown's Boys than The Royal Bodyguard ever did.

Apart from a couple one offs and first episode of Titanic, nothing brand new on Itv1 has got over 5million excluding +1 this year in overnigt ratings. [Sports not included obviously]

Good news for all those complaining about the BBC promoting ITV shows too much - today's BBC Breakfast features features on Call The Midwife and the Doctor's new companion. Plugs for two of BBC1's biggest Christmas Day shows.
Yes the fact Breakfast had features on Call The Midwife and Doctor Who in the final hour of a Christmas Eve show that was watched by 1.6m should appease a few people on here.

Meanwhile, the Mirror's big report on tomorrow's CTM says that the second series starts in January, but I don't know if that's firm knowledge or just wild speculation on the Mirror's part. With Blandings confirmed for Sundays from January 13th, I'm thinking that a schedule of Blandings, Call The Midwife and Ripper Street on one night would be serious period drama overload. The Sun's article on CTM doesn't seem to mention series 2 at all.
They have a screening of the first episode of series 2 of Midwife on January 11th I think, so it could be on later in the month.

Huge numbers for MBB. A fantastic rating. Also brilliant for Outnumbered. A series high. Solid for the soaps with EE pulling ahead of Corrie, but only just.

Tomorrow mornings going to be very interesting!

Merry Christmas everyone!

it occurs to me, that people may not have been focusing enough on the plot of Sherk, to realise what a dreadful movie it is, my mother watched it without realising it, so their is hope for the BBC yet.

oh and sorry I suggested that Tangled was a BBC film, earlier looking on Digiguide earlier I realised my mistake.

Tangled seems to be getting more of a buzz on Twitter than Shrek, I wonder if the two will be closer in ratings than we thought!

Tangled is the better film but I think Shrek will edge it . 2013 I think ITV should show Despicable Me but not against Toy Story 3 but schedule it after.

It's an all time high for both MBB and Outnumbered I believe

I think Downton will have more than 8.5m, we should be looking at nearer to 10m. Same for CTM.

The Queen's Speech will be the most interesting out of them all, and whether it'd boost TOTP's audience (by people tuning in early for it).

RE last night, BBC One had the largest primetime with 25.3%, followed by ITV1 with 15.7%, BBC Two with 9.8%, Channel 4 on 7.6% and Channel 5 on 4%.

On another social network website Zeebox, Shrek won with 100% audience compared to Tangled's 80%.

I expect Shrek will edge it.

As for the future, the BBC should have Puss in Boots, to fill the void left by Shrek, not sure todays Shrek will stand as many repeats as the others.

Pleased Mrs Browns Boys did so well.

I realise it's not for everyone and some people just don't get it, but it's extremely popular and definitely deserves more credit & hype than it gets.

Should have been nominated for more in the British Comedy Awards just gone and definitely in the BAFTAs. Some people have a real snobbish attitude when it comes to comedy which is very narrow minded & unfair.

To get nearly 9m viewers, more than the soaps & many XFactor episodes - shows held up as the nations major shows - is some achievement.

Be great if EE got an overnight of over 10m tonight. Looks a good ep.
I think 10m will be a bridge too far for an EastEnders overnight. As a final rating perhaps.
