Also, now pretty damned certain it won't be a white Christmas, with no snow day ratings likely in the foreseeable.
However, the weather does look like being appallingly wet for the next week at least. I would imagine the Washout Christmas could keep people indoors and in front of the box. A post lunch walk on the big day isn't so appealing when lashing it down. So that may boost Shrek and Doctor Who. |

I thought the reason Christmas day viewing was done over the last 10-15 years is that people are too busy playing video games or watching DVDs.
Regardless of the weather, I doubt we will see any programme top 12m (if even that) |

One show we haven't much discussed is The Snowman and Snowdog. It has been getting lots of preview space and brilliant write ups in the quality papers. And I noticed today its got pride of place on the front of the festive RT!
![]() When did a non BBC show ever feature on the front of the Christmas RT? I can only think of a handful of BBC ones that have to be fair. Anyway, I think it could produce the ratings shock of the festive season, even against Corrie and Merlin. Could it get 7m? 8m? 10m? Look at Wallace and Gromit 4 years ago - 14.4m on the night, 16.2m official (24m inc +1*) (* plus 1 week, that is... ) |

The editor of RT was on Chris Evans' Radio 2 show the other day and he said that putting The Snowman And The Snowdog on the front cover of the Christmas issue was an easy decision.
The Snowman is old-fashioned animation and that fits in with the style of the RT Christmas covers. I'll wager there have been quite a few snowmen on the RT Christams front cover over the years. And there are three ITV programmes among the Christmas Day choices - Corrie, O'Grady, and Downton. Downton is joint Pick Of The Day with Midwife but Midwife gets the big picture. I had to double-take to realise Downton was featured as well. |

seemed okay, not as entertaining as Last Tango (which I watched for the first time) |

Has EE actually lost viewers, or are people just not watching as often?
It may not be must see TV day in day out, but at Christmas those viewers may come back. |

Is it down? Not sure if it is, obviously individual programmes and channels are down, but is TV viewing as a whole down? Correct me if i'm wrong!
I'm going by vague recollections of a press report years ago, saying that Christmas day viewing was down (not the most scientific thing)

Okay, having just gone back through the Olympics in this thread, the above statement is not actually true - A Touch of Frost on Closing Ceremony night had under 1m. But it is definitely the lowest in normal circumstances.

I'm sure I read somewhere last years lowish ratings was because Christmas day fell on a sunday and when that happens its always lower than other days, may be a myth of course and I don't know how anyone could prove that theory anyway.
..... anyhoo, here's some more ratings Emmers - 6333 + 481 EE - 7502 Holby - 5080 Last Tango - 6212 Great BB Xmas - 3255 Inside Guinness WR - 1737 + 118 Bad Santas (is that a rpt?) - 864k Body of Proof - 1284 The Chase - 3233 + 220 Pointless Celebs - 3044 as ever I DON'T POST +1 FIGS!!!!! |

Hope this is the first in a run of Flopzone Tuesdays for ITV...
![]() At least the Christmas Night News should beat that next Tuesday. |

I would have thought the opposite would happen, Sunday is generally a good day for viewing figures. If Christmas fell on that day, people aren't really changing the daily patterns (as they'd be indoors anyway)

Another good rating for Last Tango hopefully people remember it's on tonight. Good to see a show with minimal promotion do so well. |

Apart from landing the Parlympics and the Grand National, I can't think of anything outstanding Channel 4 has done this year. Also their one really big hit, Gypsy Weddings, has been cancelled which will really hurt them next month. Oh well there's always more CDWM and DOND to fill the gaps.

Not a great night of ratings. Eastenders seems to have lost a good million or so viewers this year.
