Dead Man's Chest (Boxing Day 2008, 8.30pm) 6.79m/31.0%
At World's End (Boxing Day 2009, 7.30pm) 6.06m/27.3%
On Stranger Tides (Sunday 29th Dec 2013, 8pm) 5.40m/22.6%
.”
That was a repeat. It premiered on Boxing Day 2006 to a massive 10m.

It went down to 9.4m in the finals because Scotland aired it a half hour later.
