Didn't BBC put Miranda on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day two years ago? Last night's line up was poor.

Surprised about Bond tbh. Thought that was more Boxing Day fare

Neck and neck for the top two soaps it's going to be close

What did Vicar Of Finley get Ronant?

Won't rate halfas well next year in the same slot especially as I would not be surpaied to see Great British Bake Off on BBC1 next Christmas Eve.

Eastenders usually gains more casual viewers on Christmas Day espescally as Corrie is less must see this year. Think Eastenders will beat Corrie by anything up 0.7.
Corrie did quite portly really for normal slot episode. I wonder What Eastenders got on BBc3.

Mrs Brown's Boys was on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day in 2012. The Christmas Eve episode was mostly watched over Christmas. There was also Outnumbered on Christmas Eve. That was a great Christmas Eve schedule. BBC1's was rubbish this year post EastEnders.

Anything for 101 Dalmations yesterday? Thanks!

Wow! 7.13m for Skyfall is brilliant.

The soaps hovering at around 6-7m isn't great. Doesn't bode well for tonight with them dominating primetime. EE did hold up well against Skyfall though.

A very Happy Christmas to all on this thread!

2.85m 13.9%. From 8.30 to 10.55 the schedule totally bombed. EastEnders help up well against Skyfall but really the worst BBC1 Christmas Eve in years. We all said it looked bad but I thought ratings would hold up a bit better than that.

Also, delighted that the soaps missed out on the number one slot last night. Look forward to that being repeated tonight and tomorrow.

Corrie I don't think has been most watched programe on Chrismtas Day for a long while and the BBC comedy wins it most years anyway.

Not very good for the soaps, is it?

Fantastic for Skyfall, Toy Story 3 and Mrs Browns Boys.

I know Corrie was not on last Christmas Eve but I wonder what it got two years ago.

At least Eastenders didn't collapse. Apart from Mrs Browns Boys and Miranda I think there is just going to be a lot of c7m figures tonight. Miranda has easier opposition so should get 9m and Mrs Browns Boys looks sure to win the day.

Very surprised at that Skyfall rating and BBC.

How did Santa Claus: The Movie do on ITV at 4:05pm? If you have time, thanks

EastEnders held up well, ITV soaps had dire ratings, truly dire.

Sensational for Skyfall. 2m higher than I was expecting.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

That MBB rating is another standout for me. It'll top the night I reckon.

Over 8m I believe. It is so poor and weak right now, its going to get mauled on Christmas Day. I think ITV are in trouble with regards to Corrie. It could arrive in the NY with very low ratings.

Full round-up above. Unclear what has happened with tape-checking, but it doesn't make a big difference given the gulf between the two channels last night.

Two stand outs: Skyfall as mentioned, brilliant rating, which makes me wonders whether terrestrial TV film premières are coming back to life, or whether this is simply good schedule.

Secondly, Mrs Brown's Boys peaking with nearly 5 million at 23:30! Surely must be making some revise their #1 prediction for today...

Wow at the rating for Skyfall, much higher than anyone expected.

So much for nobody having time to watch such a long film on Christmas Eve!

Surprised how poor BBC1 did, those one off festive treats usually rate really well.

I think Skyfall finishing at 10.45pm delivered MBB with an audience looking for something to watch.

Thanks DMN for the round up.

I think Avengers Assemble could do well now. Perhaps 6m+?

BBC One got the figures it deserved - poor scheduling and it was never going to be enough to stand against Skyfall. Everyone said this all along.

Eastenders beat corrie without +1. Very Low for corrie indeed. And Eastenders beat Corrie if you add BBC3 through we never get the ITV2 repeat figures. Emmerdale is going to be nearer 4m than 5m tonight.

Fab rating for Skyfall. EastEnders held up reasonably well.

What is going on with Emmerdale?

EastEnders held up very well. The show is consistent ratings wise atm.

Merry Christmas to you all
