BBC basically sitting unchallenged on Christmas Day, absolutely owning it. The politicians who like to speak about how irrelevant it is in an age of Netflix might want to take a moment to reflect.

Gavin & Stacey on 12.3 million average (12.5m peak) was Britain's most watched live broadcast on Christmas Day in a decade and a half since Wallace & Gromit got 14m in 2008.

Honestly it's a joy to watch.
Wallace and Gromit, Mortimer and Whitehouse...etc etc
People who criticise it should watch the dross on TV here.
We are so lucky to have BBC *
*Laura Kuntsburg excepted
Bravo BBC !
Same old, same old.
If you don't like Netflix, fine. Don't use it.
Netflix has a huge library of TV and film that cater for everyone, all over the world, including non English content.
If the management were not so keen on screwing it up it would be doing very well for itself.
That's me. It's only "fun" if I win. Apparently, that's not the point
I'd pay for a separate BBC news & current affairs, but the restriction on watching *any* live TV, including internet channels, is totally outdated.
I didn’t watch any of these productions because they simply do not reflect any of my interest.
Christmas Eve we watched Hateful 8 on Prime and last night the whole family wanted to watch Alien: Romulus.🤷🏻♂️
Anyway, hope you’re having a merry Christmas.
Pretty much everything in that list is just continuation of older stuff.
BBC has its place but it is a dinosaur.

's screening of the other version of 'The Railway Children' (2000), in which Jenny Agutter plays the mother!
Thus BBC was probably top of the streamers as well.
BBC is a public service. No profit in that.
Just like our NHS the men in suits have been trying to get rid of it for decades.
Figures are nothing compared to Morecambe and Wise getting 30 million back in the 70s when there were only three channels and no streaming.
Do you think that there may, possibly, be a clue there?
The BBC has owned Christmas Day viewing.
Personally I wouldn’t bother with any of the others, let’s just say they’re not my cup of tea.
Auntie's last great sitcoms (Ghosts & Motherland) have finished, and there are no newer laughs to be found in this week's TV listings. That doesn't bode well.
