It means Wallace & Gromit have beaten Gavin & Stacey, which was already the most watched episode of television since modern records began in 2002.

Astounding figures.

And it means that Wallace & Gromit is the most watched animation on British TV since modern records began too.

Yet we still don’t know what Wallace and Gromit got up to on that fishing trip.

Wasn't this quashed and they found it was a 2002 ep of Coronation Street? I saw something floating around about that

robinparker.bsky.social•37 days ago

an animated ep? I'd watch that...

Whoops, sorry thought I replied to the second post!

scottygb.bsky.social•37 days ago

well I’m going by what the BBC has said, rather than attempting this myself.

I’m pretty sure the BBC wouldn’t make it up either.

And neither show was a guaranteed success. They both needed nurturing. The BBC is brilliant at doing that.

I've watched it several times already. Always spot something new

What’s the logic behind saying modern records beginning in 2002? I know the BBC did it in a press release, but what’s behind that? 1981 usually the date used, and e.g the 2017 methodological changes are huge. Much bigger than anything in 2002. Genuine question.

Wallace & Gromit requires several watches to find all the little gems hidden in almost every scene!! Gavin & Stacey can be done in a single one 🤔

nickpchurch.bsky.social•36 days ago

I've never really understood the appeal of Wallace and Gromit. Clearly it's just me looking at those viewing figures!!

hoooooooo....!!! That's the sort of record that's not meant to be _possible_ anymore!
