Christmas Day saw the television schedules filled with festive specials, as television bosses attempted to win the festive ratings battle.
A couple of decades ago, audiences of 20 million people would be the target for television bosses, whereas last year the most-watched programme was The King’s Christmas Broadcast with 5.9 million viewers.
The popularity of streaming means that terrestrial television audiences are a fraction of what they were, but this year saw one programme buck the trend and attract a huge audience.
And for the the first year ever, all ten of the most-watched programmes were broadcast on BBC1.
Here are all 10.
