Too many children watching. We're doomed!

[Stephen Morgan]

A respectable enough figure, about what I expected.

[Milky Tears]

8.7million is slightly higher than I was expecting. I thought Doctor Who and Emmerdale would both get about 7-8million on overnights... especially with Deal or No Deal in the same slot. At least Doc Martin can no longer claim to be the UK's most popular TV Doctor.

at the end of the day no matter how popular these game shows are doing they are all ways going to finish well down the ratings when they go up against the family programms on Christmas Day..

8.7m and 5th most watched programmis a still very respectable rating that the BBC will be more than happy with-- but Vicar of Dibley most watched programm with 11.4m..

[Pip Madeley]

Not bad, but the way they were hyping it you'd expect double figures.

[Si Hunt]

It's all our fault - we missed Who because we were having a quiz, but Mum insisted on watching Dibley.

Si.

[Alex]

That's pretty respectable, I thought it would be closer to 10 million, but then bar the soaps and Dibley, the figures for everything else weren't that impressive - I bet the Beeb will be a bit surprised that Little Britain didn't do better.

Oh, and yeah, Dibley the highest rated programme of the day? How did that happen? I thought it did fairly okay ratings wise normally, but i didn't realise it was ever that popular...

77 … 0.5 ( 2.2%) …. Ricky Gervais Meets... Christopher Guest (22:00) CH 4

I bet C4 will be flummoxed by this one too...

18 …. 3.6 (25.8%) …. The Green Green Grass (15:00) BBC1

But on the plus side, surely the bbc must cancel this rubbish now...even the Queen got 2 million more viewers!

[Larry]

it was in fact more than i was expecting I though going up against Emerdale I was predicting a ratings figure some thing similar better figures we got during the series of around 7.5m..

[Milky Tears]

BBC News have updated their story:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6209697.stm

[Rob McCow]

Good, I reckon we won't be cancelled this year.

8.7m is a cool number of people. Especially when up against Emmerdale.

[Si Hunt]

I can't help but feel dissapointed with this rating - on ordinary terms, it's fantastic, but last year there was the suggestion that Who had almost become highlight-of-Christmas-Day new-Only-Fools-and-Horses type 10m chart-topping tradition. Now we're only just surfing above the ratings the last series got back in April (and this, the first episode for half a year) and being trumped by three soaps and a "Vicar of Dibley". I'd hoped for more.

However, it was up against one of the ratings big guns, and got more viewers too. If, for arguments sake, it had been up against Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, it would have probably broken the 10 million barrier. Would Eastenders have fared as well if it had been put up against Emmerdale? Probably not.

[Milky Tears]

It was up against two ratings big guns as Deal or No Deal was also on Channel 4 at the same time.

Channel 4 had given up by the time Corrie, EastEnders and Dibley were on.

[Paul Clement]

It was up against two ratings big guns as Deal or No Deal was also on Channel 4 at the same time.

So, even more reason to consider 8.7million viewers to be much more than a respectable outcome.

[Milky Tears]

Appreciation Index was 84 (same as the initial Christmas Invasion figure last year).


Solid overnights for the BBC Three repeat as well, considering it was up against the soaps on BBC1/ITV1 and football on Sky Sports 1:

Jon Rogers
11:25am

The final two episodes of BBC1's The Vicar of Dibley dominated the ratings over the Christmas period with the last ever episode on New Year's Day grabbing 12.3 million (44.9%).

The 60-minute sitcom from 9.30pm saw Dawn French's character Geraldine Granger marry Harry and hit a high of 12.6 million (43.8%) at 10pm.

The penultimate episode which aired at 9.30pm on Christmas Day wasn't too far behind, averaging a sizeable 12.2 million (47.1%).

BBC1 dominated the Christmas ratings by claiming the top five positions in the most watched programmes list.

As well as the Dibley double bill the final of Strictly Come Dancing on Saturday 23 December pulled in a hefty 10.7 million (48%) for the main show at 5.40pm, while the results show, at 9.30pm had 11.9 million (46.9%) for 40 minutes.

BBC1 also claimed the prize for the most popular soap with the Christmas Day edition of EastEnders at 9pm, which featured the death of Pauline Fowler, taking just over 11 million (43.7%). The most popular edition of ITV1's Coronation Street attracted 10.5 million (40.2%) on New Year's Day at 7.30pm.

ITV1 soap Emmerdale also again proved to be a ratings banker with the most popular edition on 29 December taking 9 million (39.5%) in a 7.30pm slot. Compilation show The Funny Side of the Street, which showed some of the funniest scenes from old episodes of Coronation Street, gained a respectable 7.2 million (33.3%).

BBC1 broke the 10 million mark for its Boxing Day film Pirates of the Caribbean: the Curse of the Black Pearl. The premiere starring Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley averaged 10.2 million (42.3%) from 7.30pm.

The corporation also found popular success with Doctor Who on Christmas Day taking 9.3 million (37.8%) from 7pm and Little Britain Abroad , also on Christmas Day, with 8.7 million (37.7%) at 10.30pm.

C4 deals up game show bonanza

A tea time edition of hit game show Deal or No Deal was Channel 4's big hit of the festive season with 4.1 million (24.2%) watching the show on 29 December at 5pm. The Big Fat Quiz of the Year was the broadcaster's next most popular show with 2.9 million (13.5%) on 27 December in a key 9pm slot.

It Started with Swap Shop handed BBC2 its biggest show of the holiday as 4 million (18.4%) viewers got nostalgic on 28 December for just over two hours from 9pm. Earlier in the day at 5.40pm quiz show Weakest Link gained 3.9 million (20.7%).

The CSI franchise once again proved top dog for Five with the show comfortably grabbing the top three positions. CSI: Crime Scene Investigation on 30 December took the top spot with 2.4 million (14.6%) at 9.15pm while CSI Miami on 26 December wasn't too far behind with 2.2 million (8.9%) at 9pm. Taking third place was CSI: NY on Boxing Day with 2 million (9.8%) at 10pm.

Ooh does that mean Pirates of the Caribbean lost over half a million viewers from the overnights?

[SiHart]

9.35m is really very good! Hooray!

don't think that's quite as good as last years Christmas Special but you still have to pinch your self as it's still hard to believe that our once derided
programm is being shown on prime time christmas day tv and getting such fantastic viewing figures.
