Downton Abbey is the highest rating United Kingdom drama of the past decade across any channel, with an average of 11 million viewers over the course of the five series, including Christmas specials.
At 3PM, the Queen’s Christmas message seen by a total of 7.4 million viewers when you combine the BBC (6.1) and ITV (1.3) figures, down on 2014’s combined total of 7.8 million.
Sitting at table across from her former love-interest Bertie, who scarpered when Lady Mary revealed that Marigold was in fact Edith’s own daughter, the picture hints at a happy ending after all.
Other favourites being screened include Doctor Who, which recorded its smallest audience ever for a Christmas Day past year, while EastEnders saw its lowest ratings for a decade.
An hour-long EastEnders episode went head-to-head with the last two-hour installment of ITV’s period drama.
This video shows the team filming their final ever scenes at Highclere Castle, which acted as the magnificent aristocratic home Downton Abbey throughout the six series.
“We easily could have gone for a seventh season but if I’d have said “We haven’t got Maggie”, it would have been a shadow of itself”, he told the newspaper. “We had the ambition that we had a complete show”.
MillionsLLIONS of TV viewers will see a top North East attraction feature in this Christmas Day’s most talked about TV programme.
Other popular entertainment programmes on Christmas Day were the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special and Mrs Brown’s Boys.
The Dowager Countess, played by the scene-stealing Dame Maggie Smith, observes: “Every year we drink to the future, whatever it may bring”.
