RATINGS REVISITED
Here are the 10 most watched programmes on Christmas Day 20 years ago:
1) The Two Ronnies (18.48m viewers)
2) The Queen (BBC) (17.35m)
3) Only Fools and Horses (16.92m)
4) All Creatures Great and Small (15.36m)
5) Top of the Pops Christmas Party (14.74m)
6) Coronation Street (14.32m)
7) Hi-De-Hi! (14.01m)
8) Moonraker (13.98m)
9) Minder on the Orient Express (12.51m)
10) Wogan (12.24m)
Any nominations for what'll end up on top this year, and by how many? Doctor Who will be in there somewhere, of course, but where? At the moment, and this is without having yet seen the Xmas RT, 12m sounds a good bet.

The Christmas night schedule is perhaps the most transparent 'after you' festive arrangement ever. ITV clearly wins 6pm with Emmerdale over My Family, BBC1 (probably) wins 7pm with Who over Millionaire, ITV wins 8pm with Corrie over Boycie, BBC1 wins 9pm with EastEnders over The Booze Cruise. It's the festive equivalent of them divvying up the World Cup.
It feels like neither channel is really likely to get motoring on the big night. Neither really feels like a schedule you want to curl up in front of all night - expedience and pragmatism win out. It's scheduling mutually assured destruction. Whatever happened to the black arts of scheduling?
