 UK TV Viewing Figures  (14 December - 20 December 2020) Strictly Come Dancing charged ahead of competition by millions. Gino, Gordon and Fred performed well for ITV. Christmas Films are beginning to build in viewership.  All figures are shown in this format "0.00 (0.00)" which indicates two separate figures. The first one is the viewership on TV alone. The second figure that's bracketed is for 'All platforms' which includes PC, tablet and mobile viewing. This second figure is a much more accurate depiction of viewership in the UK. All figures are in millions unless shown as '000k.' All figures are courtesy of BARB TV.

They are classed as unofficial because they incorporate live viewing only.  2020 Overnight Ratings 2019 Overnight Ratings Most shows were down on last year. One show that took a knock was EastEnders, down 1.93 million on 2019's figures and down from 4th to 9th on the chart. EastEnders has took quite a few knocks this year. Ratings are regularly hanging at the 4 to 5 million mark for official figures. This fits that trend.  Mrs Brown's Boys dropped.

  Doctor Who: The Big Review Season 5 (1967-68) Patrick Troughton is well into his tenure as The Doctor now. Season 5 is his season to shine before his last adventures as The Doctor. He'll face some terrifying foes like the Ice Warriors, the Cybermen and the Great Intelligence. We'll also see the introduction of Zoe Heriot, something I was looking forward to since Patrick Troughton's tenure began. Let's get into the review!

It'll be dependent on the overarching quality and whether I feel I can make a fair judgement on little content.  As always, I will grade each story on an A+ to F scale, judging it fairly, and with respect to the era it aired.
