Ratings UK

 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.

 Overnight Ratings: Christmas 2020 & Christmas 2019 Overnight ratings, or viewing in general over the Christmas period isn't quite the ratings bonanza it used to be. One show might jump above the rest, but it's a rare spectacle. 2020 saw the return of numerous festive specials, just like the year before, so this just provides a quick method to analyse the data.  All these figures are those released by overnights.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. The 2020 special had 3.81 million watching, down from 2019's 4.63 million (a decrease of 0.82 million).

  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! Below is a tag that explains which episodes I will not be reacting to since they are missing. As it shows, The Wheel in Space may or may not appear in my review since so much of the visual is still missing. 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. Judging an episode from the 1960's with the same expectation of a modern episode would not be fair. Below is my gra
