Great figure for IAC - I was expecting about 11m too based on Strictly being up 1m y-o-y. Unsurprisingly, Small Axe flopped with just 1.1m against IAC. I've not watched it but it was an important commission from a big name so I don't think they'll be too bothered by the poor overnight rating.

You can do it France :cheeseblock: This honestly gets better and better - it was such a smart move to get a hit in the French speaking world.

Him leaving has made me wonder if a trade deal has been agreed that he’s not happy with?

Leona the 4th highest Christmas song on Apple *.*

So business as usual for Trump then

The Kat & Phil storyline is genius :lol: Today was actual comedy gold

The Repair Shop (BBC One) - 5.7m (29.2%) Masterchef: The Professionals (BBC One) - 4.3m (24.5%) The Chase (ITV) - 4.8m (33.4%) Masterchef: The Professionals up over 1m from Tuesday - clearly damaged by going against Bake Off. It's also a good increase from its last series on BBC Two so clearly justified in the move to BBC One. The Chase reached its highest ever overnight yesterday! Incredible rating for a teatime show.

Bake Off is doing so well. It's perfect viewing for 2020 so I'm not surprised to see people flocking to watch it for some escapism. I really hope/think 8m could be in reach for the final!

Morrisons being responsible for this getting a top 10 peak :cheeseblock:

Levitating is now top 5 on iTunes (#5 & #36). The power of Morrisons!!

ITV released their festive highlights today, so I thought that would be a good opportunity to open this year's Christmas TV discussion thread. The BBC is due to release their festive highlights in a couple of weeks. ITV - full details are here. Britain's Got Talent at Christmas The Masked Singer (series 2) The Story of SM:TV Live Birds of a Feather Beat The Chasers The Chase: Celebrity Christmas Special The Cube Celebrity Special In For a Penny Christmas Special Billy Connelly: It's Been a Pleasure... Jennifer Saunders' Memory Lane Who Wants to be a Millionaire The Price Is Right It's Clarkson on TV The Big Quiz: Corrie v Emmerdale Bradley Walsh's How To Win a Game Show Gary Barlow's Night at the Museum The Real Monty on Ice Gordon, Gino and Fred: Desperately Seeking Santa Stephen Fry’s 21st Century Firsts Dancing on Thin Ice with Torvill & Dean Happy Birthday Mr Bean The Savoy at Christmas ITV seem to have made more of an effort than last year, which was basically entirely soaps, quizzes and films. It's Clarkson on TV sounds like a rip-off of Charlie Brooker's show on the BBC :lol: For the first time, ITV is also planning to air Good Morning Britain, Lorraine and This Morning on Christmas Day (!)

Is it too late to make "pov" the second single :o

A second run of Beat The Chasers is due to air this Christmas *.*

Hermine star baker again *.* Her showstopper was amazing!!

tbf the actors have the correct age gap for the characters they're playing!

It's a smash with the French speaking locals *.*

Wow @ "pov" !! Hoping it can take off in a big way, which seems possible with it charting this early!

A very bold prediction (!) Sarah Montague's reaction is cute and relatable at least. @1325832814634340353
