Big Christmas Eve for BBC

### BBC sweeps the board with nine of the top ten shows on Christmas Day in 2023

> BBC’s Strictly special was the most popular show on Christmas Day in 2023 with 5.3 million viewers (excluding The King’s Christmas broadcast).
> 
> BBC dominated the ratings with nine out of the top ten most watched shows as audiences chose the BBC across the day for a spectacular range of new episodes of their favourite shows, and the figures will grow as viewers catch up on iPlayer.
> 
> BBC One was by far the biggest channel on the day, over double the next-biggest competitor with over 27% of broadcast viewing. It saw its highest share since 2019 (Gavin & Stacey), and was also higher than any other year since 2010. BBC One was also bigger than the whole SVOD market combined on Christmas Day on TV.
> 
> Charlotte Moore, BBC’s Chief Content Officer says : “Bringing people together at Christmas matters to audiences and securing nine of the top ten shows demonstrates how much they value the BBC’s Christmas Day line-up. We entertained viewers in their millions on Christmas Day with a range of quality programmes you really can’t find anywhere else to wrap up an outstanding year of creative content on the BBC.”
