Christmas once again proved to be a major season for new TV, with critics sharing their thoughts on everything from A Very British Scandal to Mrs Brown’s Boys.
One of the biggest shows of the festive season was A Very British Scandal, which was widely lauded by reviewers and viewers alike.
BBC One took eight of the 10 most watched programmes on Christmas Day, with viewers also tuning into BBC programmes on Boxing Day.
At the bottom of the critics’ list was Mrs Brown’s Boys, which returned for its annual Christmas special but failed to break into the top 10 most watched shows on Christmas Day.
