There was very little new material on BBC on Xmas day. The majority of
BBC
viewers are over 60.

I went for a couple of repeats where I hadn't seen them first time round.
And the Queen, of course.

why of course?

it would be the first program in the schedule that I would mark down to miss
and I am not a "republican"

The fact that you feel the need to question the tastes of others, your
general sentiments, and your spelling of 'programme', tell me a lot
about you.

Possibly the age group most likely to watch The Queen is also most likely to be watching broadcast TV rather than streaming.

Maybe, maybe not, as my very elderly mother put it on via Iplayer on her
telly when we got back from going out for Christmas dinner on Christmas
day evening.

She hardly uses her PVR at all now and instead uses the the catch up
services.



Broadcasters still seem to assume a "family" viewing demographic for Christmas day programming, when in reality anyone from 5 - 55 is probably watching online or gaming.

OK, I am only 54, but would do you assume us older folk do not game or
use Netflix?

After all, "we" and those older than me invented the base platforms for
all this modern technology to exist at all.

It would therefore seem to be you who is behind the times. :-)

As do you.

your general sentiments

And yours.

Chambers Dictionary gives it as an alternative spelling.

Only for the alternative meaning, and for the US.

Because earlier in this thread I said I had watched the Queen.

I bet we don't show in the BBC's viewing figures because of the way we
watched most of the BBC's Christmas day programmes on Boxing day and the
day after.

That's what the 'consolidated' figures give. The viewers panel BARB
uses takes timeshift (PVR) and streaming (iplayer) into account.

Brian, there was almost nothing worth watching on terrestrial tv
on Christmas day this year.

What was extra-terrestial TV like?

Ignoring the facetious aspect, there was a time when TV channels were
either terrestrial or satellite, so 'terrestrial' was a convenient and
meaningful term. That is no longer the case.

I watched most of this Xmas TV programmes 10-20 years ago.

Now what is not clear on the item I heard on the radio is whether it
covers.
People time shifting stuff as most things are on at once
People who are viewing online.
Also they say the most watched program was the Queen.
Ironic as its recorded before the day of course, but as its short is
probably why they watched it, then back to their facebook and x box.
There are these days so many ways to use your time and so much crap TV that
I find it rather un surprising that the TV was not watched as much.
