Default Highest rating shows of the year

And all you haters of Ant & Dec, celebrities and My Family best look away now. I think we can expect more of the same for the foreseeable future. On the documentaries front (Palin etc), the BBC claimed 8 out of the 10 highest ratings.

THE X FACTOR FINAL RESULTS: 11.7m
BRITAIN'S GOT TALENT - THE LIVE FINAL: 11.0m
STRICTLY COME DANCING: 10.4m
DANCING ON ICE: THE FINAL: 9.6m
COMIC RELIEF: THE BIG ONE: 9.5m
I'M A CELEBRITY... GET ME OUT OF HERE!: 8.7m
ANY DREAM WILL DO: 7.9m
THE ROYAL VARIETY PERFORMANCE: 7.3m
THE NATIONAL LOTTERY DRAWS: 7.3m
ANT & DEC'S SATURDAY NIGHT T'AWAY: 7.0m

Top comedy
THE VICAR OF DIBLEY: 12.3m
MY FAMILY: 7.2m
THE GREEN GREEN GRASS: 6.4m
HARRY HILL'S TV BURP: 6.0m
AFTER YOU'VE GONE: 5.8m
BENIDORM: 5.3m
OUTTAKE TV: 5.0m
RUDDY HELL! IT'S HARRY AND PAUL: 4.8m
ALL NEW JUST FOR LAUGHS: 4.5m
LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE: 4.5m

Two votes for Harry Hill .... I have never understood why people find him funny. Any explanation would be welcome.

Viewers tastes in television seem to be the same around the world.
The most recent top ten rated shows in Australia were ALL reality based shows.

Surprised to see the 'Vicar Of Dibley' as the UK's biggest show of the year. We have recently seen those "new" episodes in Australia - and to put it mildly they were tripe.
Why, oh why, did they try to revive the show with such a bad script?

Dave.
