‘Gavin & Stacey,’ ‘Wallace & Gromit’ and King Charles Top U.K. Christmas Day Ratings
Thoroughly British fare in the form of James Corden, Wallace and Gromit and King Charles II topped the 2024 U.K. Christmas Day ratings.
Meanwhile around 5 million people (44.8% of the audience) tuned in to watch King Charles II deliver his third annual Christmas speech, which was filmed in London’s Fitzrovia Chapel – rather than the traditional venue of a royal residence – earlier this month. In his speech the King reflected on the challenges faced by a rocky geo-political climate as well as those he and his family have undergone recently, with both Charles and his daughter-in-law Catherine, the Princess of Wales, having been diagnosed with cancer at the start of this year.
