‘Outnumbered’ & ‘Call The Midwife’ Lead Solid Boxing Day For BBC After Christmas Day Ratings Bonanza


The Boxing Day ratings saw the BBC's 'Call The Midwife' & 'Outnumbered' perform well against ITV's 'The 1% Club' and 'Masked Singer'

OutnumberedBBC/Hat Trick Productions/Adam Lawrence The Christmas specials of the long-running BBC shows both peaked with around 4M viewers, placing them first and second on the Boxing Day list. Improv comedy Outnumbered, which has followed the journey of two parents and their three kids from when they were little to adulthood, hadn’t been on British TV screens for eight years until last night at 9.40 p.m. GMT (1.40 p.m. PT) to 10.20 p.m. Its last outing, a Christmas special in 2016, attracted around 1M more viewers than last night although this was a somewhat different linear viewing landscape. These numbers will likely shoot up this week as audiences take to iPlayer to catch up on the Christmas viewing they have missed.
