Watching the Christmas Day TV was once as important as the turkey dinner, with more than 20million viewers tuning in to blockbuster films and comedy specials.
But shows this year will be lucky to get audiences half that size, as new analysis reveals just how festive TV has fallen out of fashion.
Ratings for the most-watched show on Christmas Day have dipped by nearly a quarter this decade and more than a third since 2000.
Last year's most-watched Christmas Day show was Call The Midwife with 9.6million viewers. By contrast, 21.8million viewers saw the TV premiere of Crocodile Dundee (pictured) in 1989
The decline is even steeper when comparing 2017 with 1997 (down 41 per cent) and 1987 (50 per cent). Last year's most-watched programme on Christmas Day was Call The Midwife on BBC1, which had an audience of 9.6million. By contrast, 21.8million saw the TV premiere of Crocodile Dundee in 1989 – the biggest single audience for a Christmas Day broadcast since comparable records began in 1981.
The figures, compiled by Barb, show that Coronation Street enjoyed 14.6million viewers for its Christmas Day episode in 2000, but managed just 10.8million in 2011. The current ratings system began in 1981. While Morecambe and Wise's 1977 Christmas show was reportedly watched by 28million people, the figure was based on a BBC audience survey and is not comparable with today's data.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
