As the broadcasting behemoths of the Winter season wind down, some big figures. The final of I'm A Celebrity was watched by an average of 11.1m viewers - an audience share of 48.7%. It's the highest rating final for five years.
The Strictly semi-final results show attracted an average of 9m (40.3%).
The Doctor Who/Jodie Whittaker first series wrapped up with 5.32m (26.4%). There's a New Year's Day Special to come. Now show-runner Mr Chibnall has to re-group. His first effort was rather scatter-gun in its themes, and lacked any sense of development or real tension between the new Doctor and her trio of side-kicks. He needs a returning set of villains to build suspense and heebie-jeebies, whilst creating episodes that still work in isolation. Tricky, but if he could plot the first series of Broadchurch, he ought to be able to improve - with less use of the sonic screwdriver.
