X Factor and Gavin & Stacey being the only non-sporting shows in the top 10.

:skull: X Factor starting the decade with over 17 million and ending with over 1 million

Gavin and Stacey the most watched scripted show of the 2010's


:clap1:

i watched all 10 of those

London 2012 deserved winner! The opening/closing ceremonies were absolutely incredible.

London 2012 was magical.

Pretty crazy 4 out of 10 of those are from 2018’s world cup, and that doesn’t take into account people watching in pubs etc and peoples homes which idek how much that would amount to.

Is it how many television sets or how many actual viewers? Cuz does anyone know how they’d measure the latter?

And what a fall from grace the x factor has had

:clap1:

We don’t talk about the iconic summer 2018 world cup/love island/heatwave experience enough

It is crazy to think how massive x factor was back in the day
Was 2010 the year matt cardle won? Cher Lloyd was robbed!

Did danni minogue bring the ratings then?

Yeah it was a fab summer!

It really was. :clap1: Take me back to 2012!

Yeah that was the year with Matt Cardle, One Direction and Cher Lloyd. Back when it was a brilliant show worth watching.

Not to mention Cheryl taking Katie Waissel through to live shows and not taking Gamu through.....

I miss the good x factor days

Iconic summer

:clap1: :clap1:

totally agree
