When England won the world cup.

Yepp, so as I know it was:

1. England winning World Cup 1966- 32.30m
2. Princess Diana's Funeral 1996- 32.10m
3. British Royal Documentary- 30.69m
4. Angie and Den Divorce Xmas 1986- 30.15m

Sorry to be random and horrible but I never support England as a team, everyone says to me "**** off out of this country then!" but I always have and always will support Italy, England would be like my 8th choice to win!

Channel 4, some records, i think??

1. BB3 Finale peak at over 10m (2002)
2. Friends Last ever episode averaged at over 9m (May 2004)

Worldwide Events:

1. Live 8- 3b (50% of world population)
2.Princess Diana's Funeral- 2.5b (about 45% of the world population)

I don't really care about International Football. I've been turning to Spain recently though, but that's just because they have a lot of Liverpool players playing for them, only Gerrard for England now

I doubt many rating will get as high as that again..

Considering back then we had what, 4 or 5 channels to pick from, now there are hundreds!

Ratings will never be that high. The highest ratings can be will be around 15m-18m now, thats for the soaps at Christmas, reality tv finale's (X Factor, BGT) and maybe some big event eg. If England were to be in a finale of the Euro/World Cup.

But Wallace and Gromit on Xmas Day 2008 got 20 million viewers!!! Very shocked at that, was the highest rating in 2008.
