Christmas Day 2013 was the first time Mrs Brown's Boys aired on Christmas Day, and has remained there ever since.
The problem for me is it is a programme where it's quality of writing has plummeted with every Christmas Day since then, along with a decline in ratings - surely this was a sign that it needed to at least move out of Christmas Day?
Christmas 2013 saw it gain a whopping 11.5 million viewers, so it deserved a Christmas night slot. Christmas 2021 it has plummeted to 4.6 million viewers. Yes, overnight audiences are decreasing, but that is a marked drop over the space of 8 years.
