Will Doctor Who reign supreme this Christmas?
December 16th, 2009
Sky Bet have today published their final Christmas Day ratings odds, which show that EastEnders is currently the bookies’ favourite to attract the highest audience this year.
Coming in at a close second place is part one of The End of Time, which has odds of 7/4.
However, Sky Bet’s spokeswoman Helen Jacob has revealed that she wouldn’t be surprised if the first instalment of the Tenth Doctor’s regeneration two-parter manages to beat its soap rival, despite its odds of 4/6.
“EastEnders looks hard to beat this year but perennial favourite Doctor Who could just sneak it,” she said. Only time will tell…
I watch Eastenders and Doctor Who, though I’d rather Doctor Who won the ratings battle. It’s the “beginning of the end” for the 10th Doctor, a one-off event, whereas Eastenders will keep going, no matter how good the Christmas episode is.
