viewers

[JPA9]

what is the highest ever amount of viewers a tv programme has got, and which programme was it?

[RogK]

Something Royal, I would think, and something about Diana - her wedding or her funeral.

It would have been the Coronation or the moon landing, but there weren't enough tellies.

Top figure for "Porridge", as a matter of trivia, was one Sunday evening in the late 70s when it got 22 million viewers.

if youre talking world figures then im sure it would be something like olympics or maybe even the superbowl ?

Are you meaning just in the UK or Worldwide?

Eastenders Christmas special.The one that Dens wants a divorce from Angie.

Dallas 'who shot JR' got a massive amount of viewers

Neil Armstrong landing on the moon - must have been plenty of people watching, not necessarily on lots of different tele's though in those days....
