The Guardian is reporting of continued drops in TV viewing figures possibly due to computer games and DVD's. It's not all that suprising the trend is changing, especially as for the most part Christmas TV sucked even more than usual this year forcing people to play games/DVD's! What do you think?

The Guardian - Rival forms of entertainment such as games consoles and interactive DVD games contributed to the accelerating trend, with fewer people watching overall and BBC1's share of viewing on Christmas Day plummeting from 42% to 32% in a year. ITV1's share of viewing fell to 20% from 32% last year, with the growth of digital television contributing to falling ratings on the main terrestrial channels. Two thirds of UK households now have access to at least 30 digital channels.

But viewers still tuned in for the BBC's big set pieces, with a new Doctor Who in David Tennant trouncing a celebrity version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire on ITV and EastEnders outdoing Coronation Street in the annual battle of the soaps.
