EastEnders is viewers' choice on Christmas Day as Coronation Street gives ITV only top 10 place

The 10.9 million viewers who watched EastEnders on BBC1 proved to be the largest audience of the day, with a 45.9% viewer share. However, that was significantly less than the 14.3 million who watched the top-rated Wallace & Gromit adventure last year.

Doctor Who – featuring a cast including John Simm and Catherine Tate – was the third most popular show, with an audience of 10 million. Again, this was down on the 11.7 million who watched the show last year, and the 12.2 million who watched 2007's Christmas special, featuring Kylie Minogue »

Here’s a teaser of season three’s first episode, as Gavin starts a new job in Wales and has a slag-off conversation with Smithy.

British comedy actor Mathew Horne has been taken to hospital in London after collapsing onstage during a West End play.

The 30 year-old fainted during a Thursday matinee performance of Entertaining Mr Sloane, and remained motionless for 10 minutes before paramedics arrived to take him to hospital.

According to British newspaper The Sun, Horne's co-star, Oscar-nominee Imelda Staunton apologised to the audience while Horne was being treated, and revealed she too felt unwell.

An audience member tells the publication, "When he fainted there was a long pause and everyone thought it was part of the play, but then we realised something was wrong and it was awful. We were all shocked."

Horne, famous for his role in U.K. TV comedy Gavin & Stacey, was replaced by an understudy for Thursday night's performance.

No further information was available as WENN went to press. »
