The list of the highest rated TV shows of 2007 has been revealed, and it makes for fascinating reading. Firstly, it's a triumph for EastEnders. And secondly, it shows that we Brits really do love our Christmas telly. The first and second most popular programmes of the year both went out on Christmas Day on BBC1 - the 'Enders episode and the Dr Who special with guest star Kylie Minogue. Elsewhere, the three huge reality/talent shows did well - X Factor, Strictly and Britain's Got Talent. No place for I'm A Celeb though. Here's a full list of the top 10, and if you want to know what the 69th most popular show of 2007 was: Judge John Deed on BBC1.
