The last few weeks have been the programming equivalent of an over-generous Christmas Day meal with X Factor, Celebrity, Strictly piled high on the plate - and phew, at last its over.
For broadcasters desperately seeking ratings - 12.2 million for the final of Strictly - these huge numbers are a blessing.
But it's not good news for anyone seeking variety in the schedules. Entertainment is what people want in these difficult times, and the more the merrier. Where will that leave factual programming in 2009? Working hard to be different I think.
