4. Top 30’s shows from last week
The top shows were all the
same show as they earned
over 12 million views
because it’s the world cup
and the world cup is very
world wide. Majority of the
people are watching the
games as it’s a one time
thing that happens every 4
years.
5. The top 30’s back in 1998
Back in the 1988 the top
shows were east enders and
casualty, these are both soap
operas.
Back in the 1988 we had less
TV shows to what we have
now as there’s shows we
have now that we didn’t
have 10 years ago
There’s even catch up and I
player were people can
watch all the shows they
missed and need to catch up
to.
