British TV Ratings of the 1960s part 3

TOP TEN TV SHOWS MONTH BY MONTH - 1960 to 1969 (Part 3 1967 - 1969)

Here's the third part of a list of the top ten Britsh TV shows on a month-by-month basis from 1960 to 1969

The top ten was based on how many homes were actually viewing the listed programmes. It wasn't until August 1977 that the figure shown was for individual viewers.
