Two explosive reality TV shows people couldn\u2019t get enough of this year were Married at First Sight UK<\/a> and Australia, and it comes as no surprise that they were some of Channel 4<\/a>\u2018s most watched TV shows of 2023.<\/p>\n

Channel 4 unveiled its 20 most streamed episodes and top series of 2023, with the UK and Australia marital experiments coming in the third and fourth spots respectively.<\/p>\n

Based on highest episode and ranked by streaming viewing minutes, Married at First Sight UK came in third place, with season 8 episode 1 racking up 120 million viewing minutes.<\/p>\n

Following behind in fourth place was Married at First Sight Australia season 10 episode 2, with 103 million viewing minutes.<\/p>\n

Love was in the air for Channel 4 viewers this year, with Married at First Sight UK, Australia and New Zealand reaching a combined 6.8 billion viewing minutes.<\/p>\n

At the top of the list with 243 million viewing minutes is the nation\u2019s sweetest show, The Great British Bake Off<\/a>.<\/p>\n
This was followed by the \u201cagenda-setting\u201d Russell Brand: In Plain Sight Dispatches documentary, with 170 million viewing minutes recorded.<\/p>
Channel 4\u2019s chief content officer Ian Katz said: \u201cWith our most streamed shows of the year ranging from a resurgent Great British Bake Off to surprise hit of the year The Piano, via the uncompromising drama doc Partygate, this list is testament to Channel 4\u2019s commitment to delivering original, compelling and hugely entertaining shows with something to say about Britain and the way we live.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of a year that saw our slate pick up more awards than in any year in the channel\u2019s history, I\u2019m delighted to see our distinctive and risk-taking output resonating with our audience.\u201d<\/p>\n
Overall, Channel 4\u2019s streaming viewing time is up by 24 per cent on 2022, with over 53.5 billion viewer minutes consumed in total this year.<\/p>
