Sky TV have revealed the viewing trends of the country throughout the ongoing lockdown period.

Unsurprisingly, viewing figures on Sky channels are currently an all-time high with most of the nation confined to their homes.

A recent study by Sky revealed that Brits are now consuming, on average, 72 more minutes of TV than normal every day.

Amongst this increase is what is being described as the 'boxset effect', with over 100m downloads of TV shows both new and old.

Below is the breakdown of the Top 10 TV shows people are now watching throughout lockdown. If you want to get involved, shows listed for Sky Atlantic, Sky One and Sky Witness are accessible with use of a Now TV Entertainment Pass.
