But ITV may have been stretching the point – by showing The Holiday over 50 times in 11 years.

Since its 2006 release, the story of a British columnist and an American movie producer swapping homes and discovering romance is a holiday favorite. The story tells the tale of Amanda (played by Cameron Diaz) who moves in with Iris, Kate Winslet, and falls for Jack Black and Jude Law.

ITV has shown The Holiday over 50 times on its channels, a total of more than 100 hours of screentime since 2010.
