Are Emmerdale in the middle of a big storyline though? It would work in theory but additional viewers will only watch and take an interest if something worthwhile is happening.

EastEnders are re shooting scenes today as it saw lucas kill a prostitute and the BBC have dropped the scenes due to the Bradford killings last week.
Corrie could have a triple episode next Friday 7:30-9:00pm seeing as theres no EastEnders due to the football.
ITV might just air a hour Sunday episode to catch up and then fit the final part of siege week somewhere monday
Couldn't Emmerdale air as a double bill/Hour tonight?
7:00pm-8:00pm and have BGT 8:00-10;00pm(Emmerdale will clash with EastEnders but thats nothing new)
Or Emmerdlae 7:00pm &8:00pm and have BGT run 8:30pm-10:30pm and have a later news which has happend before
Then Run Corrie for hour on sunday and triple episode Monday 7:00pm-8:00pm and then 8:30pm
7:00pm-8:00pm and have BGT 8:00-10;00pm(Emmerdale will clash with EastEnders but thats nothing new)

Quigg was 16 at the time. More strict rules apply to under 14's
BBC Press Office has now updated for Week 25. Obviously it's pretty much wall-to-wall World Cup and Wimbledon, but amidst that EastEnders has been shunted into 2 x 60 minute blocks (Monday 21st at 8-9pm & Wednesday 23rd at 7-8pm) while Holby City has been moved to Friday at 8pm.
EDIT: there's also a standard 30-minute EE at 7.30pm on Friday 25th, so effectively an extra episode (5 for the price of 4) that week.

It was a big storyline, but due to the Bradford killings has had to be re-edited. Anyway, BBC scheduling fun and games start from Monday June 22nd, with Wimbledon. For their sake, Andy Murray cannot be playing on a day when EastEnders is on in primetime otherwise their BBC One schedule goes to pot. But would they move a World Cup game to BBC Two to occupy him? Decisions, decisions... anyway:
Saturday 19th June
14:30 to 17:10 - World Cup
20:00 to 21:00 - Casualty
22:00 to 22:50 - World Cup Highlights
TBA - Doctor Who
Sunday 20th June
12:10 to 14:30 - World Cup
19:00 to 22:00 - World Cup
Monday 21st June
12:15 - World Cup
14:35 - BBC News
14:40 - World Cup
17:15 to 18:00 - Wimbledon 2010
20:00 - EastEnders (1 hour)
Tuesday 22nd June
13:45 to 15:00 - Wimbledon 2010
19:00 to 22:00 - World Cup
Wednesday 23rd June
13:40 - Wimbledon 2010
14:15 - World Cup
17:30 to 18:00 - Wimbledon 2010
19:00 - EastEnders (1 hour)
20:00 to 21:00 - Waterloo Road
Thursday 24th June
13:40 to 18:00 - Wimbledon 2010
19:00 to 22:00 - World Cup
Friday 25th June
13:40 - Wimbledon 2010
14:15 - World Cup
17:15 to 18:00 - Wimbledon 2010
19:30 - EastEnders
20:00 to 21:00 - Holby City
If Murray was playing on any day when EastEnders is on, as you can see it'd cause scheduling chaos.

But on that series of Xtra Factor George Sampson, who is younger than Eoghan, was allowed on the late results show on the panel.
Harry Hill at 9pm again. They should have put Harry Hill at 7.30pm and ran BGT for two hours from 8pm, but the results should do better tonight anyway as they're only against a repeat of Would I Lie To You, which starts at the same time.

Even I feel a smidge of sympathy for ITV and thats saying something.
Cue another protest in the soaps forum.

Problem with moving BGT around is that most people expect it to be on at the same time everyday, and only people on this forum will really be aware of changes, most ordinary people just check the TV guide to see when stuff is on, moving it around could potentially loose alot more viewers IMO.

Perhaps but it would only be delaying it by half an hour, which would mean that the results show wouldn't suffer and that it didn't have to face EastEnders.
What a mess. It won't be back until Monday now.
I still think they should have went ahead with a slightly edited, if needs be, episode tonight. But can see why they didn't.

Definitely, it's rotten luck. I don't watch either corrie or BGT, but when you think of the months of planning to schedule big Corrie sotryline to coincide with BGT Final, you could never foresee something like this happening.
why is there 5 episodes of EE on week 25.
2 x 1 hour (4 episodes) & 1 x 30 minute (5 in total)
I kinda like the novelty of having 2, 1 hour episode, see how it sits, but adding the 5th episode is strange.
ITV pulling Corrie again? this has gone from bad to worse for them.

If ITV keeps these episodes and doesn't 'start' again until Monday, they will have 3 episodes to catchup on. I forsee:
Monday
19:00 - Emmerdale
19:30 - Coronation Street (02/06 episode)
20:00 - Countrywise
20:30 - Coronation Street (03/06 episode)
Tuesday
Millionaire cancelled
19:00 - Emmerdale
20:00 - Harry Hill's TV Burp (R)
20:30 - Coronation Street (04/06 episode)
Wednesday
Florida: Paradise Lost moved to Friday, 21:00 where a Taggart repeat currently is
19:00 - Emmerdale
19:30 - Lion Country
20:00 - Coronation Street (07/06 - 2 episodes)
They need a day break though between the Friday and Monday episodes, it'd look bizarre to have a burning factory before a break (Friday's episode) and then all clear for when it comes back from the break (Monday's episode). The above also would, coincidentally give Father and Son a Coronation Street lead-in for the four days that it is on. They can't really put the three siege episodes left after 9pm otherwise Father and Son would be on at 8pm, 8:30pm, 9pm, 9pm which is not feasible.
What it would mean is that they'd be 8 episodes of Coronation Street next week, but that cannot be helped.

But that sort of problem only occurs when a show is moved to start earlier. TV Burp will stand up well against Eastenders.
Its just ITV's luck that 'their' week is a complete disaster. To add to matters, the weather is now really hot.

Personally I'd go:
Mon
7pm-Corrie (2/06)
7.30pm-Corrie (3/06)
8pm-Countrywise
8.30pm-Corrie (4/06)
Tues
7pm-Emmerdale (7/06)
7.30pm-Emmerdale (8/06 part one)
8pm-Corrie (7/06 double bill)
Wed
7pm-Emmerdale (8/06 part two)
7.30pm-Emmerdale (9/06)
I don't think the climax to the seige storyline should be dumped at 8.30pm on a Tuesday. I think airing it all on the Monday makes an event out of it, even though it's 90 minutes of Corrie in one night.
The Monday eps of Corrie should go on Tuesday at 8 because they get the Emmerdale lead in and will provide a good lead in for F&S at 9pm.
Emmerdale will clash with EE on Wed, but EE is out of its normal slot anyway and it should pose no threat to Emmerdale. Emmerdale is already 2 episodes short and needs to catch those up, as well as ones it will lose during the world cup.
The right call by ITV. Their filler options, especially for a half-hour slot, are somewhat limited, but Harry Hill does the job well enough. The only other option is to move Emmerdale to 9pm, and perhaps extend the 6.30pm news to an hour.
The rescheduling though needs to cause as minimum disruption as possible - moving Emmerdale and other shows around the schedule to accommodate extra episodes isn't a good idea. I'd certainly put an hour next Wednesday at 8pm, and then I think find the third half-hour the following week.

Couldn't they just shift the episodes along and air them in their normal places without moving or replacing other shows?

They could, but then they'd be a backlog.

It isn't that simple due to the structure of the episodes. The episodes are made so that storylines are contained within the week. Monday & Friday episodes are both 2 parters, so the 7.30pm episode builds up to the 8.30pm episode and pushing then back will make those out of sync. Corrie ending at 8pm is basically like an extended ad break, so its like a show going off air midway through the episode and returning in a few days.
Kevin O'Sullivan (Mirror.co.uk TV Critic) says that ITV are moving the episodes to next week, with an official announcement tomorrow. I'm guessing they'll announce the schedule changes and stuff tomorrow as well.
