Not confirmed, but on the Monday, BGT 1930-2100. Corrie at 2100. Nothing confirmed yet for 2130.
The only other suggestion would be a 1 x 90 drama from 21:30 to 23:00. My next question therefore is: Do ITV have any 1 x 90 dramas on the shelf? That'd be an extremely stacked night: 19:00 - Emmerdale 19:30 - Britain's Got Talent 21:00 - Coronation Street 21:30 - Drama Premiere 23:00 - ITV News

Very interesting. I wonder if Monday's show could be 2 hours in total - with the rest of the week one and a half hours? I really can't see ITV running a film premiere starting at 21:30.

I remember Lorraine Heggessey's tenure as BBC1 controller and despite recommissioning Doctor Who, she largely introduced reality and docusoaps such as "Clampers" "Hotel" "The Cruise" "Changing Rooms (from BBC2)" "Ground Force (from BBC2)"

I'd do
7pm - Emmerdale 7.30pm - BGT 9pm - Corrie 9.30pm - Celebrity Juice (does well on ITV2, see how it does on ITV1) |

How about a repeat of the Susan Boyle special at 9.30?

A repeat would be quite frankly a waste of the slot, really where a one off drama could go. (providing there are 1 x 90 dramas on the shelf)

Totally agree, soaps should not be placed post-watershed. Like you say, with it looking like BGT will be split in 2, it would've been a better idea to launch a few new shows off having a 'sandwich' slot. It;s not like ITV has many hits these days and that sort of week is the perfect time to try out a few new shows.

There's no way this is making space for Drama premieres or anything like that. This is ITV's big week. They're interested in nothing more than making as much money out of BGT as physically possible.
Pretty sure it'll just be 2 hours of BGT, split around Corrie at 9pm. 2.5hrs a night of 10m plus - and ITV are rolling in the ad money. BGT's raw numbers for the performance show might take a knock, but it works better for them financially. EastEnders is going to get battered for BBC One, but they'll just ignore it and plough on. Plenty of worthy stuff like 'Child of Our Time' can be sacrificed and at least they can claim to be providing an alternative. |

Susan Boyle doc is being repeated on the Saturday (29th May) off the back of the last 90' audition show (2000-2130)

They've got U Be Dead and Albert's Memorial on the shelf, but I'm not sure either will fit in with the feel of the night. Dubsj says it'll be a film premiere, but I can't think of any films ITV have to premiere.

Hopefully the BBC will just keep the shows in their normal slots(which i think they will) and of EastEnders gets a poor rating then so be it but it will recover. will corrie after being moved around all the time? From what i can see there's no need to move shows around like they do on ITV Have corrie Run Mon,Wed,Fri at 7:30pm, and a double bill Sunday (7:00-8:00pm) just to make up missed slots and have BGT run from 8;00pm |

They can't launch any new series that week though as the World Cup will shunt them all over the schedules in the following few weeks, which is no way to find a loyal audience. What they seem to be trying to do is get Coronation Street back on track by giving it maximum exposure during a big storyline and to set it up for the Summer, which seems a decent enough idea as it hasn't been in great shape lately.
Corrie is on track ratings-wise at least, with this year's ratings up from last year. I'm not sure what the big storyline is, but even if it gets big ratings throughout the week, I'd expect figures to fall back to normal within the following couple of weeks, especially since it'll be facing the World Cup.

BGT at 7.30-9pm on the Monday? That's an own goal by ITV...clashing with Eastenders and moving Corrie's 2 biggest episodes of the week out of their slot for no reason.
So that's BGT and Corrie that will be down and goodness knows what will air after Corrie. Wait and see is best I think - I highly doubt they'll split the show as it's stripping an internal ad break out of their most profitable show - a break between Corrie and BGT would be worth considerably less than a break completely within BGT. Now, personally I'd end all soaps next week and give BGT the 7-9pm slot for the week, and then rest the soaps until after the World Cup - but heck, ITV haven't got the balls to do that and the viewers of Britain are too stupid to realise it would actually be a good thing for "their" soaps to take such a break every once in a while. |

Will be interesting to see what happens at 2100 on the Tuesday to Friday as More Talent on itv2 will do quite well - possibly harming the Corrie numbers...

With the World Cup coming up and ITV's tight finances I doubt they have many new shows coming up to launch, so you can't blame them taking the safe easy option. |

As the BBC have nothing to lose, maybe they should go first with EastEnders and Holby?

With it being a Bank Holiday, EastEnders could do 7.30pm on the Monday, if there's no Coronation St in the slot.

What week is this happening anyway? I think we could see record highs for EastEnders on BBC3 so really the BBC are not loosing out |
