I wonder why BBC1 have suddenly gone for a Tuesday night hour long for EastEnders? I think it's the right thing to do - and'll really strengthen BBC1's performance agakinst ITV IMO - but why the emphasis on Thursday's in the recent past?
The soaps did really well last night, though the 8.30pm share for Coronation Street looks strange compared to it's rating. Who Do You Think You Are? performed excellently, but Identity improved on last week which'll please ITV. Big Brother did well - though not the powerhouse for Channel 4 that it was it can still pull it 2.5m regularly which shouldn't be sniffed at. I reckon it could outrate most of ITV1's shcedule tonight. |

The simple fact that it's on until 11.40pm on a weeknight surely won't help either and 100 minutes is quite a stetch as well.
Perhaps they'll reveal what it is in the tabloids tomorrow? Under 2m- disaster 2-2.3m- as expected 2.4m-2.8m- brilliant 2.9m+ do a uturn on a commission for series 12 I'm expecting 2.1m. May be helped with a fairly big housemate leaving today though. |

In the same slot on a Sunday last year against The Apprentice final, the conclusion of the launch night (and subsequently an eviction) drew a whopping 1.9m to Channel 4 so basically a scale:
Under 2m- disaster 2-2.3m- as expected 2.4m-2.8m- brilliant 2.9m+ do a uturn on a commission for series 12 I'm expecting 2.1m. May be helped with a fairly big housemate leaving today though. |

MSNBC is slightly limited in primetime because their 10pm show is a repeat while FOX run "On The Record" and CNN have Anderson Cooper. Although they won't let anyone know in their coverage, I suspect MSNBC will be cheering on the Republicans this November. With the Democrats controlling everything, they're in a tricky position. |

Normally we'd all be praising Packed to the Rafters' rating, but Masterchef has eclipsed that somewhat.

As for future cooking shows in the pipeline, I haven't heard much on that front, but spinoff series Junior MasterChef launches later this year on TEN after the 2010 Commonwealth Games. Celebrity MasterChef last year was nowhere near as successful as the normal series though, it's worth noting.

New housemate/interview with Caoimhe/both
Spoiler
Maybe they will try it again tomorrow, along with the Caoimhe interview. Even so, I'm a die-hard fan and have to say that 100 minutes is too long. |

Yes! In fact, Wikipedia notes that "Its success is despite initial belief from critics that the series would be a dud based on the performance of previous prime time cooking shows, as well as general cynicism against a new reality show format."

Maybe now might be time to try again and piggyback on the success of Masterchef - especially over the summer where it'll be cheaper to air than drama. |

There has been a few EastEnders Tuesday hour-longs and we do get them from time-time I guess the storyline just fell ontonight so thats when they had the hour-long ? |

Looking at the figures for Australlia, it looks like they really need to sort out Neighbours. Home and Away is getting over 1 million, surely that should be Neighbours' target too?
It's just ahead of the Simpsons which is pretty terrible!

Interesting. Even though many don't like her I'm glad Kate is staying, and John for that matter. Ben and Andrew had already jumped ship, for the fear of being axed and isn't Emma being given a role in ITV's lunchtime news? Glad ITV have found a use for the redundant presenters. Ben & Andrew also host other ITV shows and Kate will be back in primetime for The Biggest Loser. No loss really that Carla/Richard have effectively be axed. They needed to get rid of them really to completely get away from the damaged GMTV brand.
----- Regarding last night, amazing for WDYTYA- like rzt said 7m for a factual programme in this day and age is astonishing. Panorama also seemed to get a nice boost aswell which gave BBC1 an excellent evening. Pretty lacklustre for BBC2. The predictable rating for the Newsnight special harmed Rev. Silly scheduling imo, considering it's the 10pm slot that needs propping up the most. People finally seem to be tiring of Antiques shows aswell. Uni Challenge seems down somewhat aswell. Strong for the ITV soaps, as per usual. Identity increased as I thought and hopefully it won't drop again. It's certainly ITV's best new Summer drama offering in at least 2/3 years. Also pleasing to see new drama in 3 9pm slots on ITV1 and repeated drama in 2 other slots aswell. BB did well considering it started half way through everything else, after a programme with a completely different audience. I don't really understand why the WW1 doc was at 8pm, because it obviously wasn't scheduled there in the first place, as Dispatches was moved to Sunday. Why couldn't this have aired at 7.30pm on Sunday?? FIVE above 1 million again- they're on a role lately. |

Just a shame there isn't much on ITV1 Tuesday nights for EastEnders to crush. Bit of a waste last night really. (The Bill is already on its arse and in its coffin or it would have counted at one time)
I suppose technically EE won last night factoring out HD. I know it's generally included but if you think about it Corrie used to win even without HD, albeit marginally in more recent times compared to its comfortable victories of the past, so looks like the gap has decreased some more recently. Good news for the BBC and EE which is firing on all cylinders at the moment. Emmerdale is good too. Shame about Corrie which seems to be in some sort of chronic rut. |

Tuesday 21 July
- EastEnders pulls in best figures since 4 May, with a massive 42% share. Despite this, BBC Three also notches up a brilliant repeat rating of over 800,000 - However, it was Britain Goes Camping that won the multichannels for BBC Four, followed by Underage and Pregnant for BBC Three. - The Bill ahead of CSI: Miami by just a fraction |
