The mind boggles, it really does. I would love Corrie to beat EE for its live episode just to see what excuses you would use.
![]() Corrie will no doubt get a bit of help from xfactor or IAC or something ![]() Im not sure on the actual figure but i think the corrie LIVE episode could pip EastEnders but the corrie's Live episode will no where near reach 22million or whatever it was for reapts and online viewings |

The X Factor was dull tonight. Forget autotune, this show has to be the most lazily edited in the history of television. Maybe they were so busy trying to remove (or at least reduce) the effects of autotune that they didn't worry too much about the actual content and structure. But it was even more formulaic and predictable than usual tonight. From the way the whole Dublin auditions were put together and the subsequent ridiculing of Louis, to the fact the best audition was saved until the end and made to look like the last of the day, to the way Simon asked for a second song from that girl who was a little too cabaret. Seen it all before! Even the delightful Katy Perry couldn't save tonight's show from being utterly underwhelming.
Also didn't like how they filmed some contestants carrying out their mundane day jobs; for example, the lady who worked on the tills at Tesco. Apart from giving the game away, it added no value whatsoever. If she was an astronaut or something then fair enough, but a retail worker? We all know what a supermarket looks like so hearing that information would suffice, we don't need to see it as well. Just get on with it and cut out all this nonsense in between. After a strong start last week bar autotune-gate, this was a really poor episode for The X Factor's standards. I'll rate it a generous 3/10 and I'm not expecting it to top 10m. Wow that is a very low mark. I still enjoyed the episode. It wasn't as good as last week but still provided some good Saturday night entertainment. I reckon it will top 10m.

it will be interesting to see which rates better.
I will say however I am worried that this is last minute planning by ITV, to create and create an event similar to the BBC live ep, for the Corrie anniversy, not something that was planned well in advance like the EE Live ep was. |

when is Myfamily back?
It seems they are not showing the final 2 episodes On My Virgin guide it's got Waterloo road down as a 3 parter only and is being shown on Weds and Thurs next week So I wonder how The Bill on Tuesday and Last of the summers wine last episode tommorow can rate as both were quite big at one time and im sure older viewers might tune in I noticed corrie is on tommorow is that just an Extra episode? |

Im sure its been planned from the moment they saw the overnights for Eastenders live episode. Its the only way they could possibly challenge the 16m that EE got. I can imagine both shows want the bragging rights for their respective anniversary shows.
the EE Live episode was planned far far in advance, than the impression I get from ITV takling about a live Corrie episode. |

Do you actually watch Corrie? The last few weeks have been quite good. I'm sure by December the show will hopefully be at its best for the LIVE episode. I've only seen 4 weeks worth of episodes this year since i got back so don't really know what the show has been like since November 2009. Just read alot of bad reviews but the ratings are still up on last year by average I believe.
Yeah and no I don't record it or anything but i tend to see quite a bit of it on Mondays and Fridays as it's on before EastEnders and i've seen alot of the big episodes in the past which i've praised Out of all 8 soap or however many it is Corrie is the only one i've never got into and is the only one i've never really watched at any given time(i mean Like a fan) |

To maximise ratings, Corrie should schedule their live episode on the Monday following the anniversary (assuming the tram crash happens actually on the anniversary)
A specially written 40 minute episode at 7.30pm followed by a 15 minute behind the scenes programme and then back again for a second 35 minute long live episode at 8.25pm would go down a treat.

Corrie should have a good year this year, and a good anniversy episode, its 50 years old for christ sakes, I dont watch it, but I know that 50 years is quite an impressive milestone.
the EE Live episode was planned far far in advance, than the impression I get from ITV takling about a live Corrie episode. But Santer kept Banging on months before that,that the 25th will Be massive and they have loads planned |

I get the feeling the Corrie 50th episodes is going to be one of those situations in this thread where large ratings get slated.
A bit like The X Factor where a rating of over 10m generates more negative anti-ITV posts than the ratings news for Odd One In and Magic Numbers 3 weeks ago. |

Personally I am hoping that the BBC 4 Corrie drama outrates whatever rubbish is on ITV 1 when it airs, but does not outrate BBC 1.
I am also sure Corrie will do there own Eastenders Live: The Aftermath on ITV 2. |

For the record I can't see Corrie topping EE's rating but yes, it's pretty obvious that ITV saw how well EE's 25th anniversary did and decided they wanted some of that for themselves.
Personally I think the tram crash storyline was enough - the live episode will be a logistical nightmare and I'm not sure how on earth they're going to pull it off. but Clearly they wanted EastEnders style ratings and have gone for the Live episode I do see Corrie beating it purely due to the fact it will no doubt get a bit of promotion via the xfactor and will also be part of ITV's big week with IAC final Plus December it's dark and cold |
