Do you think The corrie live episode will beat the eastenders live episode

I know the question wasn't directed at me but personally I don't think Coronation Street's live episode will beat EastEnders' live episode. EastEnders seems to effortlessly manage to get hype, drive and momentum with conclusions to big storylines, something which Coronation Street is not as adept at. I think it may manage to hit the 13m mark - in the officials it may beat Britain's Got Talent, but that'll be it IMO.

Yes thats what i think. I would be amazed if it beat Eastenders

more looking on Digiguide, and it looks like this years TV Burp is no more than a clips shows, which is dissapointing.


I had two ITV shows on my scheulde this year, and both have bee removed, this and the Primeval repeat.

very dissapointing

Just need to find out what is happening with Wall-E, and confirm Mock the Week on the 30th is a repeat of the one on 21st, and will be able to put a bow on my Christmas listings for this year.

Not going to quote a million things:

Dan, I quoted EastEnders overnights as a direct comparison to Corrie because Corrie's officials for last week and this week are not out yet.

You do not compare EastEnders officials with Corrie's overnights or vice versa. I thought that was common sense.

Well, it will be close. The BBC's offering at the same time is:

The Apprentice:The Final Five

Unless you are a huge fan of TA you are not going to bother to watch that! So, in honesty Corries Live episode will be nearer 15 million and may just nudge 16 million.

The Corrie cast at least have the luxury of being able to recover during commercial breaks! EastEnders didn't!

I agree. So much pact bullying on one poster. That's what it is.

This thread shouldn't be about that.

Thanks Mike. Super rating for The One Show yesterday, I guess the BBC Regional News lead-in must've been big plus having EastEnders following it helps. The ITV1 programmes last night did well - Corrie will be over 10m once HD is factored in and IAC got its best weeknight rating of the series. Obviously the poor weather helped but it's still good figures.

Rick Stein's and Beeney's shows on BBC2/CH4 held up very well considering they faced tough comeptition. Beeney's show has been one of the few positives to come out of a pretty bad Autumn for CH4.

Edit: Yesterday's IAC rating (including HD) was: 9.88m (36.37%).

Good figure for TOS, EE again hit by hour-long Emmerdale and a high figure for Question Time

EE hit again by the hour long Emmerdale....

I think EE figure is quite good, considering there's nothing going at the mo' (well nothing of interest to me)

Emmers usually gets the better of EE seven times out of ten (as a rough guesstimate)

Very good figure for The One Show, no doubt helped by the preceeding Regional News. BBC1 held up alright from 7:30pm, and had a good figure for Question Time at 10:35pm.

Super night for ITV1, Emmerdale will be above 8m including HD, Corrie above 10m and I'm a Celebrity nearly hitting 10m.

Another strong night for ITV1. I know I've said it before, but it amazes me that despite 3 Thursday clashes in recent weeks Emmerdale remains unaffected, which wasn't the case when the Tuesday clashes were happening on a regular basis. I guess it shows the strong state of Emmerdale atm delivering strong episodes on a daily basis, whereas there's a lot of filler in EE currently (imo).

Also, surprisingly Corrie has been very consistent this week. Very unusual. And there definitely seems to be a boost in the run up to next week. Even without the weather boost, the shares have been pretty strong.

IAC building up some momentum towards the final now and the true personalities are finally coming out now. All the characters seemed to be lost when there was 13 'celebs' in the camp. It was a classic IAC episode last night and the final 5 worked really well together. Will be interesting to see if the 2 person final works better than previous 3 person finals.

Motorway Cops and HIGNFY held up extremely well against ITV's block. HIGNFY hardly dented at all from its usual ~5m audience.

On CH5, H&A's audience is slightly concerning-no boost despite the poor weather and reguarly below 1m now isn't good. That said, Hollyoaks 1.1m for last night is awful too.

Not hit that hard though. Do remember Emmerdale has 30 minutes free of EastEnders to push its figure higher. A fact which is often overlooked on here at times.

Anyone have the 5 min run done of what EE and Emmerdale got when head to head?

Corrie is really gaining momentum for next week. I expect the ratings will just continue to grow and grow.

I think its possible for every episode to be over 12 million next week. The weather is going to give them a massive boost.

The biggest test however is whether these viewers will stick with the show or turn back out again.

don't have 5 min, but here's the 15 min breakdown

Emmers
7.78m
8.18m
7.59m
8.03m

EE
6.68m
6.27m

so seems like I wasn't the only to turn over, get bored and then turn back - usually the "it's on BBC3 later" excuse

Interesting breakdown...seems people got bored mid-EE and swtched back

Your analysis might have some merit if Eastenders actually ran until 8pm, which it didn't. It finished 4 minutes early for promos and the news update. So thats enough to eradicate any drop

Emmerdale is really starting to dent EE, we all know that pattern. the BBC needs to stop that.

What are you on about there was weekly clashes for nearly 2 years and it didn't make any difference in the long run.

at all the over-inflated Corrie predictions. Yeah, it's SO gonna get over 12m at 8.30pm on a Tuesday and 7pm on a Wednesday!!

Also I notice the thread last night was chopped to bits after the rows. Funny, that.

Back to real ratings talk...

Excellent for The One Snow. Poor for EastEnders, especially losing viewers over the 30 minute slot. Impressed HIGNFY held up so well with the beefed up competition.

Pleased Corrie will have broken the 10m mark last night hopefully, a solid figure there. IAC also doing the business with nearly 10m - should do great on Saturday for its final (though it really should have been on Sunday).

A real shame Misfits isn't doing over 1m, it's one of the most original and fresh British dramas in a long time. I'd go as far as saying it has the best cinematography of any British drama I've seen. I don't know if it's just a niche show, or if the scheduling hasn't been quite right for its young audience. I always watch it on Sky+ personally.

Looking forward to the HD figures.

hey don't drag me into the soap wars

nothing I say is concrete

Spot on. Here's the 5-minute breakdown of yesterday's EastEnders:

1930 * 6.36
1935 * 6.65
1940 * 7.01
1945 * 6.80
1950 * 6.95
1955 * 5.06

It was stable between 19.30-19.55 but because it finished early the 19.55-20.00 bit had a lower rating and that brought down the average of the second quarter. Nothing to do with "people being bored". 19.40-19.45 saw a lift because that was when Emmerdale had an ad-break.
