And since any new soap would be better than EE, it will be axed. |

Once again the Daily Star are showing a huge bias against Eastenders in their reporting. They have actually grabbed hold of an article which was featured in the Daily Mail this week suggesting that the new Director General of the BBC might want to cut out on one of the episodes of Eastenders to prove to the goverment and critics of the Beeb that they can be seen to be more high-brow and less ratings driven in order to get the Goverrnment to let the BBC keep the license fee in operation when the BBCs charter runs out in 2006.
The Daily Star have used this article and put their own spin on the story as it suits their needs in their vendetta against the programme. |

Without even reading the article I can tell you that EastEnders is not going to be Axed! If it loses an episode a week that is fine but that doesn't mean its Axed! Its only Axed! if its given an Sunday afternoon timeslot with three epis all in one and isnt' shown during the week anymore.
Msf, this new Northern Soap is a bit of a way off yet mate, I reckon EastEnders will be back on its feet or at least getting there by the time its launched. |

I heard on my local radio station this morning that they "might" be reducing it down to two episodes per week in an attempt to improve the quality. I hope this doesn't turn out to be true

Msf, this new Northern Soap is a bit of a way off yet mate, I reckon EastEnders will be back on its feet or at least getting there by the time its launched. The thing is the format of EE is very old and outdated, that might have worked 15 years ago when there was only 4 channels and no internet but nowadays people expect much more than that. EE only has a chance if they completely revamp the show and change the cast which they're not bold enough and creative enough to do. |

East end of london does look like that and what about Corrie you don't have streets with the cobbles like that any more if any soap needs a revamp it is corrie which is still stuck in the 70's. |

This is starting to get abit boring sorry to upset you msf but EE will not be axed and it is going no where the BBC get to much money for it. |

The BBC don't get paid for it, they get viewers. To try to justify the licence fee. And they say they're not all about ratings these days! Yeah, pull the other one...
