Hollyoaks seems in great danger of being beaten by E4 and TBBT. I wonder whether we may soon see E4's 6.30 TBBT move...?

I'm more concerned however by the fact Emmerdale is losing viewers at a fast pace then of course there is EastEnders which also seems to be shaking viewers. Corrie is the only one that remains consistant at around the 8/9 million mark. Come the Summer the soaps could be as low as 4 million for goodness sake. They all need to get their acts together. Shows like Call The Midwife prove the audiences are there if the material is enjoyable enough so there are no excuses for the soaps I'm afraid. |

Neighbours dropped below 1m for its teatime showing on Friday, I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. C5 need to do something, it's not good enough.
Some promotion on the other main channels would be good. As well as some big stories going on. I hope they milk Chris and Aidan for all its worth. |

Hollyoaks should just be put out of its misery. The show is clearly dying a death and Channel Four have had several different producers trying to save it since 2009 yet none of them seem to be working. You have to wonder how the hell it ended up in this situation.

Just out of interest, Kevin O'Sullivan was bigging up Corrie yesterday. |

I do agree with your sentiment. People wont watch the soaps regardless (unless there is nothing better on) if the quality isn't there, in my view. Equally, can soap viewers expect consistent quality when then producers have to churn out so many episodes a week?

They don't measure quality at all. Furthermore, in the case of Neighbours, there are many more opportunities (up to ten I believe) to watch it now, so the viewer-ship will be split across all screenings and viewings. |

Just out of interest, Kevin O'Sullivan was bigging up Corrie yesterday. He has ALWAYS bigged up corrie (and Emmerdale) and just like much of the people at the Daily Mirror he's very Anti BBC too Quote:

Mind you looking at BARB, the 7pm edition gets around 200k viewers regularly - w/e 12 Feb 2012 NEIGHBOURS (FRI 1900) 227k NEIGHBOURS (THU 1900) 196k On C5: NEIGHBOURS (FRI 1729) 1.25m NEIGHBOURS (TUE 1346) 0.92m The lunchtime edition is quite high I guess. I wish we knew if C5 were happy with the ratings though. |

Maybe they screen it too many times - I think it might be better if there were only three/four times a day: 1:45, 5:30 and 7:00.
it doesn't matter anyway because the repeat showings doesnt even add to much anyway.Which is why they are not always reported. Neighbours NEVER hardly ever makes the top 10 most watched programes on fiver/5* or whatever they call it these days. Home & Away pretty much takes most of the top 10 Official Figures 5* (was FIVER) w/e 12 Feb 2012 000's 1 HOME AND AWAY (FRI 1829) 604 2 HOME AND AWAY (THU 1829) 599 3 HOME AND AWAY (WED 1829) 559 4 HOME AND AWAY (MON 1835) 540 5 HOME AND AWAY (TUE 1829) 537 6 POLICE INTERCEPTORS (SUN 2100) 234 7 NEIGHBOURS (FRI 1900) 227 8 FILM:ERIN BROCKOVICH (FRI 2206) 200 9 NEIGHBOURS (THU 1900) 196 10 POLICE INTERCEPTORS (SAT 2201) 196 5* +1 (was FIVER +1) w/e 12 Feb 2012 000's 1 EXTREME FISHING WITH ROBSON GREEN (TUE 2100) 38 2 FILM:ERIN BROCKOVICH (FRI 2306) 32 3 NEIGHBOURS (WED 2000) 32 4 FILM: ALONG CAME POLLY (2004) (MON 2110) 27 5 POLICE INTERCEPTORS (SAT 2400) 24 6 POLICE INTERCEPTORS (SUN 2200) 24 7 THE LYING GAME (MON 2200) 24 8 HOME AND AWAY (WED 1929) 23 9 THE MENTALIST (THU 2202) 23 10 EXTREME FISHING WITH ROBSON GREEN (SUN 1901) 22 |

Neighbours hardly ever makes the top 10 on 5* because it's not a First Look while Home and Away is so in theory, Home and Away should rate very well on 5*. I guess it does.

Nothing new there then.
He has ALWAYS bigged up corrie (and Emmerdale) and just like much of the people at the Daily Mirror he's very Anti BBC too EastEnders will get around 5million all summer as it's going to be on BBC2 because of the Olympics/Football and will clash against the sports events. Corrie & Emmerdale will obviously remain on ITV1 but could be out of their slots at times Is your "...5 million..." prediction during the summer for Eastenders a 'face saving' exercise? If it was top quality all the time and 'must-see', people would tune in regardless...right? |

In my opinion, EastEnders only gets what it does due to the channel it appears on, it's time slot and lack of credible competition. |

Ratings over recent years indicate to me that the GBP's viewing habits appear to be changing. Drama, talent shows and scripted reality seem to be more popular now. In fact I don't know any under 30s who watch the soaps.
The challenge for the soaps is to stay relevant, 'realistic' and 'real' while maintaining consistent quality. Apart from the die-hards, people won't watch the soaps regardless. All of the above is just my opinion. |
