The challenge for the soaps is to stay relevant 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. |

Five will want their moneys worth and they repeat all their Shows like hell (well are any of their programes actually made by five?)
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 Yeah but Home and Away only just scrapes into Channel 5's top 30

However, you are happy to quote Eastenders' BBC3 repeat figures and the omnibus editions when it suits you ay, in my opinion!
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. The BBC omnibus pulls in over a million most weeks which is more than any of the other soap omnibuses so all in all EastEnders gets more reach than anyother tv soap which is also what the BBC have stated anumber of times EastEnders rates more on their BBC3 repeat and sunday omnibus than any of the other soaps and quite often you see the BBC3 repeat as the most watched multi channel of the day....worth noting which programe still holds the most watched Digital TV screening ever! Quote:
...and what happens when EastEnders clashes with a credible alternative? It drops to 5.5 million. They are the real figures.
![]() When soap clashes with soap then the viewers are split and of course the soap starting HALF HOUR later is going to be dented much more. Come back on Friday 23rd March and tell me why EastEnders thrashes Emmerdale on Thursday 22nd March because 1.EastEnders has a big Hour-Long Episode 2.EastEnders gets 30mins head start over Emmerdale which is what happend when Emmerdale had the hour-long last week. Last time EastEnders had the head-start over Emmerdale it was reduced to 4 million whille EastEnders had over 9 and that was late 2011

that 5.5m will turn into 7 million (or there abouts) once recordings are taken into account. When you hear things like 'X factor was the number 1 show of 2011' thats based on the official rating and not over nights The overnights are just figures with Half the info Quote:
He isn't "anti the BBC" any more than I am. He was bigging up 'Call The Midwife' the other week.
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? as it along with most of the BBC1 programes will be moved to BBC2 and like last time EastEnders will get around 5.3m The Olympics this year will be MASSIVE because simply they are in the UK and of course with the Euro & Wimbledon all the soaps will be down Chances are all of the Big 3 soaps will have bigger storylines before and after the sporting events and have more filler storylines for the summer He is anti BBC...on twitter he's always moaning about BBC programes and even in the sunday mirror once again today BBC this BBC that |

All of the above is just my opinion. Pop over to the TV ratings thread and ask for the Demos You will see that EastEnders is mostly watched by the 18-30 age range. |

Why would it get in the top 30 for C5 when C5 doesn't air the episode first? It's a repeat...That's like saying BBC3 EastEnders should rate higher than the BBC1 episode.
Hollyoaks is in the same position as Home and Away...it airs its premier episode on E4 and C4 episodes rarely make it in to the top 30. Chances are if E4/5* stopped the first look showings the actual main Ch4/Five figures would be higher. I've no idea why they even bother with 'First Looks' actually |

200,000 for the 5* showing is pretty dame good wouldn't you say? I didn't realise it was that high, to be fair.
I don't know what Channel Five's expectations are, but it is worth remembering that Channel Five is the UK's fifth terrestrial channel.

If your going to make these statements please get the facts right because everything you have posted in here is just so wrong Talent Shows: BGT,X Factor and Strictly are the only shows that are actually doing well. Dancing on Ice has fallen to all-time lows of 5 million viewers lately Dramas: Soaps come under Drama and are still among the most watched programes on TV ONLY Call the midwife & Downton Are able to rate higher Scripted Reality shows: Liked TOWIE? which doesn't even rate over 2 million viewers |

What are you worried about/frightened of?
Im one of those people that doesn't worry about anything in life but what really annoys me is when people make silly statements and when they get pulled up on them they can't even be bothered to reply properly Thing is you state these things as facts when they are not |

Just like HeartBeat in it's hey day pulled in 17 million viewers In my opinion and the opinion of others it seems, you appear to use any excuse going to explain/justify/brush off a 'poor' Eastenders performance. Could it just be that people are switching off because it is no longer the quality show it was back in the day? If Eastenders was top quality all the time, people would watch it regardless, in my view. |

Could it just be that people are switching off because it is no longer the quality show it was back in the day? If Eastenders was top quality all the time, people would watch it regardless, in my view. you have posted OFFICIAL figures for xmas day 2011 and yet when i mentioned a few posts back about EastEnders getting over 9million and pretty much on par with Corrie's official ratings you said how Over nights are the Real figures Fact is EastEnders is doing very well and as you will see if you look at the OFFICIAL ratings (like the 2011 ones you posted) you will see since January most Eastenders figures are over 9million with some over 10million No spin what-so-ever just you trying to make a point but changing your tune as per usual:yawn: Seeing as EastEnders takes 4 of the top 5 most watched BBC programes of the week and is pretty much on par with Corrie in officials and is UP in 2009 show's there's not problem with the shows ratings. Of course and many have said this to you before you make statements and when proved wrong you always pull out the 'Spin' line |

My opinion is supported by the ratings figures. Reality tv/tv talent shows and dramas are now more popular than the soaps. It doesn't matter to me. Does it really matter to you? |

I can't believe the spin I am reading. It doesn't matter when people watch/how they watch. It is 2012. In my opinion, you totally talk as it fits...so long as, somehow or other, Eastenders can come out on top.

It doesn't matter to me. Does it really matter to you? You have changed your tune so many times in just a few posts A few posts back it was the over night showing that mattered and now it's the over all figure There was No spin in my post just fact...EastEnders was most watched on the day but DA did pull ahead with recordings taken into account and it was only 300,000 ahead of EastEnders EastEnders rating only 300k lower than a 'credible' alternative isn't bad er I would love to argue all night but some of us have to get up for work |

^Thanks for those, Looks like Emmerdale and Eastenders are closest in Ratings rather than Eastenders and Corrie being close like it used to be. Close to 10 million in the second episode there for Corrie.
Well done to Corrie. =) |

Again quite poor for EE and not a very good share. But there is nothing exciting happening in the show at the moment. Hopefully with Heather's murder coming up the ratings will improve.
