Monday 30th December
#1. Coronation Street: 8.82m (37.3%), +1: 272k (1.1%)
#2. Emmerdale 7.17m (31.4%), +1: 181k (0.8%) #3. EastEnders: 6.91m (27.9%), BBC3: 602k (4.0%) EastEnders suffering out of its normal slot as people thought. I genuinely did think it would be at around 8 million last night especially before Mrs Brown's Boys (which got nearly 9 million last night). I really hope EE can rise for the New Year's episodes as there's a murder going on. I'm sure it will manage 8-9m? Brilliant for Emmerdale which I gather is playing a good story about the Home Farm fire. The show always stands tall in the face of the two big guns and is a great underdog; October's storm and siege and last year's anniversary (spearheaded by the supposedly dreadful Stuart Blackburn) showed Emmerdale can pull off incredible episodes, and it deserves its place in the UK TV schedules as a brilliant daily drama. And 9.1m for Corrie's brilliant hour-special last night is just fabulous. The show is riding high and I think a lot of the people up in arms about Tina/Peter are just disgusted at the characters for reverting to form (Peter's cheating on his 5th wife now and Tina's using her beauty to ensnare men - both as bad as each other). I think as the story develops beyond the affair we will be seeing some absolutely phenomenal drama in 2014. Obviously people will beg to differ now but I think it'll be just like Molvin, criticised at the time, but the fallout and explanations and repercussions will make it make sense, and justice served! I think Stuart Blackburn is far more visionary and ahead of his time than a lot of people give him credit for. He is an architect, and has overseen 3 set moves for soaps now; he also laid all the groundwork for Kate Oates as well as doing the anniversary and pushing the Killer Cam story up ten notches. Yes some of his decisions were controversial but hey, that's life! I think he'll end up being one of the highest regarded Corrie producers, just like Collinson. (Though not everyone will like anyone!)

EE rating is atrocious and not indicative of its improved quality. Blackburn knows what he's doing it seems.

Why the heck did EE get low ratings last night? :S Pretty shocked about that. Is it because people expected it to be at 8pm or what? Was there something it was clashing with? Were people going out or something?

EE was the only soap out of it's usual time slot and was on the same time as Quantum of Solace which got over 4m. The BBC3 repeat got over 600k and I'm sure the official figure will be closer to 8m.

Corrie is on a roll everybody is moaning and groaning about SB, but nobody can deny ratings are better than ever under his tenure. itv will be pleased how the ratings are going unlike the bbc not knowing where EE next big rating will come. |

Ratings don't fall over night. Its a gradual thing. EE will regain its audience but it will take time to do so. Could be summer even autumn before EE has fully recovered ground on Corrie but knowing how much effort the BBC are putting into fixing EastEnders I have no doubt it will happen. Corrie on the other hand might find itself in a similar situation to what EE has been in if feedback is anything to go by. So don't gloat when it could come back to haunt you. just saying. Things do have a nasty habit of coming back around....

Stuart Blackburn should be commended for his work on the soaps' set moves, Emmerdale's visual revamp and the live episode, which was absolutely brilliant. However when it comes to stories and characterisation, the man flounders. Emmerdale was absolutely dreadful under his tenure. We had the Aaron/Jackson mercy killing which is the worst soap plot in history, closely followed by Maurel which is the second worst. He pursued characters like Aaron and Amy, two of the most unpleasant soap characters ever. He turned Debbie, Declan, Megan, Charity, Lisa and others into one-dimensional characters with no substance, and he killed off Carl King, one of the show's most popular characters played by an actor who wanted to stay there for many years. But he backed Carl into a corner. Sorry, Blackburn was awful at Emmerdale. I can confidently say he will NOT be highly regarded as a Corrie producer!

Christmas Day consolidated ratings are in

Christmas Day 2013 - consolidated ratings 1 - Mrs Brown's Boys: 11.52m 2 - Doctor Who: 11.14m 3 - Coronation Street: 9.83m (9.40m excl. +1) 4 - Downton Abbey: 9.41m (8.95m excl. +1) 5 - EastEnders: 9.36m 6 - Call the Midwife: 9.16m 7 - Strictly Come Dancing: 8.84m 8 - Toy Story 3: 7.33m 9 - Emmerdale: 7.07m (6.77m excl. +1) 10 - The Queen (BBC One): 5.82m 11 - ITV News (19:15): 5.73m (5.56m excl. +1) 12 - BBC News (15:10): 5.65m 13 - Michael McIntyre's Showtime: 5.26m 14 - ITV News (22:30): 5.16m (4.83m excl. +1) 15 - Paul O'Grady: For the Love of Dogs at Christmas: 5.11m (4.67m excl. +1) 16 - Tangled: 3.66m (3.07m excl. +1) 17 - BBC News (23:05): 3.34m 18 - Top of the Pops Christmas: 3.22m 19 - Home Alone 2: Lost in New York: 2.96m (2.52m excl. +1) 20 - Bear's Wild Weekends: 2.77m (2.53m excl. +1) Coronation Street is top soap on the day.

The problem with EastEnders is that I think perhaps it has a 'floating' audience of about a million viewers AKA an audience that will only watch EE if it is up to scratch. Last night's episode was poor so the floating audience probably didn't bother. It was on half-an-hour after the ITV soaps finished, which is inexplicable. It should have competed with Quantum of Solace and it would have done better. Nevertheless it got 6.9m viewers and then 0.6m caught the repeat, totalling 7.5m viewers which is actually more than Emmerdale's sub-total.
In my view, the Home Farm story is a very nasty story, spearheaded by nasty characters. Emmerdale may be able to do 'incredible' episodes now and again, but most day-to-day episodes are pants. Corrie's one-hour special last night was absolutely dire in my view, with some of the cringiest dialogue I've ever heard.

EE hasn't been poor since before Halloween with one or two exceptions (mostly anything involving Sam and a kidney) |

Even though Emmerdale was a head of it in the Overnights 9 times out of 10 EastEnders was above it in general. (In the officials) |

Be interesting to see what Corrie gets on Monday. I know a few people aren't watching because its too close to home. I wonder if this will be echoed? I think they dragged it out a little longer than they should have tbh.

I understand, but those y-o-y drops are very concerning, not just for snow day vs Friday night (which is understandable) but also this year so far, not even Mondays getting 9m. That may all change tomorrow for Hayley but overall they seem to be shedding a lot of viewers.

EE was averaeing a share of 29% not so long ago, and Corie's 35% share is still pretty healthy. But I do think Corrie is going to shed more viewers as the year progresses, as Stuart Blackburn's endless misery continues to alienate its viewers.
Regarding tomorrow's Corrie I suspect it's ratings will be high for both episodes. A death of a popular character + a lot of promotion via ITV + It's had some front page headlines this week from the Daily Mirror and the sun. It even got a feature in my local newspaper too. |

On Wednesday where EastEnders doesn't normally air and was against Great British Bake off which got over 4million and there was a football match on too so EastEnders held up pretty well. That's the lowest share it's had for sometime (Minus the extra Wednesday showings)

Is a Power surge possible??? I'll phone up Bob after the episode finishes, he usually knows. |
