What, even after the endless posts you seem to have started everywhere over DS

If it doesn't it doesn't
Not the end of the world now is it.One thing i do know EastEnder WILL be the most watched programe on Thursday

Everybody does their weekly shop on a Thursday night. That's why Corrie does crap on a Thursday as well.

Have i?
I mentioned it here and in the episode thread (which i made tonight)

I could mention it millions of times and wouldn't really make a differance UNLESS of course everyone on the soap forums has a BARB Box

What even after their BIG episodes on Monday where 10million people tuned in?

If those episodes were that good then they would tune in on Thursday also

I was talking Thursdays in general. Although in the week on Frank's murder Corrie's overnights were (incl +1 and HD)

Monday 7.30pm 9.97m
Monday 8.30pm 10.24m
Thursday 8.73m

And if Eastenders aftermath episodes were that good the viewers wouldn't tune into the football tonight, can't even get over 9 million with the aftermath episode yesterday with little to no competition from any other channel.

Less people watch TV on Tuesdays, 39.9% share is excellent and well up on Mondays.

It was a very good episode but of course and i say this again EastEnders is out of it's time slot tonight which is why Tomorrows is likely to be the biggest episode of the week

I expect no more than 7.9m tonight at all

It's highest share for a whille too is it not?

plus the football is live, so people are more likely to watch it live over the pre recorded EastEnders.

Only is they are Males remember....But of course 'FEW' males watch soaps

why are we talking EE vs Football anyways, ive looked on Digiguide, I cant see any football on TV this week.

Chelsea VS (Manu?) on Sky Sports

It is Man City v Chelsea.

I see, thanks would never have noticed that.(not having Sky and all)

at least its not this (expect replace Doctor Who with EastEnders, and Man U, with Man C)

Those ratings for Unforgettable seem OK. Have seen comments that it might be axed but surely 12 million at 10 pm is enough for a series 2?

As for Sky not naming its new service as Sky, but calling it Now TV - maybe they can relaunch it at Christmas as Sky Now and abbreviate to SNOW TV.

And in case it has not been noted, Sky opened up their Anytime + service to all broadband suppliers yesterday with a totally soft launch (as in no publicity - presumably to avoid being swamped).

So there are now many more ways to watch programming than before via Sky boxes. A cut down ITV player is there at launch with the full version and BBC i player coming soon.

Anyone with another BB supplier just has to go on the Sky web site, change their package by adding Anytime + (it is free) and it will be on their box soon after.

ITV1 are showing The Unforgettable Russell Harty at 7.30. Cries of "who?" from everyone under 35.

The Unforgettable programmes seemed to have underperformed in that slot, even without tough BBC1 competition, and no disrespect to the late Russell, but this one seems to be one of the least appealling editions. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the lowest rated of ITV1's Eastenders opponents this week.




edit: ITV's Unforgettable not related to the American Unforgettable mentioned above ^^

that or everybody reaching for wikipedia.

Looks like I might have heard of him, had he not died in his 50s

There is certainly no strong, non football competition tonight.

how comes Thursday 5th April is all TBA on E4, when it should at least be a new episode of Big Bang Theory, and the continued repeat of HIMYM?

TV Choice has it down for next Tuesday at 9pm


Isn't it just scheduled wherever there is space during the week it is due to air?


To be fair to the BBC they do trail Panorama most Mondays on the news channel and sometimes in BBC1 bulletins - usually in the form of a report that acts as a condensed version of that night's show

Total viewers aren't important its all about the demo. Although for CBS 12 million isn't something they'd be desperate to cling onto anyway.

In and of itself Unforgettable isn't rating that badly especially not for a new 10PM drama. The problem is that it airs on CBS and the bar for CBS is just much higher than everywhere else right now. I suspect Unforgettable will finish as CBS' lowest rated hour Monday-Thursday and probably their second or third lowest rated hour Sunday-Thursday. In fact even including the Friday shows it might not move beyond fourth or fifth. I'd be surprised if they renew it. They don't have the space.


Presumably the lack of Sky branding is to distance the service from Sky in the hope that the 'anti-Sky' brigade will be more receptive to it. And in the event that it fails it doesn't contaminate the Sky branding quite so much.

I'm still not entirely sure what they're thinking with Now TV though. The launch service appears to be just a stripped back version of Netflix and LoveFilm so its not entirely clear to me what the appeal is. The eventual addition of sports content and entertainment will obviously give it an edge but the battle may already be lost by then. I can't help but feel they're rushing this and the whole thing is launching without its USP.

talking of The Big Bang Theory

E4 is having what im sure will be billed as a Big Bang Theory Night

20:00 - The Big Bang Theory: Access All Areas
20:35: - The Big Bang Theory: Episode 100
21:00 - The Big Bang Theory: Episode 101
21:30 - The Big Bang Theory: It All Started With A Big Bang

Not necessarily. It's been doing relatively OK on Thursdays, sometimes beating EE, but it would be performing far better on Wednesdays where it used to be.

EastEnders will be fine. It's got little in terms of competition anyway.

Nice way to mark 100 episodes, I like it.

I haven't enjoyed this season as much as the others so far, but we're only halfway through.
