This has been mentioned before, however the BBC press office site still states EastEnders will be on BBC1 at least on the Monday and Tuesday of the first week. It does conflict with the timings of the Olympics programming as well, so either they are slipping it in in the middle, or the press office site is incorrect.

I think if they just moved it to bbc 2 for the whole olympic time it would be easier for people!!!

Why can't they just put the Olympics on BBC 2 instead.

So you expect the biggest sporting event in your life time, which is gonna be watched by milions worldwide, and god knows how many millions they spent on getting the games to london, which will put the country on the map.

You expect it to be put on a secondary channel, just because your beloved soaps will have to be changed, i like eastenders also, but there is no way, i can see why they would put olmpyics on BBC2.

Except maybe if the news is on BBC1, and a final is happening.

I guess its a dificult one, as the BBC, obviously have a big sporting event possibly the biggest in the world happy our country, but also have to keep regular viewers of shows happening.

In a way its a pity ITV couldnt have shared the olmpyics, they could have, worked out a schedule then to have kept the soaps like the football.

And i am sure even you most dedicated eastenders fans, will probably watch some the olmypics.

Because the Olympics is far more important especially as we're hosting it.
What's the hardship in pressing 2 instead of 1

cause the olympics will get double the ratings of Eastenders probably and therefore it makes more sense to put your top rated shows on BBC1. Besides you can always press 2 rather than 1 on your remote.

Wonder how badly Corrie & Emmerdale will be impacted by the Olympics.

Are you actually being serious? The biggest sporting event in recent years being put on BBC2 for Eastenders. Yeah sure what a brilliant idea. Let's put everything on hold for the soaps.

The only thing staying on BBC1 is the news, since regional news can't be shown on BBC2 for various technical reasons I won't go into now.

Will Sky+ be able to keep up with all the channel changes or are we going to have to record in the old fashioned way ... set up every episode individually?

HAHA had to laugh at people asking why the olympics cant be on bbc2, im not a sport lover and im an eastenders fan but the olympics are the biggest event in world sport and we are hosting them, when it comes to the olympics even the great and good of eastenders has to be sidelined im afraid.

Yeah...Sky+/Virgin+/Freeview+ will record EastEnders on BBC2

Yup and other than the BBC News the only thing staying on BBC1 is the Late Night EastEnders omnibus

Wonder how badly Corrie & Emmerdale will be impacted by the Olympics.
All soaps/TV shows will be dented by quite some

Yep it makes sense for it to be on BBC1

Because the Olympics is far more important especially as we're hosting it.

Had the Olympics not been Hosted in The UK then of course it wouldn't be such a big thing and BBC1 would remain pretty much normal (as it has in the past)

As there's NO BBC2HD channel yet you can watch EastEnders in HD on the BBCHDChannel

I will be watching the Opening and Closing because im proud to be British. Like alot of people will watch both but not really interested in the actual games. Us English can put on a good show and i think the Opening is going to be brilliant

It's NOT EastEnders will just record on BBC2 and you don't even need to touch it.

It's this. EastEnders,Holby and a couple of other shows will be on BBC2 for the whole 2 weeks (Other shows will be rested untill after the games)

With the way Eastenders is going in its current state it would be better all round to drop it until the games are over.
