Not for the BBC One showing.

Actually I don't include BBC Three ratings therefore it is under seven million, if BBC One had a plus one channel then it would be acceptable to include the plus ratings but the repeat is on Three.
Actually if you look rather then just claiming you will see the BBC1 showing had 7.4m and BBC3 had 500k see DS round up

Emmerdale losing its sparkle slowly, pretty soon all the first showings will be 6m or less, it just doesn't pull in those extra viewers.

As for EE all we can hope that the BBC3 figures remain strong and episodes timeshift well + iPlayer of course.....I work 4-8 shifts now, so I have to record or iPlayer any Soaps I wish to watch.
Emmerdale is losing its sparkle that I agree, and yes before long a six million first showing will be the norm for all prime time soaps and I can see that happening within the next year.

Ratings for all terrestrial channels have dramatically declined since 2005 and the soaps in particular have been hit harder as they had further to fall. Within five years I expect Emmerdale back in daytime and EE and Corrie clinging on for dear life in prime time.

And yet still declining, the end of October and still no 8 million, what the hell is Newman doing to stop the rot? nothing it appears and still the mess continues. If it fails to be top dog on Christmas Day then she will have problems.

Lets hope the new overall boss kicks her ass to the kerb and gets someone who actually has fresh ideas and the intelligence to stop the rot.

Surprised Eastenders still hasnt got over 8million this Autumn. During the summer people were saying it was because of BBQs but last two months it must be because of bad quality because the weather isnt good.

Did Lorraine Newman steal your crisps once?

You sound obsessed with her performance and Eastenders's ratings. You really need to get another hobby.

Eastenders was unlucky the last couple years a lot of its most loved characters like Peggy Mitchell, Pat, Dot Cotton and Stacey left. They were part of the furniture of the show, the first three anyway, and new characters who have come in arent so loved by audiences. Itd be like Coro St. without Ken and Deidre, the fans who love them would get annoyed and potentially switch off. Sharon Watts is back but her return didnt do anything for the ratings.

Well if does not hit 8 million before the end of October then I have lost a fifty quid bet, if it had not been due to the money aspect then I'd not care a jot.

Mate if you have to resort to pathetic replies then please do not reply to my posts.

Anyway if the show or any BBC production is not performing as it should then I have every right to question the production values, team, scripts and acting. After all like 20 odd million others fund this via the license fee hence I like everyone else has a vested interest in how the BBC spends its funding and that it is maximised to ensure top quality production.

It's being reported that the editor of Daybreak, David Kermode, is standing down next month as the recent relaunch has failed to improve on ratings. It has been averaging 700,000 against the BBC's 1.5 million. One wonders how long ITV will keep on trying.......
How sad. The poor bloke never had a chance tasked with mission impossible and given just a couple of months to get a positive result.

At least Kermode will find work easily elsewhere. Nobody is going to judge him for not meeting ITV's unrealistic demands. Daybreak meanwhile has just about ran out of chances as far as viewers are concerned.
Daybreak continues to fail then, ITV must be tearing its hair out, not knowing what to do.
Change the name?

How about "TV-am"? That sounds suitably "fresh", to use the mot du jour....
I was surprised that ITV kept the Daybreak name around for this latest revamp, when there was nothing else from the firs Daybreak showing left.

No question the show will need a new name, but im not sure how much more they can fiddle the format.
Is Daybreak such a damaged brand name that perhaps it would have been better to change the title after the relaunch? Let BBC Breakfast do the news and Daybreak be a magazine show.

7.00m for EastEnders is from 19:30 to 20:00, 7.4m is tape-checked from 19:30 to 19:55.

Love the way you always refer to TV execs just by their surnames. Are you one of Harry Enfield's 'Self-Righteous Brothers'?

"Oi, Newman, NO......"

A good excuse would be that it actually got 7.4m!

Comfortably ahead of both Ems too.
Why is it only getting 7.4 on October 25th?

How did Red Dwarf X fare on Dave?
I have 980k but that seems like a massive drop from last week.

Another relaunch is going to be hugely humiliating for ITV, they might as well bring back Chiles and Bleakley..It should be looking at a totally different type of programme in the early morning.

So it's alright to include an airing an hour after original transmission, but not for a repeat two hours after? What bizarre logic.

Decent figure for Town with Tourettes on C4....

Time to replace Daybreak with News hours and an extended Lorraine.....send Aled back to Songs of Praise or the valleys.....


Got to agree about Daybreak - Try 6-7am Text service, 7-8am The ITN News Hour, 8-9.25am Lorraine.

All this talk of "sub-8m EE"....

w/e 14 October

3 EASTENDERS (MON 2000) 8.50
4 EASTENDERS (TUE 1928) 8.37
5 EASTENDERS (THU 1929) 8.28

w/e 7 October

4 EASTENDERS (TUE 1928) 8.32
5 EASTENDERS (FRI 1959) 8.10

w/e 30 September

2 EASTENDERS (MON 2000) 8.27
3 EASTENDERS (TUE 1930) 8.26
4 EASTENDERS (THU 1929) 8.00

w/e 23 September

2 EASTENDERS (MON 2000) 8.50
3 EASTENDERS (TUE 1929) 8.09

I could go on...

Overnights are increasingly irrelevant, as I have pointed out once or twice.

And especially for BBC shows attracting a younger, more mobile, more upmarket audience than ones pitched at ITV's grannies and dole-dossers.



Seriously, I would think EE will be back at 9m levels soon as winter sets in, and touching 10m now and then by Christmas.

Split in to two parts on Christmas night, hopefully, it will do fine. I think a 2nd half of EE and The Royles will perform admirably against Downton.

If I had a large sum of money and were willing to bet it, I'd certainly wager that a relaunch of The Big Breakfast on ITV would pull in more than Daybreak. And would probably be on the same level budget wise, or perhaps even lower. The Big Breakfast was of course axed, but these are different times. At its worst it was probably better than half of the stuff we get fed now. I suspect a lot of its young audience who are now in their 30s/40s would be feeling very nostalgic and receptive to something alternative and loud in the morning.
Am I right in saying that ITV own the rights to The Big Breakfast?

Daybreak, GMTV, that whole operation is dead. They need a completely different direction now.
