EastEnders 7.2m (30.7%) +2.5 376k
Emmerdale 7.1m (34.0%) +1 125k EastEnders very close to being the 3rd soap yet again. I don't recall a situation before where EE has been beaten/been close to being beaten not just as a freak one off but on multiple occasions over the same few weeks. Christmas could be very interesting if these ratings continue. |

In America, Jersey Shore is rating terribly this season. The episode on Thursday got only 1.4 rating, this is a show which used to get between 4.0-5.0 rating every week until last season. This is a warning for shows over here like TOWIE, Made in Chelsea and Geordie Shore that viewers can get tired of these scripted reality shows quickly and before you know it, they could be cancelled like Jersey Shore.

Wasn't Jersey Shore announced to be finishing prior to this season due to Snooki's pregnancy. It certainly wasn't canceled for poor ratings, a 1.4 is still massive for MTV

Eastenders ratings are bad. Last Christmas, Eastenders beat Downton abbey in the overnight ratings with about 9.5million viewers to downtons 8million. But if the two shows clash this Christmas day, I think Downton abbey will beat eastenders on the day itself. Even Coro. St might get more viewers than Eastenders on Christmas day, when did that last happen?
Tonight I expect both SDC and Xfactor to be down again due to Firework displays and what not. Sunday SDC could out rate Saturday I reckon. I predict- 9.3m for SDC and 8.3 for Xfactor. Ken |

Emmerdale is still enjoying the bounce from the live show, and Eastenders suffers from having very few likeable characters from what I can see-but if we are being honest none of those figures are exactly setting the world alight given we are very much now into the dark nights. An extra 800,000 does not necessarily mean Coronation Street is thriving.
Corrie is very much no.1. It can still scrape 9m on Mondays but two episodes in one day is overkill. Reduce it to 4-5 episodes. If you reduce the episode counts and focus on quality the ratings for the soaps should increase. EE at 4 eps I think is okay but it did go down hill after they went to 4 because they never took on enough staff to make the extra episodes. They should go to 3 eps in the summer. EM should go to 4 30 mins episodes not the current mess they have. And for Christ sake ITV no random Sunday episodes they don't do well at all. 4 episodes of each soap would be fine. Ken |

No different really to how Life Stories has been doing. HIGNFY continues to do well for BBC1 - it had a bit of a wobble last year but it seems back on form this year. |

Thats very true as well. They all look as I have come to expect underwhelming. People blame multi channel TV yes it must have some factor but I think the biggest factor is quality. Is Downton can get 9m oversights and 12m officials. It's still possible for the soaps to get that. Some imagination could go quite far.

ratings have been down for nearly everything since the Olympics, EE is suffering as much as most.
the BBC is not helping, they halved the audience on BBC 3, by moving it to 10:30, whilst the Omnibus is now on in wheresville. That said the show is simply not helping itself, even the new plots are absurd, Phil and Sharon having a fake relationship so Phil can adopt Lexi, as if his relationship status is his biggest problem. Saying that im not even sure we can blame the Olympics, Corrie is doing fine, and Emmerdale is surging, so its really just EastEnders, even Hollyoaks is starting to see some better performances. (How is it Bryan Kirkwood can fail at EastEnders, yet return to Hollyoaks, and increase ratings? ) This Lucy chick quitting X-Factor, good for her, I might actually listen to her music now. |

Jonathan & Charlotte did as expected. I don't think anyone would have expected it to get over 5m.

In terms of XF, the finish at 22:05 will help it a bit more (even though the last 5 minutes will probably average around 3-4m like in previous weeks).

How did that rate for the first series - obviously not well enough to keep a 10pm slot. Talking of which C4 have Secret State (originally announced as A Very British Coup) beginning on Wednesday at 10pm, running for four weeks. That seems to have launched quite quietly and surprised really it's not going out at 9pm as most of the worthier potentially award winning but viewer losing stuff does. Indeed surely that would have made more sense to be scheduled following Homeland than Friday Night Dinner. |

I totally agree with Drifter's response to this post and would add ...
Sorry, but Jeny Agutter, Pam Ferris and Miranda Hart aren't all big mainstream names. Ferris had a high profile 12-15 years ago - but her stock has dwindled since then (nothing to do with her work - as ever, executives have their favourites, and are always moving onto someone new). Agutter is indeed well-known but has, to my knowledge, never led a series of her own. Viewing figures didn't leap when she joined Spooks. And Hart was the star of a BBC2 show - which may since have transferred to BBC One - but, again, hardly a major player. And the characters all three took were not the lead: that part went to someone new - and she is the focus of the show. CTM's success was not a given at all: other period dramas do not automatically succeed (I'd hardly call The Paradise a roaring success), and it launched against two established big hitters on ITV, Dancing On Ice and Wild At Heart, neither of which could beat it. I don't think 'big mainstream names' are an automatic shoe-in to decent ratings in the way they once were. Martin Clunes may have got half-decent ratings in A Mother's Son, but they were hardly comparable to CTM's. And DCI Banks and Monroe show that it doesn't really matter how many big mainstream names are cast in a drama - if the public aren't engaged by the premise and/or writing, it doesn't matter. I've never said that viewers will only watch something because of who's in it but it's fairly obvious that launching a drama in a genre that has not found much of a mainstream following with no familiar names is going to struggle compared to a show in a popular genre with familiar names |

The EE omnibus wasn't doing much on Sunday, so the BBC moved it to Friday night, same as the CS omnibus was moved from ITV1 on Saturday mornings as ratings were too low. Soap omnibuses don't really do much as the audience will have seen all the episodes by the weekend and are just cheap filler. However, the longest running soap omnibus is on Radio 4, where the Archers omnibus has been a Sunday morning feature since the seventies.
I remember in the late 90s the Granada regions used to repeat Corrie/Emmerdale in an afternoon, they'd sometimes be out of sync though i.e Friday's Corrie would be repeated on a Monday with Sunday's repeated on a Tuesday. This was in the days before ITV2. |

Just thinking back to the autumn of 1979, and one of the last of the legendary 15-20 million rating BBC1 Saturdays, when you had DW, Larry Grayson's Generation Game, Secret Army, Mike Yarwood, MOTD and Parkinson, clearly a diverse line up that included a war drama and fitba. However, SCD is the heir to BBC LE from the seventies and MOTD still has a devoted following. Also the Brucie connection lives on.
