I must say I don't think I can stomach another telethon this year!
4m I reckon for Text Santa. Ken I felt that the Eastenders episode tonight was a bit of a let down. I can't see it drawing alot of viewers back in but it should rate near 9m anyway. |

EastEnders should see a rise tonight, even if the result was predictable, and the build up poor, we always knew the fall out, would be good, that is what EastEnders is best at.
Would like to say ratings will be 8 million but im just not sure, BBC 3 has been in the toilet since the 22:30 move. Yes ratings will go up Christmas Day, but like tonight's, im not sure it will be by enough. A decent Wednesday for the BBC, even The One Show preformed well. D.M.N. its not Rich in 5 Minutes is it? |

Twitter was eastenders mad tonight. I'm hoping for high ratings, but I think 8-8.5million will be the highest.

I agree that Text Santa will get about 4m. I think it is only in its second year and it could grow from year to year. It definitely is getting alot more promotion this year and could have a good feeling around it during the festive season.

Last night was the press showing for EastEnders xmas and a lot of critcs were shocked by the secret of Max (which the viewers are not aware off) I think BBC wil move the repeat back to 10:00pm next year BBC EastEnders @bbceastenders EastEnders had NINETEEN trending topics in tonight's episode. We need a cold flannel and a lie down after that. What about you? #eastenders |

I do hope the Christmas Day episode is good, but Maxs secret needs to be jaw dropping, and also I just cant see EE get the big ratings this Christmas, the past few months have done the show no favours. Tonight wont be enough. |

I am no fan of Twitter trends. A 10pm move back would be nice.

Everyone will have finished work (mostly) shops will be closed and there's a fantastic line up on BBC1 too. the 9:00pm slot should work well right after Merlin |

Not at all, If people are talking about it.....
EastEnders is top UK Trend and has 5 others tonight and one worldwide. Im hoping for at least 8million but I feel it will fall short (Just) BBC3 might see a nice boost but I think the officials could be pretty high This is something which Coronation Street will probably not get due to the bizarre, random placement of tonight's episode yet again. Why do they do it? It'd be better off locked in it's usual schedule instead of expecting people to chase it around the schedule. Saying that, it didn't hurt Last Tango in Halifax last night which picked up a brilliant rating considering the switch in nights. Town barely grabbed anyone's attention and completely collapsed in the end while BBC Two had a steady if unspectacular night. I hope Extreme Railways continues to perform decently for Channel 5; I caught a bit last night and thought it was very interesting. THE CHRISTMAS BUMPER PREDICTION SCHEDULE CAN BE FOUND HERE. |

Channel 4, prime time seems adrift. People are not being drawn to it.
My own opinion is the talent is now stale. And the formats are just them having middleclass self indulgent 'adventures'. Making Christmas, going wild, Creating huge food... whatever... I'm not drawn to it and neither are the viewers. Considering the amount spent on these big talent formats, compared to the docs that go out at 10pm, there is no bang for the buck. The documentaries are within touching distance of them or above in viewing figures, and get a better share. 20:00 - Kirstie's Vintage Christmas: 1.28m (5.7%) , +1: 173k 21:00 - Heston's Fantastical Christmas: 1.58m (6.7%) , +1: 243k 22:00 - The Twins Who Share A Body: 1.34m (7.4%) , +1: 191k Quote:
Hardly story of the day, I know, but C4 News was getting closer to 700k last time I remember seeing its ratings reported here. Considering they've had a really big week (Plebgate scoop), that's a disappointing number.

ITV Sport will be delighted with Arsenal and Man U's rivals in the second round of the ECL. Should Man U in particular become a cliffhanger, then ratings should be very high.
However, this is a poisoned chalice as if both teams, and Celtic, go out, then the ECL will become another Tuesday flopzone candidate. Yet for now ITV must be delighted with the draw. The draw has certainly been kind to ITV. But if all 3 get knocked out (I think Arsenal is a certainty) then it may be a bit messy for ITV in QF. |

Eastenders last 6 months' main storyline has all been building up to tonight's episode. If with all the build up and promotion BBC has been giving this episode, Eastenders cant get 8.5million that will be a bad rating.

They need to reduce EastEnders to two episodes per week and get Simon Ashdown to write the episodes. Tonights was very good and you can tell the difference immediately when it is a quality written episode.
He's not just a writer though which is why he only writes some of the big storylines. Chris reason has been there since 1998 (or so) and a couple of others so it's really only the newer lot that's Kirkwood bought it don't really know EastEnders. |

of course the cast will say that. As for the critics, it would hardly be the first time, the TV critics have been part of the build up hype. They are not exactly Newsnight journalists, (for what little that means any more_ in how they deal with the reporting of soap news.
Could Max's secret be:
Spoiler
That would be shocking for Max! |

I didn't see EastEnders tonight (I haven't watched it for a good month or so) but I was aware that Kat's lover was revealed due to people at work talking about it and seeing the trailer on BBC1. It sounds like it was a big episode, so I'm expecting the BBC1 7.30pm showing to see a significant rise of about a million (8.5-8.7m). If it falls short of 8m, it will be an extremely disappointing result.
As for last night, what on earth happened to The Town? I wasn't expecting it to fall so low! Coronation Street is doing OK, but it should be doing a lot better. And it deserves to as it's been brilliant recently. |

If they were critics from What's On TV, TV Choice and Inside Soap they'll be easily pleased!
well the guy from the Star and the Mirror which seems to slate EastEnders at every given chance Quote:

However, this is a poisoned chalice as if both teams, and Celtic, go out, then the ECL will become another Tuesday flopzone candidate. Yet for now ITV must be delighted with the draw. Galatasaray v FC Schalke Celtic v Juventus Arsenal v Bayern Munich Shakhtar Donetsk v Borussia Dortmund AC Milan v Barcelona Real Madrid v Manchester United Valencia v Paris St Germain FC Porto v Malaga ITV will have Celtic v Juventus in week 1, Arsenal v Bayern Munich in week 2, the second leg of Man Utd v Real Madrid in week 3 and almost certainly show Barcelona v AC Milan in week 4 - so three very nice Brit ties and probably the least-worse scenario when it comes to an all foreign tie. Europa League last-32 draw: Zenit St Petersburg v Liverpool (5pm) Newcastle v FC Metalist Kharkiv (8pm) Sparta Prague v Chelsea (6pm) Tottenham v Lyon (8pm) Can't see any of those being promoted to ITV1 - and I would guess ITV stick with their usual Liverpool/Tottenham combo unless the 5pm kick-off puts them off. The draw for the last 16 has also been made - potentially a match up between Chelsea and Inter Milan, but nothing too exciting in the other ties. |

ITV's flopzone Tuesday may disappear next week but it'll be back with a vengence the week after.
ITV's New Year's Day schedule: 7.00 Royal Babies 8.00 Who Wants To Be A Millionaire (on against an hour-long Eastenders) 9.00 Gary Barlow And Friends (on against Miranda and Mrs Brown's Boys) Owch. Incidentally, does anyone know when ITV1 officially reverts back to being called ITV? |

I disagree with Dan2008 and think that if EE doesn't see a boost it will be a disappointment, especially with the blanket promotion for this episode. |

Well, considering Coronation Street didn't get anywhere near 10m for its heavily hyped episodes based around Peter and Carla's return (an excellent trailer in my humble soap-hating opinion) then no chance.
