Emmerdale is having extra eps because it the 1st Anniversary of the 40th Anniversary live ep and they are having BIG storylines that week.

Not sure what Corrie is upto.

Anne Widdecombe in tight lycra leaping aboard a pommel horse? Ratings platinum.

I said that Great British Bake Off would soon get over 6m in the overnights. Incredible success story!

The GBBO scored to a new series high yestaday 6.3mil. fantastic figure.

When ITV broke the bank to pay over the odds for Champions League football, did they ever expect that their coverage of a leading British team in Europe would be trounced two to one by a cake baking contest on BBC2?!

The stuff of nightmares!

Do they have an exit clause?

I can't believe how well this is doing its pretty amazing.

I can't believe this threads claims that Celtic are amazingly popular and would ruin Bake off's ratings is wrong, how could that possibly be.

I'm sure I did once see a production by the name of Come Gymnastics.

but I don't think it was on BBC1....

Soap Ratings:

Emmerdale and EastEnders both stayed above the 7 million mark in Tuesday evening's soap ratings (October 1), overnight figures show.

EastEnders appealed to 7.02m (33.3%) at 7.30pm on BBC One as David threatened to leave Walford again. BBC Three's repeat screening secured 540k (4.0%) at 10.30pm.

Holby City interested 4.63m (19.2%) at 8pm on BBC One with the show's big car crash cliffhanger.

@mediaguardian: New Tricks 6.8m/29.6%, Bake Off 6.3m/25.9%, Celtic v Barca 3.1m/13.3%, Gypsy Christening 2.2m/9.6%, Wrong Mans 2.1m/9%, Millican 1.6m/71.%"

Exactly. We flicked between Arsenal and Chelsea during the evening. Have no interest in a Scottish club.

If there were no English clubs left in the CL, then they would be something British to fall back on, as Scotland and ROI have been in past World Cups.

Champions League picks up in the later stages when British interest is there. But also, in answer to your question. I don't think they did no!

Shame The Wrong Mans lost a third of its audience. It didn't deserve that.

EF really appears to have been boosted by BBC1 taking The One Show off air in the summer and gifting the soap new viewers. Some have stayed. Monumental screw up by BBC1.

Aww shame NT fell a little great episode last night.

Lost nearly a third of its debut audience. I enjoyed part one, but can see why others didn't stick with it.

I fell asleep watching part 1 but part 2 was ok.

Anything for The Psychopath Next Door?

Last ep anyway and new series starts filming in November, so BBC1 part it back in its right place on Monday Night next year since DM will be taking its annual year off.

I have no interest in bake off, but by no means an impressive figure.


EE did decent by it's current standards for what was a very average episode. Great performance for ED.

Was that the last episode I didn't no that. Any idea what's taking its place?

DIY SOS The Big Build next week according to my trusty Radio Times.

Bake-off reality TV at its best with sadness, joy and humour. The competition for the tentmates is about to go up a notch and game plans will come to the fore. The producers seem to be favouring Frances giving the tentmates challenges which demonstrate her creative skills.

Is it true English Heritage plan to open the tent to the public as a site that's changed the face of television reality shows?

Thanks for that

Surely you mean " ....but by any means an impressive figure."

They take TOS off every summer and replace it with some sort of highlights programme although how anyone could get even one 30 minute highlights programme out of TOS is beyond me
