Because BBC1 always has much better ratings.
They should not have to fit things around ITV1 - let them move their programmes to suit. In any other business this would be the subject of dawn raids. |

Nobody "has to" do anything. Its a gentlemans agreement AFAIK which was put in place to serve the viewer better. Welcome to the weird world of television where competitors arent really what they seem & sometimes collude with each other.
In any other business this would be the subject of dawn raids. I'm not suggesting BBC1 do anything nasty. Just ignore their commercial rival's schedule and put together whatever they like. |

the BBC should just leave ITV to it.
The BBC should air programmes when they want we should have a SCD and Coronation Street clash again and see a laughably low Figure for ITV1. I reckon it should be like including some actual times by the way ; BBC1 6:00 BBC News 6:20 EastEnders 6:50 Doctor Who 7:50 Wallace and Gromitt 8:20 EastEnders 8:50 SCD Christmas Special 9:40 The Royle Family 10:30 Gavin and Stacey 11:30 BBC News 11:45 FILM ITV1 6:00 ITV1 NEWS 6:20 Some boring repeat 6:50 Emmerdale 7:50 some other programme 9:00 Coronation Street 10:00 Comedy drama EastEnders could do really well thia year again with the 2 episodes fixed with doctor who in the middle lets hope for 12m I wonder whether people keep forgetting I'm A Celebrity starts at 8.30pm this week. I do, so always miss a bit. It is strange the ratings seem *slightly* lower than last week. Survivors took an unsurprising hit. I think BBC need to stop swicthing shows from a Sunday launch to Tuesday. Start as they mean to go on. Channel 4's Behind the Scenes show did really well, though. |

Er, they ARE doing that again this year. And in 2007 Coronation Street defeated Strictly Come Dancing in the ratings. Besides, BBC'll never dare air EastEnders against Coronation Street. While the former will probably win, it won't hit the heights of last year against Coronation Street. The Emmerdale clashes have shown that a part of EastEnders' audience is somewhat easy come easy go. Though I acknowledge Christmas is different.

Strictly improves from 10th to 6th. I'm a Celebrity improves on its previous high rating by 0.02m, but remains in 11th place. Current official yearly/series averages of some on-going programmes: 10.11m - THE X FACTOR 9.53m - CORONATION STREET 9.25m - STRICTLY COME DANCING 8.37m - EASTENDERS 6.94m - EMMERDALE Compared to the 2007 yearly/series average at same stage last year, this is how the 2008 yearly/series averages compare: - The X Factor UP 1.9m (+23.5%) - Coronation Street DOWN 562,000 (-5.6%) - Strictly Come Dancing UP 0.6m (+7.4%) - EastEnders DOWN 376,000 (-4.3%) - Emmerdale DOWN 504,000 (-6.8%) The X Factor has seen a massive increase- nearly 2m. Also Strictly has seen a nice 0.6m increase, and both shows are getting their highest ratings ever. All the soaps down, especially Emmerdale which is suffering up against an improving One Show. |

I reckon you are thinking of 1995 but there was no EE sandwich on this occasion:
http://tvlistings.thetvroomplus.com/listing-1840.html 5.00pm The Wind In The Willows 6.30pm Coronation Street 7.30pm Robson and Jerome Christmas Special 8.00pm Sister Act 9.55pm News 10.00pm Outside Edge That R&J special wasn't the Audience With you may have thought but just a dull interview with the pair interspersed with their videos. Outside Edge was the cricket sitcom that ran for a few years. It is funny to see the 'stEnders omnibus on Christmas Day 1994, but they did the same in 1988 as well. Neighbours was an odd one as they only ran it on Christmas Day in 1992 and 1995. That said, in 1980 and 1981 the Beeb showed a completely unfestive episode of Dallas on Christmas Night. That awful ITV 1993 Christmas Day schedule was the worst for this, the morning was the service followed by What's Up Doc at 10.30am, The Chart Show at 11.30am and at 12.30pm... Movies Games and Videos! On Christmas Day! |

IAC did good again but I agree that the earlier start time is lowering its ratings plus stronger competition in general. Channel 4 did well with its Coronation documentary denting both Horizon and CSI: Miami. Special Forces Heroes did well and I wouldn't be surprised if it is recomissioned.

The 8.30pm start seems to be a bit misjudged. It'll work well tonight because it has a Corrie lead-in, but last night it was starting halfway through Holby with WWTBAM acting as it's lead-in.

They could have condensed it into 60 minutes anyway. Some parts did start to lag last night, especially with the big characters now going they may struggle with 90 minutes.

Tonight has the Corrie lead in so i'd expect around 8.4m. The current series average is 8.2m. Highest rating is 9.6m, lowest is 7.4m. |

Personally all the 90 minute IAC's that I've been watching are far too stretched out and aren't needed, 60 minutes is plenty of time to fit everything in and this reflected in the ratings.
No real surprise Emmerdale won the hour overall considering the high profile storyline and ITV's advertising. |

I am surprised that the IAC ratings are still holding up well. I haven't watched it for a good few nights as it's the same thing day in day out and all the big characters are starting to leave - it must obviously still please the majority though and ITV should be happy with its ratings. Despite the WWTBAM lead in and the start time of 8:30, it still got a decent rating even if it's the lowest of the series so far.
The BBC Christmas Night line up looks fantastic

Mind you - this show is only as good as it is due to Ant & Dec. The filler is often better than the actual celebs!!
It depends what you call filler, the 60 min shows have seemed quite rushed as once you get the bushtucker trial, celebrity chest and eviction out of the way there is very little time to show what is going on in the camp, meaning evictees' highlights packages are showing clips that we've never seen before |

No wonder people are starting to go off Christmas What a disappointment! Besides, BBC One after The Queen on Christmas Day consists of 3 hours of family movies, an hour of family drama, 1/2 hour of family comedy, an hour of entertainment, an hour of more mature comedy and an hour of documentary, ...and yes, an hour of soap too. Seems like a fairly balanced line up if you ask me.
