Really? Neat concept not sure it will translate well with broad audience.
I still think they're mad not to revive Elodrado - its a great concept and it's so potent in the face os the European "invasion" cough cough and the economic "collapse" of the EU. There's so many stories to tell there. And people live sunshine ![]() 7.00pm The One Show 8.00 EastEnders 8.30 Dickensian 9.00 The Apprentice That is already a much stronger Wednesday night line up than we've had since, well the last time The Apprentice was on. |

Bake off making its presence felt and Eastenders suffering. Viewers not filling their seats early for the build up to the Coronation Street event which presumably means Monday will see a big peak but then drop off very quickly. Soaps have it tough these days, you cant have a landmark death (or landmark anything) every week. The Chase looks low, Pointless really seen to thrive by being constantly there, whether its public or celebrity. Weakest Link lasted for years and years but I never ever understood why it did so well-Pointless is showing the same signs of longevity but its a much stronger format imo. |

I wouldn't say "EastEnders" should be popping the champange corks just yet. Some scenes and characters dont work still and its a work in progress. Much more watchable though, but what about gaining a new audience for it or trying to bring back the fans who were lost amongst the Newman era.
I think you're being picky to be honest. It'll never be perfect and never was! There's a few little things to sort out but for the average viewer i think these are not really a problem. And it's not like DTC hasn't instilled absolute faith in a vast majority of people he can deliver. He's not dropped the ball on one thing i can think of so far to my taste anyway. |

I agree that a January relaunch of "Eldorado" would work in s completely different form. The production and stories would have to match the concept though. It probably would rate as well as "Emmerdale" and definately more than "Waterloo Road" !
And time it for the launch of +1 so that any attempt to sabotage the launch by ITV by scheduling clashes with the other soaps is rendered impotent. Pow! |

The BBCs Dickens soap sounds like a Hollywood "high concept" piece of junk.
Gimmicky. It's got built in marketing appeal, but is a trash concept not worthy of the BBC. Rather than develop that thing why not an original take on that period of time? Maybe in the modern age to show that nothing really changes. |

I think this is why "EastEnders" should build in a landmark episode. Its consistent but there is nothing to say viewers haven't tuned out on a long term basis. You need a hook to bring them back in and that's not just Danny Dyer or Lindsey Coulson acting her socks off because its not event must see television that audiences have become so familiar with. I think attention spans and flexiabilty are damaging the soap audience. If its not exciting enough for viewers to put down their I pads or tablets for then its not worth tuning in for.

Indeed. Even 4-5 million would do it.
And time it for the launch of +1 so that any attempt to sabotage the launch by ITV by scheduling clashes with the other soaps is rendered impotent. Pow! Its such a controversial programme its initial audience would be huge. The media had a field day with it so would be interested to see it rebooted and on top form with great writers and cast but I would keep it to just stories on the British ex pats this time! No foriegn language sequences! |

If EastEnders does move to 5 nights a week (this has been speculated for years but never comes into fruition), I can see a Wednesday night looking like this in Autumn:
7.00pm The One Show 8.00 EastEnders 8.30 Dickensian 9.00 The Apprentice That is already a much stronger Wednesday night line up than we've had since, well the last time The Apprentice was on. |

I love Dickens novels, Bleak House a few years ago was a landmark adaptation played out like a soap twice weekly.

There's the spirit! Write something off as junk and slag it off before it's even aired. How do you know it won't be the most innovative piece of television you've ever seen? That's why nothing succeeds these days, people never want to give anything a decent chance. Yes, it might be terrible. But equally it might be superb. Why don't we wait and see?

Have to say " Bleak House" was great! It did good business for the audience figures too but "Little Dorrit" then collapsed and they didn't do any more

Well you definately cant right something off till you seen it - but it does sound wierd. Infact a Dickensian soap opera sounds OK but the characters from Dickens novels all living in the same stratosphere doesnt sound like mass appeal which surely all soap operas are supposed to be - and just when would you schedule it?

And it certainly would have to be in completely different form (including the name). Eldorado is arguably the most panned and derided programme in tv history.
In it's favour though is it's built a huge cult over the years. It ended strongly. It left people wanting more not less. It would be brave daring crazy and utterly genius to revive it |

Little Dorrit was nowhere near as good as Bleak House though. Bleak House was a masterpiece. Why don't they repeat it on Sunday afternoons?
