Jesus, looking at that list outside of the soaps and news, what a low night!

Not too shabby for EE against GBBO
Pretty poor for the FA Cup replay. A distant third and even beaten by WR. No wonder they were glad to get shot. |

EastEnders hasn't done as bad as I expected it would have these past Wednesdays.
Wonder if its enough to make the BBC go five nights. I'm convinced this has been a trial run. It has echos of when they kept doing the random four episode test run in 1999. I love the show but it's got to be remembered EE runs around 4-5 mins longer per episode than it's rivals due to lack of ad breaks so it's already doing almost the equivalent in onscreen content as Corrie's 5 episodes a week. I think BBC need another soap to take some of the heat off EE as it's alone in primetime. Eldorado anyone?

No way should BBC TWO should have gone with their top rated show against BBC One's top rated programme. I dont know what the schedulers think sometimes.

If we get another batch of five episodes a week around Easter time then I really do think we can assume the production team are being tested to see if they can cope with an increase. I do think the time is coming where EE will go five nights. Its not an if anymore in my opinion its a when. Not many shows are able to hit at least 6 million each night. I think they have always wanted EE five nights its just been a case of when the time is right.

Doubt they are looking at five episodes a week. They are trying to fix the other four so they wouldn't want to bring in another at this stage when the others dont get to 8 million.
Fixed more like. The show is superb at the moment. |

TV is boring, that's why the low ratings.
Unless there is an overwhelming reason to watch... why bother? Most nights the main channels have exactly the same programmes, such programming is obviously going to be very dilute. |

Based on last night's absolutely normal numbers for EE and GBBO perhaps they are not such idiots after all... |

I guess they assume everyone PVRs and they assume limited EE and GBBO cross over.

UK TV Ratings @TVRatingsUK 39s
After news and soaps, #GBBOSportRelief was yesterday's most watched programme, with 4.31m/18.5% for @BBCTwo. @BritishBakeOff Looks like 9pm didn't exactly light the ratings on fire then for the main two channels.

I agree with this and I felt another soap should have been created to compliment "EastEnders" something completely different. They should create another brand rather than exhaust "EastEnders"

So, does The One Show count as news or a soap then?

Get rid of WR and replace it with a twice a week continuing drama. |

Thats why they created Eldorado and the failure of Eldorado is the reason Holby and Casualty and eventually Waterloo Road were adapted into continuing dramas rather than the the original series concept.

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.

They are in production with Dickensian, a soap set in Victorian times that feature characters from Dickens novels all living in the same stratosphere. The programme has not yet been given a definitive amount of episodes.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/new...aturing-520080 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

Is that one of the closest 9pm battles between all 5 main channels in a long time? All within 1.3m of each other.
BBC1- Waterloo Road- 3.33m + Live at the Apollo- 2.15m ITV1- 3.27m Ch4- 24 Hrs in A&E- 2.60m CH5- Celebrity Big Brother- 2.49m BBC2- Wild Brazil- 2.03m |

Really? Neat concept not sure it will translate well with broad audience.
