The episodes on "EastEnders" are much more sharply written directed and performed. Tonights episode was nicely put together. And Timothy West is really excellent as Stan Carter.
Hard work has gone into the show and it deserves a lucky ratings break as reward to the production team. Dominic is a clever producer and has a complete idea what the show required |

There is going to be clues along the way but a massive twist that makes the viewers go ![]() ![]() According to the Man himself. DTC and the team will be feeding the press with the wrong spoilers.Tonights Murder was secret until the Sun spoilt in and then the BBC just confirmed it. however the actual ending was different to the spoilers given. Two repeats tonight. BBC 3 10:30 and Omnibus 11:35 It's nice to see Dom has got an ex writer back for Monday and Tuesdays episodes too

Lets be realistic about this: Eastenders could have all the promotion in the world but in its current state, it's not going to hit 8million. It doesnt attract casual viewers anymore. The hardcore fans rave about it as if it's improved majestically since the last year but when it comes to the crunch: ratings-wise EE is down from the same period last year. People on Twitter like DTC, Alex Lamb, Daran Little, Kris Green and other EE staff patting each other on the back saying how amazing these next few episodes will be, most people couldnt care less. There is no doubt in my mind that EE will fail to hit 8million in the next week. Also I firmly believe the 30th Anniversary episode will struggle to hit 10m in the overnights [assuming it is a non-live ep], way down from the 16m of 2010. We have to be realistic in this day and age, with the way EE has repelled casual viewers in the last few years, EE is not in a good place ratings-wise and not even a well executed marketing campaign will change that.

Dominic is a clever producer and has a complete idea what the show required As far as audiences are concerned, I think all soaps have suffered the same fate over the last 15 years or so - namely that people are, bit by bit, less willing to make the commitment needed to watch 4 to 6 episodes per week. Its hard to get people to do that when there is so much else that they can do these days-however brilliant the product might be. |

Hope the Great North Passion thing rates better than the crowd who turned up.

Its good that is EE is producing some good drama at last, but this thread at the moment is going overboard with EE promotion. We don't need to know when the omnibus in, or BBC Three rpt, or how DTC is going to make the audience go
![]() ![]() ![]() as he drip feeds the press stories to try and up the ratings.

I think this assessment could be more accurate than people think. The quality has improved but ratings haven't. I like EastEnders but the ratings don't lie. Many of the lost viewers on BBC1 haven't gone to the iPlayer, they've just gone. The programme is better than last year but ratings are worse than last year.
Ratings tonight. 8:00pm-6:4 (33.3%) peak 7.3m BBC3-560k Omnibus-400k Monday I think will see the show get it's highest since Stan Carter joined when it reached 8m |

Gogglebox dipped 25% last week. It's now rating lower than how the 10pm episodes were rating towards the end of its previous series. People seem to be cottoning onto the production tricks and manipulated scenes which the show has, it takes away the enjoyment once you work out how it actually is filmed. It's like a structured reality show.
Just checked, and it got 2.1 Mill last week... then I think it got like 2.7 the week before and 1.8 the week before that? seems to be doing perfectly fine and I bet Channel 4 are thrilled with its performance |

Is there a reason why BBC One's schedule was all wonky today? I missed the beginning of Graham Norton and the end of Pointless...
Looking at the schedule for the whole day I can't see why they changed their usual timetable. |

Seriously tonight was laugh out loud all the way through. Don't be influenced by Samuel's hate for anything that is not on BBC, he's just grumpy. Who cares if parts are set up, if it makes you laugh.......

Have you not noticed it's a Bank Holiday - so shortened news bulletins is the main reason, though in an ideal world most of the regular schedule would be ditched all together and we'd get something a little bit more special. There is absolutely nothing of note on TV this weekend that isn't a continuing series.

Bank holidays mean shorter news bulletins? It may sound obvious to you, but not to me. Is it because less things happen on those days so there is less to talk about, or because most journalists don't want to work on those days?

Actually thinking about it you do have a point. Its not like the 24hr news channels reduce their hours on holidays so why do the main channels? Or am I missing something obvious?

The EastEnders trailer has been shown in every junction since 8:30 tonight and the announcer has also been mentioning it often as well heavily promoting the omnibus like it was airing in prime time and not at nearly Midnight. If this carries on all weekend, the rating on Monday should be like an EastEnders Christmas Day. |

Well they do actually. They often air pre-recorded fillers in the second half hour and have a single presenter doing fairly straight bulletins in the top half hour rather than 2 presenters doing rolling news throughout.

There is supposed to be posters put up over the weekend in London on Busses and Tubes ect too. |
