People so watch on catch up, but I don't think that many do. I'd say around 2 - 3 million, but catch up existed in 2010, and I for one would watch the soaps on record most of the time, in 2010, and well...

iPlayer, record and catch up were all available back then, and I would use them a lot of the time, along with a lot of other people. Soaps have declined in general, but as you say they are still the most watched TV shows most of the time.
