The Ark will probably air at Easter unless it's saved for Next Christmas.

It sounds like Corrie is on top form...

Coronation Street was Friday's most-watched soap (December 5) as the Websters' sofa saga continued, overnight figures show.

6.95m (35.1%) tuned in at 7.30pm on ITV as the estranged wife of the sofa seller tried to get the expensive item back from Kevin, while 6.78m (31.0%) returned at 8.30pm and 110k (0.5%) on +1 as Kevin found himself entangled in a web of lies over the situation.
Is this the best they can come up with in the run up to Christmas? No wonder soaps are struggling!

Ouch for Corrie last night. Very poor for the second episode in particular. Well they do serve the fall if a filler plot is the main storyline of the night.
It through does prove quality and ratings are not in line as Eastenders has been much better for many weeks than the corrsponding corrie episode on the same night yet always rates at least half a million less.

Why not axe an army of managers and bureaucrats.

Axing a channel but continuing to make many of its programmes anyway, is not on.

ED's lowest Friday rating since 21 Sept.

4th in a row where it has dropped lower than the previous one!

Has the decline of EastEnders not taught ITV anything? Coronation Street lurches from one awful figure to the next and yet nothing is seemingly being tried to halt the slide. Emmerdale's shares are just about holding on to respectability for the most part (relatively speaking) but Coronation Street is in a very bad place.

I suppose lasts night gay wedding may sadly put of some of Emmerdales older more conservative viewers as well.

Or the fact that it was just a rubbish episode

Fourth Friday episode in a row where it's dropped from the Thursday or fourth episode in a row where it's dropped from the previous one?

Either way, that's easily explainable and I think the show's ok as long as it doesn't dip below 30% in the 7pm slot.

DS believes Neighbours has returned to form. Good article from the soaps editor yesterday detailing why.

I have to say, not much evidence of it in the figures. 1.5m total is about average for the past 12 months. Lunchtime still doing well but not as well as it was a few months ago and ideally it would be over a million at teatime.

It could take ages to recover from a break as long as this one as well.

That is bad for Coronation Street isn't it. Sub 7m for a December nights show.

Seems harsh to single out Corrie as I don't think many shows came out of last night well when looking year-on-year.

The second episode was actually marginally up year-on-year in terms of audience share and only slightly down in terms of viewers, however the first was markedly down.

Question for Dancc: I know it's a bit premature, but with Gotham's midseason finale airing on 5 in a couple of weeks, do you have any idea when it will return post Christmas? Around February time? Thanks in advance

Read the article too, though I haven't watched the show for years.

it seems as though the producers are catering more and more for the UK audience, timing the 'cliffhangers' to coincide with the UK episodes taking a break for Christmas etc no surprise as the show is now on a digital channel in Aus, so badly needs the UK rights money.

i think corrie is singled out, partly because it has had the biggest drop of the big 3 year on year.

February I'd expect Gotham to return, but only a guess. There was nothing in that week's Programme Information to suggest when exactly it might be back.

But I think they will want to bring it back as soon as they can so that towards the end of the run we are very close to US transmission. And the timing should be right with the extended CBB for it to return almost immediately after that finishes.

Looking at all the new BBC1 drama coming up it's even more surprising that the Xmas schedule is repeat strewn.

A game is being played, I tell thee!
Certainly its an astonishing slate of upcoming drama from the BBC, and it must be more mud in the eye for the increasingly frustrated MP's/press/detractors/haters that the corporation keeps churning out such a body of challenging work. Its strange that there were periods in the three channel/four channel age when the BBC was under more pressure to deliver programming variety/success than now. The detractors must have thought their "anachronistic" BBC would have been swallowed up by now. Instead it very much remains the standard bearer.

I think, if Corrie was a sofa, it currently wouldn't be sold as part of the Manhattan range. But more of the Value range.
