I'm wondering if the actor was unavailable for some reason. At least I'm hoping that the Liz smashing up plates scenes were last minute filler as they were dreadful.
It seems very odd as Tony as featured in most episodes for a good while now.

And I can't see that been it. Even if he was unavailable, the episodes are filmed very far in advance so surely they could have filmed scenes later anyway as everything is filmed out of sequence. I just think it's another mishap and I assume he'll be in it tomorrow when that story comes to a head.

With regards to Corrie this week. I'm surprised people were expecting 9m this week. It was never going to shoot up that much from a relatively low base and in it's current state.

The most peculiar thing for me this week has been the strange absence of Tony pretty much all week after the affair was revealed on Monday (he's only appeared in the Tuesday episode so far).
I still think it should have been able to be over 8m on Monday & Tuesday without +1 then close to 9m with +1 for the first fire episode. It's sandwiched between BGT and been plugged relentlessly. EastEnders was in a worse state and managed over 8m for the for the first two Lucy murder week episodes last year.

If Blatter is re elected a boycott of 2018 World Cup looks likely I think. How would ITV fell without all the qualifires to show leaving them with no football except friendlies. And would anyone show the boycotted World Cup and how would it rate.

The threat of a boycott is a load of crap to be honest

I can see it being planned if most of Uefa bar Russia and Spain refuse to go. The English FA is considering it. http://www1.skysports.com/football/n...a-2018-boycott. A team sport is different to the Olympics where individual players could go at their will. Plus the FA seem much friendlier with the government (who would back a Europe wide boycott) than the Olympic association were in the 1980's. Through if Blatter would then relent due to sponsor threats would be the question. Could go either way.
Perhaps an alternative tournament would be held featuring Europe and the other countries who are boycotting.

Even #EastEnders at 7;30pm - lowish 4.9m - struggling against might of ITV's #BGT, 8.1m, then 7.7m for results with #Corrie in between, 8.9m

Big improvement for Corrie there with it winning the night for the first time. BGT performances OK but a little down (with a nicer evening yesterday I had thought that might be the case) but the biggest of the week for the results.

Channel 4 found something that works against BGT.

Inside Jaguar scored an excellent 1.53m (7.2%) at 9pm, comfortably beating both BBC2's The Game (0.92m/4.3%) and C5's The Hotel Inspector Abroad (0.86m/4.0%).

You see? Corrie around 9m which is what I said it could and should be at for a promoted episode.

You see Andy 23? You see Fudd?

Yes. Not sure exactly what it got at 11pm but probably around 80k.

Good ratings for Corrie but undeserved - last two eps were a mess, bad acting apart from the fab Jane Danson, bad writing, loads of SOR's IMO. There was no sense of panic, urgency etc. Who tries to reason with a little girl about getting out a burning building? Too hell with what she thought, I'd grab them and get the hell out.

Corrie had 8.44m (38.6%) excluding repeats.

The share is very good but it wasn't that long ago the show was getting such shares on a regular basis. Blackburn has a lot to answer for.

A weak episode, good stunt but the rest was average. I can see why fans have complained about the quality of the show. H Of De Vil I take it all back! I get it now.

Ratings will need to tank before anything changes though. That's what happened with EastEnders. And EastEnders us a bit hit and miss at the moment too.
The show has had some hefty year on year declines under Blackburn and is only marginally ahead of EastEnders most weeks. Last night's rating/share will provide some relief but only putting the effort in for two weeks of the year (NTA week/BGT week) isn't good enough.

This week's episodes have actually been mediocre, worst they have ever done in BGT week, but even weak drama is better than SB's usual output. It's also easy to sell things in trailers, especially stunts, so I'm not surprised there's some casual interest despite the farcical execution of the episodes.

I'm sure itv was also helped by BBC One's no-show schedule last night: Watchdog and a bizarrely placed Panorama documentary on the Troubles. Oh well. Public service broadcasting alternative and all that.

I think EE falling below 5m was inevitable since it was only just over it on Monday/Tuesday. At least it's managing to avoid falling to record lows.

We'll see whether it recovers, though the impact of a week long BGT clash and a further unnecessary Emmerdale clash next Tuesday may mean that EastEnders enters its depressed summer ratings phase sooner rather than later, unfortunately.

BOTS went over half a million for the first time since launch.

All the momentum will be gone again tonight with the clashes. Once again, launching in May was a bad idea.

You're right. Pick them up and carry them. And all of that talking on the balcony. What a farce. Awful episode. But got the ratings it should have sandwiched between BGT and with lots of promotion. A rating it should have managed earlier in the week too.

1.8m for Sun Trap. Ratings dropped during the broadcast apparently.

Good rating for CS all things considered. The episode was a poor advert though for the show as it was riddled with implausibility and bad acting.
