Looks about right for CBB, in line with last year.

Thats a huge drop for bigblue live??

I wonder what the Stephen Fry doc would of got if corrie had of been on at 8.30 ? Instead of flopstars 😄

He was popular in Jeeves & Wooster and Kingdom. And I think he did do a documentary for ITV that rated better. He had a BBC1 documentary that rated better though.

It was facing soaps on ITV.

As I sai before, ITV gave it Flockstars as a lead in which no doubt was around 1.5m last night. Again ITV cock up with scheduling.

I think a change at the top is needed now, and a new scheduler who is not useless.

2.15m for CBB, 0.74m for BOTS (both exc +1)

Good for CS. ED better than Tuesday. Audience went up during the clash period.

It was a very good documentary but it was in the wrong place. It should have been on a Sunday when ITV has very little else on.

It does surprise me that all these extra episodes of the soaps haven't been used on a Sunday evening. With Corrie on at 7 or 7.30pm on a Sunday (even including Emmerdale), it would have given ITV factual a lift following straight afterwards.

Excellent for Coronation Street and Emmerdale, 4.4 million for Eastenders is just embarrasing.

I admit it's not good for eastenders but we know by now when it clashes with Emmerdale, Emmerdale comes out on top ed does start earlier so has an advantage.

It looks like it's going to be a regular thing unfortunately 😠😠😠

Not at all. Emmerdale gets 30 minutes head start which doesnt help EastEnders at all. It was expected. Same for the next few Tues & Thurs. The episode was embarrasing though. It was all very light hearted until the last minute or so. I for one wasnt impressed but it seems others on the soap forum seemed to enjoy it which i am totallly surprised about. For me it wasnt EastEnders.
They have a huge Sept and Oct planned so i guess the BBC will want to avoid some clashes.

Perhaps the BBC should have pulled the Tuesday episode and combined it together with a Thursday episode starting at 7pm. Equal start times for both soaps would even things out a little. However would that be classed as an unfair clash ?

ITV are willing to let the weekends fall apart share wise in order to do damage Eastenders. It all seems a little bizarre considering that ITV are moaning about clashes that affect their shows.

I wonder if BBC1 could realistically get away with moving EE to 8.30 on a Tues/thurs. I notice a few eps have aired at 8.30 wonder if its an attempt to gauge reaction

2.22m is not terrible for CBB, last summer got 2.34m.But its a bit meh.

Yeah hoped for better but it's not terrible.

The BBC tend ti move EastEnders on A Thursday at 8:30 ( I assume because of that Big Blue Live thing they didnt) But they dont seem to on a Tuesday because of Holby. There is a few options though.

Have Holby air 7:30-8:30 and EastEnders at 8:30 or Air bake off Wednesday at 7:30 against Corrie and putting EastEnders in at 8:30
I think that wednesday would do BBC1 well.


Thats my thinking too.

Not bad for Celebrity Big Brother. Second place after the BBC as well.

Putting Bake-Off at 7:30pm followed by Eastenders at 8:30pm for the next few weeks to avoid the Tuesday/Thursday Emmerdale clashes would certainly have ITV in a pickle in the run up to their live Corrie.

Good start for CBB. It was already kicking off on the live feed last night so looks promising.

The BBC need to move Eastenders to 8:30 during clashes, it got 5.9 million when they did that last week.

I agree to an extent as it is damaging Eastenders figures but on the other hand why should the bbc move one of its top shows that has had the same slot for 30 years because itv is being so aggressive with soap schedule.

I wonder what these eps will time shift like. It would be interesting to know numbers for all the versions of iPlayer but it's available on so many platforms I guess it would be impossible to keep track ?????

A rpt of Parking Mad at 10.45pm on BBC1 beats everything on ITV bar soaps. Say it all really doesn't it.

Fincham needs to move on. These sub 2m ratings are becoming depressing frequent.

ED had 5.61m - during the clash with EE it had 5.66m
Therefore it only had 5.56m for the first half hour when it wasn't up against EE.

Quite bizarre that it gained viewers during the clash with EE?
