You rarely used to hear from the producer up until about ten years ago. It's only since then they've become more of a 'public face'. But tbh I'm glad SOC is playing his cards close to his chest as DTC's hype often led nowhere other than disappointment.

Neither has XF. This comparing of peaks is just silly.
People didn't mock EE or Corrie or Dallas coz its ratings were 10m down on their one-off mega peaks. We did not judge Neighbours against how it did when Scott married Lenny.

If EE gets 6.3m on NYD it doesn't mean it's lost a third of its audience in 12 months.

Hi,
Does anybody have the ratings for Channel 4 Noel Edmonds Sell or swap from last night at 7pm.
Thanks.

Why are you now saying it's not a fair comparison? YOU'RE the one who unfairly attacked ADP (like you do all members of this community) comparing his defence of EE to his disdain for XF. Now you're saying EastEnders' decline is nothing like XF's, siding with ADP again. You change like the wind.
And besides, XF does bring viewers on occasions- final etc. Both shows do!

Not far off though looking at some of the Nov/Dec ratings for that year on BARB.

I wasn't the one who brought XF up. I've said (and nowhere near as much as others as I am not a regular contributor to the thread) that I think it's doing poorly but I'm not of the view ITV should axe it. It's numbers aren't yet that bad. The same is true of EastEnders. But since the soaps are now at 4-6 episodes per week it's harder for them to feel like event TV outside of anniversaries. XF has no such excuse and with better management post 2010 would've been holding up a lot better in 2016.

EastEnders could perk up now the rebuilding process is pretty much complete and drama (of the proper variety and not the cartoon sort the last EP gave us in the second half of his tenure) has returned to the show. It might not but it won't be axed at 5.5m.

I still think the new boss came in with the right approach as I barely cared about any of the characters four or five months ago.

Completely different situations, as you full well know.

Given how everybody else on this thread has said it's an unfair comparison, I don't think I'm being hypocritical.

Finally, unlike you and ADP I'm not agenda driven, so every post I make is not blighted by my viewpoint. I'm not taking anybody's "side", this is not a playground argument.

I also take exception to the fact I attack every member.

XF had 17m in 2010 and then came back in 2011 to, I don't know, 11m. So we might as well say it lost 6m viewers from one episode to the next. It was an abnormal peak, a one-off like Who Shot JR? and pollutes the sample.

That's not to say these shows don't have problems, they clearly do. Both EE and XF might be entering their winters.

BTW - people are going to have real fun with GBBO and its lost 10m viewers!

....

I'm not surprised that WoS Wrestling is trending 3rd <edit, trending 1st> or that many wrestling fans have liked it. However, I expected it to get plenty of hate too because, well it's the internet, most people dislike wrestling and many wrestling fans are too cool for school and will turn their nose up at British wrestling.

Seems I was wrong. The response is exceptionally positive, weirdly so. Whether that's enough to persuade itv that the 1m rating is okay I don't know. I can't imagine itv gets more than 1m at 4pm on a Saturday anyway so maybe it'll be fine, especially if they can export it.

ITV must be thrilled with the #worldofsport tag.

6.8m for Corrie?? It's dreadful. I hope EE timeshifts well for Christmas week especially last night as its been the best soap on TV.

Let me guess...tomorrows rating will be way over 24m/??

Happy (slightly early) New Year to the Ratings Thread on Digital Spy! May 2017 bring you prosperity, happiness, optimism, security and safety. And big ratings for the shows you love.

You keep saying you hope EE will get big ratings but the evidence, sadly, is that it isn't.

And if that's bad for Corrie, what about the EE figure. How bad is that?

Is there even a show on today to get ratings for tomorrow? If not, then I'll mean the rtings for tomorrow's show (i.e. arriving Monday morning).

Hope everybody has a fantastic New Year, be merry and have a great night! 🍾

Here's to more great ratings in 2017! 🥂🍾

Happy New Year!!

Have a good one 🥂🍾 😀

None of the big three aired today.

Ah, I see. The channels are to obusy showing Dragons' Den compilations, Robbie Williams prancing about and whatever ITV are showing.

Bring back Jason Manford's A Funny Old year.

You know very well we need to know what the wrestling got.

I see no reason why they would. Even on New Year's Eve, ITV's showing of the final Harry Potter film will do far better than that ever did.

But it's about NYE spirit, not some numbers on a spreadhseet for this one day a year. It was an amazing way to look back at 12 months in news and popular culture and it was a real revelation as far as TV was concerned IMO.

In your opinion. It didn't seem to connect with viewers though so I wasn't surprised they ditched it - the fact it even went out on New Year's Eve year after year getting 2m suggests they didn't have great faith in it. From what I saw of it, it seemed like a poorer version of similar topical shows such as Mock the Week, The Last Leg, Charlie Brooker etc (which arguably did the review of the year best). It's not an ITV thing as I liked Newzoids.

Actually I thought Corrie wasn't too bad last night

EastEnders will never not be the best soap to you, so I don't see if EE dropped in quality, your viewpoint changing.

Happy New Year

You say that every year. It never is!

Thought there would be a better place than this to mention it but a suggestion of a change temporary or not is coming after midnight
