If he kills Phil off I won't be impressed. I don't really like Phil as a person but his character has always had good storylines and brings a lot to the show.

Unless they bring back Albion Market or Eldorado. Quality shows.
Or create a new show called Sex Factor. Which has couples having sex in front of four judges who mark their technique.

EastEnders can't be sold. The BBC make it themselves from their own production company. Its not like Bake Off where the rights come up for review every few years.

If the BBC decided to not make it any more, another production company could take over, though, couldn't they?

Only shows sold to the BBC by outside production companies on a rights deal can move from network to network. In house productions which is what EastEnders is can't and won't. |

Only if the BBC sold the rights to do so. It would be more of a money spinner for them to continue making it and then sell it to another channel for big money. A commercial channel would pay big money cos it would bring them viewers and cash from ads!

No not EastEnders. Same with Blue Peter, if the BBC called it quits it would end.

Completely wrong. In house productions cannot be sold. Only shows made by outside productions companies can.
Third party companies can sell their programmes to whoever they want and the BBC cannot control or stop that like with the bake off or when Bernie sold the f1 highlight to itv. Top gear format in addition to the actual uk show has been sold to a fair few countries and is a big money spinner for the BBC Here you go BBC worldwide. https://www.bbcworldwide.com |

Yes they can. The BBC sell the formats and rights for shows to be remade worldwide. They also sell in house productions to be aired worldwide on other networks and not just for airing on the BBC
They sell formats like Strictly world wide but BBC Productions produce EastEnders with all BBC resources at the BBC Elstree studio. If EastEnders was to be sold to Sky then EastEnders would have to move to an entirely new set outside of the BBC Elstree studio and have an entirely outside team not connected to the BBC brought in to replace all outgoing BBC Staff. So a whole brand new production team would need to be set up. Whereas shows produced by outside production companies such as Love Productions who make Bake Off, can move to network to network with ease as its Love Productions who employ all the staff. |

Top gear format in addition to the actual uk show has been sold to a fair few countries and is a big money spinner for the BBC Here you go BBC worldwide. https://www.bbcworldwide.com Rights for sport is not something the BBC is responsible for and is an entirely different discussion not related to this. The Sporting bodies related to F1 or the Football will sell to the highest bidder. The BBC have no control over this. Third Party Companies such as Love Productions can sell shows to whoever they want once the rights come up for review. EastEnders doesn't have this issue as its produced In House. Formats for shows like SCD is similar to Rights for sport and isn't anything remotely similar to the BBC selling an In House Production to a rival network. You seem confused with how TV works. I will give you an example. When the BBC axed Doctor Who no other channel could pick it up as the BBC produced it In House, so the only way it could return was when the BBC brought it back themselves in 2005. |

The notion the BBC would sell EastEnders to Sky is something that will never happen. Mainly because it can't. Sure the BBC could sell Sky a format but then Sky would have to build an Albert Square of its own and then there is the issue of characters, the BBC owns Dot Cotton for example and would they ban the use of her character on another network. This is before you even get to issues with actors contracts. EE moving to a new channel would be more complicated than Brexit. |

You don't seem to understand.

Re the f1 rights, my reference to that was because the BBC used to produce all the highlights and filming that was then shown in other countries. That was a BBC production sold on, very complicated a bit too difficult for you on a Saturday night night tho. The BBC could have sold the rights to dr who. but obviously I could say the sky is blue and the grass is green and you would say the opposite so I have put you on ignore and will leave you to try and convince someone else you are right |

The only person. Confused is you love. You should have clicked the link I posted. The purpose of BBC worldwide is to sell BBC productions worldwide and create an income. If the BBC stopped making Eastenders to show on the BBC they could continue making it and sell the production via BBC worldwide to Channel 4 who have already expressed an interest in showing it.

You posted a link to BBC Worldwide, BBC Worldwide sells BBC productions and formats to foreign countries as well as overseeing its digital releases such as DVDs. Not rival UK channels. Give me one example of the BBC selling a show it created in house and selling it to a different UK network. |

I wondered myself if they have been ordered to reduce the cast to save funds. Maybe its more to do with the millions its costing for the new set.

(I get that they wouldn't and would be crazy to do so) if it goes to any other channel there will be 6 million adverts per minute, I bet Channel 4 want it though, the swines, they nicked The great British bore off.

When and where did Channel Four express an interest in buying EastEnders? got a link ![]() and how would the BBC producing a show for a commericial network happen exactly? Government guidelines under the royal charter don't allow it. |
