Sorry to start a thread on this but I noticed in another thread Emmerdale have two episodes on Thursday May 18th instead of what they normally do with head to heads it looks like this:

Emmerdale 7.00pm

EastEnders 7.30pm

Emmerdale 8.00pm

What has made ITV do this?

God, they're never going to win with some people, are they?

I'm glad it's not clashing with EE anyway.

Shit. Just looked at that listed grid and realised The Street on BBC One clashes with the BB launch show and I can only ever tape the channel I'm watching anyway I'm pleased ITV have at least for now stopped these silly ratings games.

ITV are preparing to go head-to-head with C4 over the Summer, with a bunch of naff reality TV shows on the way to try and compete with BB. Expect the soaps to be shifted around the schedules in whatever way ITV see fit in the meantime.

No, but I don't watch The Bill so it doesn't affect me.

I'd recommend one of these. Has been a lifesaver for me so far, great bit of kit! (Providing you can get Freeview)

And thus, you have proved you haven't got a clue what you're talking about.

I seriously doubt Emmerdale requested to go head to head with EastEnders. It's down to ITV and nobody else.

So is anything remotely decent happening in Emmerdale that night? It will make a nice change compared to recent episodes if there is.

Just looked at the upcoming episode psynopsis for Corrie and notice they are putting their Wednesday 16th episode on Tuesday 15th 7.30pm, presumably for football. Is this correct?

It's naive of ITV to think that people care about The Bill enough to stay watching through the whole hour to watch when every other channel will likely have something better on at 9pm, in particular The Street on BBC ONE and Big Brother of Channel 4.

Apparantly its wrong, according to other sources (i forget which now) there's no wednesday eppy and there's a double bill on friday instead.

Well I for one can't see the fascination with Big Brother, seeing as I have only ever watched the one series and got severely bored and quit halfway though. Same goes for The Street, seeing as it doesn't interest me, and therefore I will be sticking to my usual programme, watching the Bill, instead !

No they're not, it's a DS error...

That's definitely your prerogative. I'm guessing that ITV will fail and that you'll be in a minority on the night but I could well be wrong.

Sounds good, it may give Emmerdale the chance to see what ratings it would get when in a decent timeslot.
