The ratings have been falling off quite rapidly have they not? The early-summer-like weather is obviously the cause - I suppose audiences will remain in 4-7 million range from now until September unless we have another cold spot.

Blimey, Eastenders 2m adrift of Corrie.
Good start for HIGNFY - always seems to get its best ratings when Clarkson presents. Not hard to see why. Great to see the disdain from that leftie no-doubt bus-user Merton. (I adore Merton, of course - I'm just joshing!)
My Family disappointing slightly after last week's great start. I watched for first time in ages and thought it was a great episode - very funny, like it used to be.
No doubt its figures will fluctuate depending on what sort of inheritance EastEnders bequeaths it. Worrying that EE has now found c7m to be its current level. I know I get shouted at when I moan about the show being on its arse, but I've been saying that since before Christmas, and it's still on its arse and showing no sign of picking up, whilst Coro St storms ahead.
I reckon EE will consistently be in third behind Emmerdale by the end of 2007. Now, there's a prediction for you...

Eastenders is on Top Form now - Even the papers have said so - Corrie may be getting better figures but They don't deserve them for what they have on offer. Eastenders have nothing to worry about next week they will be back to normal

EastEnders deserve higher ratings than Coronation Street do - EastEnders is a far better put together and dramatic piece of television than Coronation Street is. But this reminds me of the time when Corrie were the underdogs and were excellent about four years ago and EastEnders was crap and ahead of them - it takes time for the audience to readjust I think.

Keeping saying it often enough & it may become true
EastEnders is not must see tv & hasn't been for a long while now as evidenced by the viewing figures.MB

You say that every week! Let's face it, it's not must watch anymore and it's going to be very difficult for it ever to claw back the viewers it's lost.
If i were ITV i would get rid of the Friday and Sunday editions of Emmerdale for 2 months this summer and have hour long Emmerdale each Tuesday and Thursday instead. Last July EE had less than 4m against Emmerdale - imagine that for 2 months this summer. It could virtually kill off EE completely.

Surely even BBC1's scheduling numpties would move EE to 8pm if ITV did that though?

Ronant I thought You Liked Eastenders ? The New ep looks like he's going to grap attention again with contreversial issues and develpoing Great Characters
- viewers Peep Show managed to get last night?

Well it won't be that easy - for most of the summer Holby City and HolbyBlue will fill the Tue/Thu 8pm slots, so they'd have to do a lot of schedule juggling. They could put HC/HB at 7.30 and EE at 8.30, but that would just shift the problem to the two Holby's and EE would be up against The Bill on Thursday's.
Whatever they did, it would give them an almighty big headache! I don't know what ITV are waiting for really, if i was their scheduler i'd do it straight away while EE is doing so badly. Emmerdale's audience only goes down a fraction against EE so they would have nothing to lose.

I like it but it's not at it's best if you ask me at the mo. I'm just saying what i'd do if i was in charge of ITV. As an EE fan i'm quite glad i'm not!

Bit optimistic isn't it? 4m last week against the crap lottery show, this week it's up against the footie and this week the weather is even better. Plus a poor AI last week - i'd say 3.4m
I think ITV will become far more agressive under Michael Grade-its happening already. However, I am not so sure the ploy would necessarily destroy Eastenders. Emmerdale is usually stretched to an hour when something big is going on, if it becomes the norm the audience would probably become about the same each. And there would be still two other Eastenders episodes presumably untroubled.
For those that would see Eastenders axed-what would the BBC put in its place that would produce the same ratings on a regular basis? The answer is nothing-and believe me the BBC needs the share, and the leg up it gives to new shows.

Well the other two eps would be untroubled in the short term, but in the longer people would find it difficult keeping up with the storylines if they're missing Tuesday's and Thursday's episodes, and they'll start to not bother with the other two either.
I doubt it would totally destroy EE - but it will give it a hell of a lot of trouble. And it would be worth doing for ITV, as once people stop watching a soap, they don't usually return. And like you say, if EE did completely crumble, the BBC would never be able to find anything with similar sized audiences.
As i said ITV really wouldn't have anything to lose, Emmerdale's audience might be down slightly but the benefit of totally messing BBC1 around would be very worthwhile to them IMO.

Run EE at 8pm, Holby City and Holby Blue ( :yawn: ) at 8.30-9.30 and put something like Car Wars, Life of Grime or Vicar of Dibley repeats on at 9.30.
The 1 hour dramas that would have been shown at 9pm on Tues/Thurs can be shown another night instead - eg, the seemingly-forgotten 9pm Saturday drama slot. You just know that is going to be filled with Dibley repeats and other filler all summer...
