But how can BGT get huge ratings when surely a lot of their fanbase is younger viewers who vote in these crappy reality shows.

EE isn't doing so well atm, I'm sure it'll pick up again sometime.

Well done Corrie though.
i wouldn't say that
i think BGT has more older then younger viewers

i expect sunday's reapt and last nights 10pm bbc3 of eastenders will be higher then usual

Have you seen the audience on the BGT show? It's mostly made up of chavvy teens shouting for their lives at some sad act on stage. I would say they make up the majority of their viewing audience as they do for shows like X Factor, hence a lot of "fit" men win these shows.

Blimey you lot really are trying to kick down eastenders

If people really are not watching cos of rubbish stories, why has corrie not lost any viewers in the last year, when everyone says it's been rubbish for so long?

Fact is younger people stay out, and for bgt, well it's event tv for one week only; so many young people will have got home just before 9 rather than before 8.

Like someone says the bbc3 repeat have seen amongst the highest weekly averages ever recently

Borefest? It was plain awful.

Corrie improved a lot on Wednesday it felt like a step in the right direction but then they take two steps back one for each equally bad episode.

I don't care what people say. The fact EastEnders has gone back to being a million behind Corrie after months of being just a couple of thousand behind, Tells me people are not liking current EastEnders storylines.

EastEnders fans can make as many excuses as they like but the proof is in the pudding.
Ha! Well here's one for you... I'm an EE fan and I haven't seen it at all this week... Not cos I think its crap, but cos I've been busy... It is summer!

Also with endless clashes with footie and emmerdale i gues lots of people miss it as the week goes on so by the time they get to Friday they don't bother opting instead to catch up on iplayer or Sunday omnibus... like me!

There have been a lot of tues and thurs clashes of late...

Check out the pub gardens on a friday night and you'll see where the ee fans are... as for Corrie, well its audience figures are hardly 'glowing' and it DOES have an older audience who i guess do less in all year round.

And before you say 'how do you know' well in my office people DO talk about EE - young people that is... No one ever mentins corrie.. cos all those conversations are saved for the OAP homes (joke -kidding, b4 anyone has ago).

anyway it matters not how many people watch it and just if its any good and so far this year EE has been sparkling, with lots of good stuff on the way...

BGT is watched by young and old, if you have a stat to back up your claims then I would like to see them.

So if that's the case it's going to have a much wider audience as it appeals to more people.

I dont really think you can compare 'live event' TV ratings with soaps which have many other opportunities to catch up and aren't all over the front of the following day's newspapers.

True and I'm not comparing soaps to BGT especially not EE to BGT. I was just explaining one of the reasons BGT gets such a big audience while other shows before get less.

I've just thaught, its rather strange how Corrie fans play the 'age' card whenever EE win an award like the NTA or the BSAs saying the younger viewers are more inclined to vote online or text, but are unwilling to follow that theory through and apply the principle into the ratings.

lower ratings for friday night but understandable.
so what EE got 800-900,000 lower than Coronation St. it's got an older audience and therefore older viewers tend to watch regardless of it's direbolity. Eastenders has a fantastic summer ahead though - May's return and an explosion that will be fantastic by the sounds.
Corrie's ratings aint exactly shining anyway.

I hardly praised it...i called it a borefest. I don't watch EE, but have praised it in the past, when it got 11.4m on Easter Monday for example.

7.7m!? Good rating...i think you (who has the same user name as myself?!) and me have different ideas of a good rating...

Interestingly for Friday's Second Corrie, its figure might actually have been inflated this week, by the big switch-on for BGT.

7.7m might not seem much but Corrie was less than a million ahead so looking at it that way it isn't too bad. Obviously less people were watching the soaps on Fri night and tbh I can't blame them. The weather has been great so most younger fans (and EE appeals to more of these than Corrie - FACT) would have been out enjoying the sun. Also I think both Corrie and EE are lacklustre atm so they're still doing really well given that fact.

And, of course, it was still 1m+ ahead of Emmerdale which is about normal. 7.7m would be excellent for Emmerdale these days. 5m is now considered par for the course for them. And then there's the fact the BBC3 repeat has been doing amazingly well recently so I wouldn't say EE is doing badly at all. It's down a bit but then so is Corrie and at least EE is making up for it with extra viewers catching it at 10pm. The repeats of Corrie never perform well even when the main ITV1 showing hasn't.

Back to Emmerdale, to think that was a soap that could get 10m up against EastEnders only 2 years ago. Oh how the tables have turned.

I also think it's a valid point that when there's a double clash with Emmerdale people who watched Emmerdale might not think it's worth it to watch EE on Fri and might want to catch up with everything they've missed on Sunday. I'd say people missing EE on Tuesdays only has a similar effect but to a lesser degree.

Well done Eastenders beating the second Corrie and also the strong BBC3 rating, taking Eastenders to nearly 9.2 for last night.

It's all down to the good weather. We are in the summer. You can't expect 9/10m in June anymore. The shares are good.

That's true I suppose but expect the next three weeks to be even more disastrous.

Do you think these ratings are really disastrous? They seem typical summer ratings to me.
