Eastenders may have a new time slot according to new controller of BBC Peter Fincham, although it is not clear yet what time the soap will be moved to.

The article is on the ThisisLondon website.

Sorry if this has already been posted, I did have a look but couldnt find any other threads.

Time slot changes are not needed. its a reduction in the number of episdodes that is needed to get EE up to a better standard...

Totally agree with this..
Can only assume they are change time so they never clash with Emmerdale again

Putting it on at the same time as Emmerdale- Ok but would still loose viewers. Coronation Street- suicide. 8-8.30pm too late. I don't see where it can go tbh :confused:

it just wouldnt be good putting it on at thesame time as these soaps. the only good thing is i can watch at tenon bbc3 but what about the peeps who dont have digital??? soppose it could be put on at 8pm every night.

Maybe with a bit of luck they'l put it on after the watershed which would give them a bit more scope for juicier storylines,that'd maybe improve things as long as they don't turn it into another footballers wives.

i think they should try only showing two episodes a week should give the script writers more time to plan storylines get it back on track and puting it on at 8pm would be good instead of 7.30 therefore it does not clash with other soaps

No because BBC have timetables. I think this thread is a rumour mill. Firstly, tuesdays will not be increased because of Holby City and I will STOP watching Eastenders if they made it 8 on thursday...The Bill is on at that time :love:
