emmerdale thrashed easties last night! RATINGS!

[chance]

Emmerdale emerged victorious over EastEnders in a heated head-to-head battle last night.

Both soaps aired special one-hour episodes at 7pm and, according to early figures, Emmerdale came out on top with almost 50% more viewers than its BBC rival.

An average of 9.06 million viewers - a 40.6% share of the available audience - tuned to ITV1, whereas just 6.27 million (28.1%) opted for the latest from Albert Square.

The figures mark EastEnders' second lowest ever in its 20-year history; the lowest being 6.2 million during another head-to-head in September of last year

What is going on why are rating so low and why are people picking on ee all the time its wots ever they cant win

I thought ee was really good last night but i did see an bit of emmerdale that was really good as well

[chance]

emmerdale was truly worth the hours episode,eastenders was like two half hour normal episodes merged in to one.its was really boring and just a every day episode thats why figures are so low.if ee was so good why were you switvhing over to see snippets of emmerdale?

[stacyefc]

i think the problem with eastenders is they concentrate on one storyline too much. i agree it was like two half hour episodes.

[angelblue]

Because i saw a snippet of it when charity gate crashes the party and shows the tape and punches sadie thats why?


By the way are you from the ee boards bcoz i remember your name

[angelblue]

what were they thinking puttin both ee and emmerdale on at the same time emmerdale was good and full of action ee just showed everyday normal life where nothing really happaned usually ee is great

[daisy38]

I think (but i could be well wrong) that Eastenders was only on for an hour last night because it's not on at all next Friday coz of Comic Relief!

Both EE & ED were down ED normally gets 10.5 million so both lost out depsite Emmerdale coming up on top.
