Reply from the BBC when I asked the question why EE is not being shown on a Wednesday :Originally Posted by hetty
But why only four days? Is there a reason? Most soaps are usually on for five days a week! I just find it a bit odd that's all. But thanks for your reply
Yes! I'm enjoying it very muchWhat made me fall for Eastenders was the Johnny storyline, but I think the soap overall is quite good! I like all the characters, but the Carters, and the woman having twins and her husband.. those are my faves!
As the UK’s public service broadcaster, we do a great deal of research to inform what programmes we commission and where we place them in our schedules. When formulating the schedules, we do try to take into account audience expectations related to both the channel and the time of the broadcast, and of the variety of content we provide. We know that not everyone will agree with our choices when scheduling programmes. These are subjective decisions and we accept that not everyone will think that we are correct on each occasion.
Carpe Diem ~ seize the day!
