From Broadcast

An hour-long EastEnders wedding special drew 10m viewers (43.4%) to BBC1 last night, fending off the challenge from ITV1's Emmerdale.

The special 60 minute edition of the corporation's soap – featuring the wedding of Stacey Slater and Bradley Branning - saw its audience build from an initial 8.5m (37.6%) at the 7.30pm start to a high of 10.9m (47.5%) at 8pm.

The audience for BBC1's flagship soap was comfortably above the channel's slot average of 6.3m (36.7%).

EastEnders has, so far this year, averaged 8.4m (39.6%), making it the second most popular show on TV behind ITV1's Coronation Street.

That the EE wedding would win against other soaps, in this case Emmerdale, was obvious, just as well that the Coronation Street wedding was a day before, that really would have been a test. No big storyline going on in Emmerdale on Thursday where people wanted to know what was happening, I also switched over for the wedding. :bow:
