EE lost to emmerdale again

Easties just went down the toilet imo. Haven't watched regularly for over 6 months and when I do it's normally the same old rubbish, e.g. that hostage nonsense the other week. It's never recovered from Berridge taking over and I don't think it ever will. It's been over 4 years now and I gave up waiting after giving it so many chances to recover. I was watching a few old EE episodes the other day on youtube and on my VHS: stuff with the Osmans, Pauline & Pat etc, and the exquisite quality of the storylining, writing and acting then puts the present EE to shame. The show is a mere shadow of its former self from the 80s and the 90s/YTK.

BTW great article Bryan. Enjoyed reading it.

Yet another head to head on Tuesday. I wonder who will win:rolleyes:

Easties of course:rotfl: I can't wait until the end of next week then I can kill the soap off permanently

I've noticed that they seem to be putting more head to heads on now and not showing an episode on either the Monday/Sunday. Maybe this is part of a new schedule plan by ITV?? Personally I think that there should be more hour long episodes of Emmerdale as I enjoy them even when the "softer" storylines are being aired and if I remember correctly I believe it will be one of these storylines which will be taking place during the head to head. One things for sure there will be no explosions, shootings, kidnappings as their is nothing big happening just yet, just normal good quality viewing etc..etc

From Media Guardian

Tuesdays viewing figures

Emmerdale 6.9m 33%
DeadEnders 6.4m 29%

And what was EE up against???? two very ordinary episodes of Emmerdale.:D

I will stick with EE.. I have no idea why.. I used to watch Emmerdale (farm) and corrie all the time and would even watch the omni on sunday but I haven't seen either of them in years and yet I can't let go of EE.. I will remain an EE fan

It was 6.6m 31% on the head to head,:) It seems pointless this head to head business to me,all it does is inconvenience the viewers,Surely Emmerdale realise that people arent actually choosing which soap they prefer,but are simply watching the repeated episodes,therefore seeing both.

EastEnders did very well. It was only 1500 viewers behind EE during the head off.


Emmerdale Farm is quite boring so I'm not surprised people turned it off!

Perdy? :wall:

I agree. I cant let go of EE. I will remain an EE fan too, i dont bother with Boring Dale these days, these hour long specials (if you can call them that, there soo often) put me off it even more. At the end of the day, it is just Boring- dale looking desperate. Eastenders did very well, and if there no mention in the papers (like there usually is) then it must be not that bad.

Well last month the excuse was because of Sadies death, the month before was the house explosion. The last two head to heads were just two ordinary episodes of Emmerdale shown back to back and still beat the BBC's so called flagship soap. The viewing figures tell the story. Emmerdale is the better soap. The viewing figures prove it.

I don't think viewing figures prove anything because if that was the case why Can't Emmerdale beat EastEnders on a normal night with a normal episode in its own time slot?

The arguement you set up there falls flat tbh.
