1.4 mllion is what the BBC Three repeat gets. Normally EE gets between 8 million and 9 million. Last night it got 10 million only a few thousand behind Corrie while Emmerdale got 7.2 milllion.

Apparently it's drop in ratings is due to the weather, or the football, or because Emmerdale is on for an hour, or Corrie deliberately overrunning.........definitely not because EE has been so awful for the last 5 years.

Oh sarcasm!:rolleyes: Didnt your mother ever tell you its the slowest form of wit! :p

To be totally honest the ratings dont affect my enjoyment of EE. I couldnt careless if 50,000 or 50,000000 watch the bloomin' show (as long as it doesnt get axed!).

OK - lets not start getting into a Soap Wars debate here - some of us prefer EE, some of us prefer Emmerdale, some of us prefer Corrie - we are all human, we all enjoy different soaps. Lets not start with sarcastic or directed posts here. Keep it friendly, keep it about head to heads, on friendly terms, or I will close the thread.

Thank you.

I agree JJ, and im sorry if my post came across as harsh...it wasnt at all intended, rather the opposite.

I think the ratings, I know for some seem important, but I dont really understand why people get sooo bothered if one soap beats another one etc... They dont affect the viewers enjoyment or impact on the actually quality/fabric of the show. As I said, Im not bothered what EE's viewing figures are these days, as long as it doesnt get the bloomin' chop! :eek:

You enjoy it PB and at least you can present a decent reasoned argument as to why you like it. Thats why you views are respected. I agree what odds to you what it gets even if another soap beats it as long as you enjoy it thats all that matters. You stick with your favourite soap. Its no-one elses business. Bob the chicken is not saying what you use as an excuse when EEs ratings are poor but those of a Troll who will always stir up trouble each time they return here. The weather and other excuses are regularly rolled out by people who cannot admit any faults in THEIR soap. You on the other hand are adult enough to know good from bad. Bob is not stirring it up.

These are Mondays figures

MONDAY RATINGS

Corrie 7.30 - 10.2m 48.5%; 8.30 - 10m 43.6%
EE 9.8m 44.4%

So EE is only 4000000 behind Corrie which is good. But dont forget there is another head to head with Emmerdale next Tuesday

I would hate to see EE or any other soap get the chop despite that I don't watch them much, but I do think that the writers need to take the viewing figures seriously, but I also just think that the figures are taking from who watches the programme between 7.30 and 8pm, they don't count the veiwers who watch it at 10 or the repeats on a Sunday, or viewers who SKY+ . If they withdrawn the repeat at 10 or the ominbus on a sunday I think the figures would change dramatically. But as I said earlier technology has changed the way we are able to watch tv programmes.

Thank you Alan.

No, I wasn't trying to stir anything up and I'm sorry PinkBanana if you thought my post was intended to have a go at you. It was just meant in jest.......:angel:

Actually, for the record, my favourite soap is EastEnders...........I'm just a glutton for punishment.

Don't worry PB, the direction wasn't aimed at you - just in general to remind certain others that flame wars will not be tolerated

I may not be around or post much lately....but I'm still watching :ninja::ninja::lol::lol:

Oh thank god we all like different soaps.. life would be boring if we all thought the same and besides, I would have nothing to debate with Alan about :rotfl:

I only watch 2 soaps (EE and H&W) but I value everybody opinion on each soap they watch.. I will agree or disagree but not just for the sake of it.. I try and hope i have a well thought out arguement..

(As there is another clash Tomorow)
I Was just wondering
Do ED Fans like IT when go head to head WITH EE
i Am Sure there are fans of BOTH Shows,
I wish ED could put There One Hours On Suday and Could Up get 12M peolpe watching,
it's not fair fight AS they start the Race Half Hour early but they did beat ee once THAT was in 2005 March EE 7-8 (That was fair fight)

I don't understand the ratings business, with all the repeats and omnibus editions, can they really reflect which soap is more popular? I guess that people will watch the really exciting episodes of one soap, even if it clashes with another one because they can watch the missed one at a later time or day, I know I do this. :thumbsup: :cartman:

i think the ratings are inportant to emmerdale cos with itv they rely on advertising money to make their shows so if the ratings are high they charge more for the adverts if ratings slump they have to axe the show,whereas the bbc are funded out of the public purse so basically enders dont have to tryas hard

I dont think that it the case, EE still have to 'try hard' as if the ratings went down hill the show would be axed, so they need to justify the millions of licence payers' money they get. Plus I dont think any soap can afford to be complacent.
