Those figures are wrong! did you add the extra 5 onto Corrie yourself?

Corrie got 9.1 million peaked at 9.6
EastEnders got 8.7 million peaked at 9.7
Emmerdale got 7.2 million

The BBC Three repeat got just under 1 million viewers at peak last night too.

So more people saw EE last night than any other soap.

Plus Corrie had a much hyped Fire so it was hardly a normal episode.

You come across as a sad geek!

There's no need for that comment!

I disagree alot with Al about Enders, but everyone is entitled to an opinion, and thus there is no need to make personal comments about other posters.

There was no need for this comment. Alan is a valued member of the boards, and like everyone else he is entitled to his opinion.

Consider yourself warned, any more outbursts like this and you will be banned.

Theres none so blind as those who cannot see. Last nights was the first full episode I have watched for a long time. I believed in all the hype on BBC and other boards. It certainly did not live up to the hype. The 'Stunt' was ill conceived and badly played out. The other two soaps just had ordinary episodes and IMHO both were infinitley more enjoyable.

You're both quoting Overnight Figures. They're always way out of line, and can be done by different companies, so give different results. Wait untill the offical BARB ratings come out in 2 or 3 weeks, and it will be clear.

Surely both figures will change by the same percentage when the BARB figures are released.

Anyway this from Saturdays SUN

EASTENDERS slumped to its lowest ever audience share as viewers dodged the car crash involving Phil Mitchell and Ian Beale.

BBC1 spent a fortune setting up the story for Phil, played by Steve McFadden, and Ian (Adam Woodyatt), which led to last night’s dramatic water rescue.


But Thursday night viewers preferred ITV1’s Emmerdale one-hour special, revealing who killed Tom King. Its audience peaked at 9.1million for the confession of Tom’s son Carl, played by Tom Lister.

That was a 44 per cent share of those watching telly — while EastEnders had only four million viewers, or a 19.6 per cent share.

The ratings for EastEnders were its second lowest ever. They just scraped past the 3.9 million who tuned in last July when both soaps also went head-to-head.

Dale star Tom told The Sun: “We’re all really proud. It was torture not being able to tell anyone the storyline — I didn’t even tell my mum and she was really upset!”


The BBC said: “There’s another chance to see EastEnders at 10pm on BBC Three, and last night it attracted a record 1.4million.”

EastEnders set the soap viewing record on Christmas Day 1986 when 30.15 million watched Den hand over divorce papers to Angie.

It's a hell of a big jump from 30.15 million that they used to have each week to 1.4 million. Maybe its a change in technology with there being more channels available. Whatever the reason in the drop of viewers its time that the beeb had a good hard look on why its getting beating in the ratings. The soap awards should be interesting next week.

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.
