Eastenders to air on Fridays

Eastenders to go 4 nights from Friday 10th August, starting with the trial of Dan Sullivan.

[dot cotton mode] Oooh I say [/dot cotton mode]

Well that will quite possibly the beginning of the end of Eastenders then.

Corronation Street has turned into a total farce, and Eastenders might go the same way!

What are non-soap addicts like myself meant to watch when the Beeb and ITV insist on screening so much soap?

So there's:

Mon: Emmerdale, Corrie, Easties
Tue: Emmerdale, Easties
Wed: Emmerdale, Corrie
Thu: Emmerdale, Easties
Fri: Emmerdale, Corrie, Easties
Sat: SOAP FREE!
Sun: Corrie!

And not forgetting the rest (Home and Away, Hollyoaks, Brookie, Neighbours and more!)

But what about BBC Prime?!?!? They show the episodes on Wed, Thurs and Fri...where will the extra episode be fitted?!? OMG! Anarchy!

Funnily enough, they had a poll on the BBC Prime website asking that very same question. I registered for Friday, even though I'm rarely going to watch it on One and rarely on Prime!

Cheers, Asa

Coronation St is just a joke - I do not like it in the slightest.
Classic EEs is much better than current EEs.

Hollyoaks is the best at the moment - Gary Lucy (Luke) is my favourite actor on the programme!!

I read in the paper on Saturday, that the BBC were planning a Saturday slot for the extra episode, and they were going to schedule it agains ITV's alternative to Match of the Day.

Personally I used to watch quite a few soaps, but only watch a couple now.

Yeah I've just seen that poll...but Friday isn't an option: only Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I voted for Saturday.
