Whenever there is something particularly good on one channel the other tries to compete with something better .....

If BBC has a good FA cup game on ITV has to show a bond film or Oceans Eleven etc. Whats it all about? Surely no-one is winning? Why dont BBC win the ratings one day and the next ITV shows the film and wins. They both do ok out of it and the punters are happy too.......

LUCKO

And why when there is something major going on in a soap say eastenders do they let it run a minute or 2 later then normal so you miss the start of corrie.

ITV needs to keep the advertisers happy.
BBC has to justify the licence fee.

scoobydooooo

what a splendidly naive question to ask !!

Explain ........

Surley they have both halved their viewing audiance on the day of the BIG programme. Assuming the next day they both have something crap on, which is normal, they have both won / lost. Its just the punter who looses?

I don't think a non sport fan would think that was competition!

Gutmann pug

Its the same with films ....... 2 on the same day at the same time?

SKY+ =no problem.

VHS recorder, no problem Anyway, are you chaps seriously worried about missing 2 minutes of a soap?

There seems to be a 'unwritten rule' that the soaps aren't on at the same time. I think this should be changed so that we really know what people prefer: Eastenders or Corrie (although we all know Emmerdale would trounce them both )
