I was never a big fan of 2009 but yh.

[Gstar]

2009 is one of my favourite years

[Cranbred Goose]

Trina, Stacey’s story and Chryed were the only decent things about 2009 IMO. Hated late Archie and his lame whodunnit with a passion. They didn’t really think the last one through re. long-term repercussions on the show. But at least the bulk of it wasn’t dragged out over 2 years like the Lucy stuff.

[Tony Montana]

Great work Redway.

A few episode recommendations:

Phil and Stella's wedding and her death

Steve Owen's death.

Bradley's death

Do any white British people still watch these soap operas? It seems that the whole show is taken over by Jewish TV execs who use them to 'surprise' and 'tease' the British with insulting jibes about their manhood. If I was a British person, I would go down to the BBC (or JBC) and see about why you are paying your 150 BP TV license fee to a government that sold you all out in 1992.

All these shows are still disproportionately white British so I don't know where you're getting these strange little ideas from.

What Jewish executive producer?

[Cranbred Goose]

A few little statistics.

Christmas Day 2007 episode 2 (13.88 million, 55.3%) and 2010's live anniversary (14.91 million, 54.6%) had the highest viewing figures in terms of raw figure since New Year's Day 2004 (Janine killing Barry) and Alfie stopping Kat marrying Andy at the alter (November 2003), respectively.

The top 3 ratings peaks during Santer's reign between and just after those two landmarks were:

Christmas Day 2007 part I: 11.63 million (53.7%)
Christmas Day 2008 part II: 11.465 million (44.9%) - highest viewing figure of 2008
Immediate aftermath of Bradley's death (22/02/2010): 11.42 million (43%)

Top three highest ratings for each year from 2005 to 2010:

2005: 13.7 million (55.2%), 13.43 million (53.2%), 13.15 million (52.9%) - only episodes this year to get 13 million
2006: 12 million (46.4%), 11.8 million, 11.6 million (49%)
2007: 13.88 million (55.3%), 11.63 million (53.7%), 10.7 million (42.8%)
2008: 11.465 million (44.9%), 11.41 million (42.5%), 10.97 million (43.8%)
2009: 10.86 million (Christmas Day), 10.58 million (48.3%), 10.34 million (37.6%)
2010: 14.91 million (54.6%), 11.42 million (43%), 11.4 million (43%)

Up until Christmas Day 2007 no episode of EastEnders that year got more than 10.7 million viewers, the highest they got in 2008 for a normal-ish episode was 10.97 million (43.8%) on 03/01/08 (Kevin Wicks' funeral) and outside Danielle's death and Christmas the highest they got in 2009 was 10.34 million (37.6%), on the first Monday in February (Libby splashing Janine with paint).

In other words 1 episode averaged in the 11 million range in 2007, 3 episodes in 2008, no episodes in 2009 and 4 episodes in 2010.

No episode in those years averaged in the 12 million range and the last time they had one was the first episode of 2006 (Deano's arrival). The last time 13/14 million figures were the norm was in the first half of 2004. Last time it had half the available audience (50% share) was in February 2006. The highest concentration of 10 million overnights during Santer's reign was during the first four months of 2008 and the first three of 2010. It only broke the 10 million bracket 3 times in 2009 and about the same few times in 2007.

Did you use a random word generator to come up with these two sentences?
