I can't stand Eastenders, but it does get millions of viewers. As for the other 2, they are itv shows, so not the remit of
Itv, as you know.

I'm not a "soap" fan as such but Doctors, when good, could be great. It was also sometimes awful. But if I were DG there are many other shows I would have axed and Doctors deserved Prime Time far more than Eastenders, Emmerdale or Corrie.

I have to admit I rarely watched this show, mainly because I have to work during weekday daytimes, however from what I've seen it is greatly loved, well made and gives acting opportunities to older actors that rarely get to work anymore (Diane Keen, Angela Bruce, melvyn Hayes). it is another loss for the BBC after Andrew Neil, Emily Maitliss, Ken Bruce, and Gary Lineker.

I thought the final show and the documentary afterwards were splendid.
