Somes of the clips they showed in tonight's episode on the video screens in the court of Kim crashing her car is clearly just footage from the episode itself faded out to black and white with date stamps added, filming from the sort of angles a CCTV camera wouldn't be pointing at and with the camera moving on a couple of the shots.
TV Tropes has a whole article with numerous examples this sort of thing. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MagicalSecurityCam

The dubbing on the final line of the episode wasn't great either.

I won't link directly to them because I don't particularly want to give them much more traffic, but there seems to be a coordinated attack on EastEnders/the BBC via some of the gutter press today. The Sun and Daily Mail have both published articles claiming the show is shedding viewers for 'wokeness', including false information about ratings and comparing them to ratings from the 1980s. The chatter has even made it to Loose Women and Jeremy Vyne. Odd when you consider that the show is actually better now (both in terms of content and performance) than it has been for some time.
I'm just cynical enough to wonder if ITV might have had something to do with this, given the poor performance of their own soaps in recent awards...

The figures that they used were 2015, 10 million viewers, 2023, 1 million viewers (vs 4 million for Corrie and Emmerdale).
Do you have a source that proves them wrong about that 1 million figure?
RE: EastEnders - IanJRedman - 07-07-2023
Isn't that comparing apples and oranges, though? ie, they're treating consolidated and overnight ratings as interchangeable?
Even then, the article claimed EastEnders is 'barely scraping' a million viewers. I'm just not convinced that's true - someone elsewhere wrote that the overnights for the first three episodes this week were 1.48m, 1.70m and 1.78m. Well above a million, and of course those are only overnights *and* it was relegated to BBC Two. I'd expect the number to increase substantially in the final figures.
Here is the graphic from one of the stories - I think it's absurd to try to compare modern TV ratings to the 1980s in this way:

I imagine the early release on the iPlayer gets a lot of viewers these days- especially as it clashes with Emmerdale every night. I know that's how I usually watch it most days.
RE: EastEnders - Kim Wexler’s Ponytail - 07-07-2023
It's a copy and paste job they churn out every summer now when the show gets kicked around the schedules for Wimbledon and World Cups/Euros. Similar to their annual faux outrage at the amount of people it takes to cover Glastonbury.

It's typical of The Sun to do this, picking numbers that suit. Same paper who ruined the Cindy and Ian return few months back.
RE: EastEnders - Brekkie - 07-07-2023
Of course it's audience falls when it moves to BBC2 and it's overall importantance has fallen to the point where that has been justified, but it has rebounded this year both critically and slightly in the ratings so I was a bit surprised they didn't opt to try and accommodate it in the 9pm hour on BBC1, though of course three nights this week those shows gave been bumped to BBC2.

The original sun article is pretty inflammatory with complaints about interracial families,
