Not sure that putting even more pressure on the existing crew is going to produce desirable results. It's not in a terribly great place as things stand - coming in well behind Coronation Street and Emmerdale. It's not the ratings winner it once was - so no longer a terribly valuable asset in the BBC One schedule.
It's been messed about in the schedules something shocking. You don't do that with a show you value.
Incidentally, this week's Media Show, debates whether or not soaps still matter: Have Soaps Run Their Course?
