1999 was Emmerdale's 28th year.
Viewership[]
The average viewing figure for the year was 11.28 million viewers, which was up 10,000 on 1998. It should be noted that BARB's website only includes viewing data from 29th June 1998 onwards, making it impossible to make a fully accurate year-on-year comparison. It should also be noted that some episodes (usually the Tuesday edition) were repeated the day after their original broadcast and BARB combined the viewing figures for both showings of these episodes, which inflated their viewing figures slightly. The most-watched episode of the year was Episode 2473 (19th January 1999), with 14.97 million viewers (combined), while the least-watched episode was Episode 2547 (8th July 1999), with 8.80 million viewers. 62 episodes ranked within the weekly top 10 for all UK TV, which was 28 more than the year before, although chart placements are only available for the second half of that year.
