Emmerdale in 2001

2001 was Emmerdale's 30th year.

Viewership

The average viewing figure for the year was 9.71 million viewers, which was down 980,000 on 2000. It should be noted that this was the first year in which no episodes had their viewing figure combined with a repeat showing by BARB, which had inflated the average viewing figure for previous years slightly. The most-watched episode of the year was Episode 2822 (3rd January 2001), with 12.42 million viewers, while the least-watched episode was Episode 2864 (1st March 2001), with 7.16 million viewers. 56 episodes ranked within the weekly top 10 for all UK TV, which was 22 less than the year before.
