I don't think UK viewership ever truly recovered once it moved to Channel 5. Personally I'd got out the habit and it took until the Kane/Dani storyline for me to start watching again. Then I moved to a property that couldn't pick up Channel 5 for a year or so. Eventually got back into it from flicking through channels in late 2003 and have constantly watched it since. Virtually everybody I know though never watched it in the Channel 5 era. Some are surprised it's still going and even more surprised that Big Alf is still in it.

Yeah I get where you’re coming from. She apologised which is good.

I have to say, voting for just 5 characters out of the first 16 years was a lot easier than voting for 5 characters from 39 years. It’s difficult to balance the want to vote for newer people who have made an impact with slotting them in amongst characters from the golden eras of the show. It is also a stark reminder of how some characters have been over-diluted.
